G.O.O.D. Music’s Common is going to extend his impressive acting résumé by joining the growing Hollywood star-heavy Suicide Squad cast.

According to reports, Common is the latest entertainer to be added to the must-see DC Comics movie.

Oscar-winning rapper-turned-actor Common has closed a deal to join the cast of Suicide Squad, Warner Bros.’ all-star action movie featuring DC Entertainment super-villains. David Ayer is directing the feature, which already boasts actors Jared Leto as the Joker, Will Smith as Deadshot and Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. Also in the lineup are Joel Kinnaman, Cara Delevingne, Viola David, Adam Beach, Ike Barinholtz, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Scott Eastwood. (The Hollywood Reporter)

Common is also expected to appear in an upcoming movie called Being Charlie.

He, Nick Robinson, and Morgan Saylor were tapped to head up Rob Reiner’s next directorial project, Being Charlie. Robinson plays the titular teen, who busts out of a youth drug treatment facility. He’s subsequently forced to go to an adult one by his folks, where he finds an intriguing cohabitant in Eva. (Entertainment Weekly)

The rap veteran recently talked to SOHH about his impressive Hollywood career.

“I definitely would want to have an EGOT (Emmy Grammy Oscar Tony award). I definitely am looking, in my trajectory, I want to do Broadway and I definitely am doing a television project that I’m hoping will be that high quality enough to garner that type of attention. I’m really enthused to write music now. I feel more free and more powerful than I ever have writing music. With that being said, some of my inspiration is to write music that’s going to, obviously, move the world and write music that may be accompanied with a film project, not even just a movie that’s produced.” (SOHH)

He also talked about what inspired him to stay hungry in the competitive entertainment business.

“Let’s say I write an album and we do a film based around that, I’m thinking about music in different ways. I’m not saying, “Okay, I’m just going to release an album.” I might say, “I’m going to do these eight songs and they’re going to be accompanied by a short film and we write a book and then we put it on Broadway.” Those are the things that keep on inspiring me.” (SOHH)
