James Gunn's Suicide Squad: Who's In The Upcoming DC Movie?

The new Suicide Squad's cast is stacked, but who is playing who?

15 Comments

James Gunn's Suicide Squad has an almost impossibly massive cast, with names ranging from Viola Davis to John Cena, and it's been the source of much speculation for fans as they eagerly await news for the upcoming DC movie. Just who, exactly, is playing whom? What sort of insanity does Gunn have up his sleeve? What can possibly be done with a roster that big?

Well, thankfully, DC FanDome presented a simple answer to that question in the form of a roll call. Here is everyone in Gunn's version of the Squad, and who they're playing--and just a heads up, some of them are pretty obscure.

Here's the list:

  • Viola Davis as Amanda Waller
  • Joel Kinnaman as 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
  • King Shark as King Shark (motion captured by Steve Agee)
  • Mayling Ng as Mongal
  • Peter Capaldi as The Thinker
  • Alice Braga as SolSoria
  • Pete Davidson as Blackguard
  • Nathon Fillion as TDK
  • Sean Gunn as Weasel
  • Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang
  • John Cena as Peacemaker

In addition to the role call, the FanDome panel also premiered an extended behind the scenes look at the movie, with footage of multiple antiheroes, villains, and heroes in action--yes, even Polka Dot Man, who does, still, apparently, fight with magical polka dots. Give it a watch.

Suicide Squad is currently slated for release in 2021.

If nothing else, I’m excited for Peter Capaldi as The Thinker. Basically an evil Doctor Who!

In my opinion DCU started off real trash lol.

Man o steel was boring as heck.

BvS was super dumb and boring.

League was a mess.

Wonderwoman was kool despite a weak villain...

Suicide squad was pretty terribad lol.

Shazamm ended quite weak with a weak villain but everything else seemed kool.

Joker is sort of not really one of these kinds of movies but it's alright. Kind of boring but a nice deep dive into mental illness and how society needs to work harder at keeping folks from doing crazy stuff.

Aqua man is dumb but so dumb it's hilarious. And it wasn't boring. Crazy colors everywhere. All sorts of weird crap lol.

And I heard that birds of prey is not bad but I haven't seen it yet.

So basically they got a real bad start and have been kind of hit or miss ever since. Still hoping they do a good job with their next projects though. They gotta catch up to titles like end game : )

Just my opinion though. If you like the DCU movies as if they are the greatest thing ever then good for you. Sadly I can't get that level of enjoyment out of them.

@goldenageplayer: Do not worry your not alone, most all are just terrible to car wrecks. DCU just simply wants to make their movies on the cheap ignoring little things like plot.

Margot Robbie no thanks.

She hijacks the whole movie.

The fact that it was in Gotham & only featured Batman in 1 flasgback was crap.

NOt to mention how they wasted/ruined Jared Leto's Joker and made him unlikable..

*James Gunn or no James Gunn i have no faith whatsoever in lame DC Hollywood.

Ezra Miller is the worst Barry Allen in any content.

And they are making this instead of the other 50 amazing storylines that could rock.

Why aren't they recasting Harley anyways? I didn't think Margot was anything special.

Or am i supposed to only care about nice T+A?
