DC FanDome: The Suicide Squad Revealed
by Olly MacNamee
On the Suicide Squad panel, hosted by James Gunn, we finally got a look at which villains the cast are playing in a trailer, of sorts. Idris Elba gets to play Superman villain Bloodsport, with Aussie actors, Margot Robbie and Jai Courtney reprising their roles of Harley Quinn and Captain Boomerang respectively. Comedian and SNL regular, Peter Davidson will be playing Blackguard and wrestler-turned-actor John Cena cast as old Charlton Comics character and the model for Watchmen’s The Comedian.
Also announced were Viola Davis returning as Amanda Waller, Sean Gunn playing yet another seemingly CGI vermin, Weasel, Flula Borg plays Javelin Man (or, is it just Javelin, as the graphic suggests?), Peter Capaldi will play Thinker, Michael Rooker as Savant, Joel Kinnaman returns as Rick Flag while David Oastmalchian plays Polkadot Man. We also have Daniela Melchoir revealed as Ratcatcher 2 and Mayling Ng as Mongal, Alice Braga will play Solsoria and Nathan Fillion will play T.D.K. That is one large cast! And all directed by James Gunn, which should be fun.
