James Gunn's The Suicide Squad: Who's playing who
We've finally found out who's playing who in James Gunn's The Suicide Squad. Some returning characters are not a surprise, obviously, but the rest of the lineup has finally been revealed thanks to the big DC Fandome event taking place this weekend.
Gunn himself hosted the panel-slash-game show which had nearly everyone from "Task Force X," a.k.a, the Suicide Squad, in attendance.
Here's the roll call:
Viola Davis as A.R.G.U.S. director Amanda Waller
Joel Kinnaman as Colonel Rick Flag
Michael Rooker as Savant
Flula Borg as Javelin
Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn
David Dastmalchian as Polka-Dot Man
Daniela Melchior as Ratcatcher 2
Idris Elba as Bloodsport
Steve Agee as King Shark
Mayling Ng as Mongal
Peter Capaldi as The Thinker
Alice Braga as Solsoria
Pete Davidson as Blackguard
Nathan Fillion as TDK
Sean Gunn as Weasel
Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang
John Cena as Peacemaker
Other in the cast include Storm Reid, Taika Waititi, Joaquín Cosío, Julio Ruiz, Tinashe Kajese, Jennifer Holland, and Juan Diego Botto.
Aside from the roll call's massive lineup, Gunn introduced a sneak peek at the behind-the-scenes of the film.
The director claims that "It's gonna be different from any superhero movie ever made," and producer James Safran even calls it a "gritty, 1970s war movie combined with (the) brilliance of James Gunn's characters and comedy."
The Suicide Squad is written and directed by Gunn and will come out in 2021.
