Tom Hardy walking away from the upcoming 'Suicide Squad' film was a huge letdown for a lot of fans when the news was announced. However, word about why it had to go down the way it did was the focal point of a recent interview with the actor.

While the current cast is definitely solid, Hardy would have definitely sold it for a lot of skeptical audiences.

It was rumored that Hardy left because of disagreements regarding the script, however he as finally spoke out about the decision in recent Collider interview:

"Warner Bros. is my home studio and I love them so I was really bummed out. I wanted to work on that and I know the script is really f*****g alley and I also know what's gonna happen with The Joker and Harley Quinn in that; I won't give away too much...it's f*****g alley. And that whole territory is something that I would certainly-I mean, everybody loves The Joker. Everybody loves The Joker. Will Smith is a dope guy, but everybody loves The Joker and that's gonna, I think, be a very important film for fans.

There's a very practical element as to why I've missed out on that foray, which is because Alejandro [G. Inarritu] has overshot by three months in Calgary, so we've got to go back out to Patagonia or Alaska to continue shooting The Revenant which has turned into a much bigger beast than we thought, but that also looks exceptional...Literally we wrapped in Calgary for now until we go back in July. It would have smashed the two, I would've had a beard. It was just not gonna happen so I got a**-slammed technically out of Suicide Squad, gutted, so I had to hand it over to Joel Kinnaman, who will do an amazing job. It's just I got bumped out, and that's cool that's the way it is."

It's nice to know that Hardy did in fact have a lot of faith in the project, but as suspected his schedule conflicted. It at least adds validity to 'Suicide Squad' potentially being a great film if an actor like Tom Hardy cosigned on it.

'Suicide Squad' is set to drop on August 5^th, 2016.
