Who said the "Suicide Squad" members have no heart?
After wrapping up the filming for the upcoming DC Comics anti-hero movie in Toronto this past weekend, a couple of cast members who portray the roles of some of the most ruthless villains in the comics universe chose to have a heartwarming celebration.
Actors Jai Courtney and Margot Robbie, who portray Boomerang and Harley Quinn, respectively, decided to drop by the little lemonade stand of a young girl named Na'ama Uzan, before heading to their cast party.
Na'ama, a five-year-old Toronto native, has been selling lemonade to help find cure for a rare disease called the Angelman Syndrome. This condition causes her big brother, seven-year-old Nadav Uzan, to experience difficulty in talking and walking.
The young girl aims to help raise funds for the Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Therapeutics for further research and treatment for patients suffering from the said disease, in her hopes that "all the Angelman kids will be able to talk and not have seizures and epilepsy" in the future.
"I heard about Na'ama's story and what she's doing for her brother Nadav," Courtney said to a reporter from CTV Toronto while sipping the lemonade that he bought from Na'ama on Toronto's John Street. "There's no act too small when you're talking about making a difference."
Aside from Courtney and Margot, "Suicide Squad" has a star-studded cast composed of Will Smith as Deadshot, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flagg, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Adam Beach as Slipknot, Jay Hernandez as El DIablo, as well as Jared Leto as the Joker. It also stars Ike Barinholtz, Scott Eastwood, Raymond Olubowale, Alex Meraz, Jim Parrack, and Common in still unrevealed roles.
"Suicide Squad" is written and directed by David Ayer, and will be released on Aug. 5, 2016.
