"Do
you
mind
if
I
eat
a
little?
I'm
trying
to
gain
a
lot
of
weight.
It
means
I
have
to
eat
every
couple
of
hours
-
and
I'm
terrible
at
eating
a
lot," he
said,
while

"The
opportunity
to
take
on
this
nearly
Shakespearean
character
-
that's
what
graphic
novels
and
comic
books
are
becoming,
right?
(He's)
this
beautiful
disaster
of
a
character
-
what
a
big
challenge,"
he
said.
"Suicide
Squad"

stars
Will
Smith,
