Director James Gunn has revealed a new trailer for The Suicide Squad, giving our best look yet at many of the oddball DC Comics characters (and the actors playing them) that are on the team’s roster in this follow-up to the 2016 film. We also got to see some of them use their powers in the new preview, like David Dastmalchian's Polka-Dot Man throwing his, well, polka dots at his enemies.
The trailer also offers up new footage of Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Amanda Waller (Viola Davis), Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman), Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney), Bloodsport (Idris Elba), TDK (Nathan Fillion), Peacemaker (John Cena), Blackguard (Pete Davidson), and more. Interestingly, we're still not clear on who Taika Waititi is playing in The Suicide Squad (but we have a few theories).
For every badass new character in the mix, there are the wacky inclusions, D-listers who are likely to serve as darkly humorous cannon fodder in an action film where the protagonists are, by their very nature, expendable.
Check out the full breakdown of The Suicide Squad cast below:
•Idris Elba - Bloodsport
•Margot Robbie - Harley Quinn
•John Cena - Peacemaker
•Viola Davis - Amanda Waller
•Jai Courtney - Captain Boomerang
•Joel Kinnaman - Rick Flag
Back in August, the DC FanDome panel for The Suicide Squad revealed that Bloodsport is in prison for shooting Superman with a kryptonite bullet,
In the DC Comics, Bloodsport is a Superman foe and has been a few different people throughout the character's history. The character first appeared in Superman #2 in 1987 and was created by John Byrne and Karl Kesel.
Elba’s costume certainly looks different from Bloodsport's comic book outfit. How about that mask! That menacing maw almost makes it look like a Xenomorph’s face.
Playing Tyla, the daughter of Elba’s character Bloodsport, is Storm Reid, whose credits include A Wrinkle in Time, The Invisible Man, and HBO’s Euphoria. 2016’s Suicide Squad developed a relationship between Deadshot and his young daughter Zoe Lawton; seeing as how Elba is the Will Smith surrogate in this film then it’s possible Gunn transferred whatever relationship the sequel was originally meant to explore between the Lawtons to these characters and changed their names since Gunn chose not to recast Will Smith’s role.
Ant-Man’s David Dastmalchian plays Polka-Dot Man, aka Abner Krill. Polka-Dot Man is an obscure Batman foe whose outfit is composed of weaponized dots (seriously). Meanwhile, SNL and The King of Staten Island’s Pete Davidson portrays Blackguard. Blackguard was an enemy of Booster Gold's whose real name was, yes, Dick Hertz.
In a pair of roles accomplished via motion-capture, Steve Agee plays the towering King Shark, while director James Gunn’s brother, Sean Gunn, plays the human-sized vermin known as Weasel. You may recall that Sean Gunn also plays the mo-cap reference for Rocket Raccoon in the Marvel movies. Sylvester Stallone is voicing King Shark.
Another Guardians of the Galaxy alum, Michael Rooker, plays Savant, a lesser Bat-villain who later became a member of The Suicide Squad during The New 52.
Steve Agee also plays a separate role, a DC Comics character named John Economos, according to a tweet from James Gunn. Gunn has also revealed that Tinashe Kajese plays Flo Crawley, another DC Comics character.
The New Mutants’ Alice Braga plays Solsoria, who appears to be an original character in the film and a soldier of some kind.
Mayling Ng plays Mongal, who in the DC Comics is the daughter of an alien tyrant … so she’s Gamora? We’ll see if Mongal ends up as integral to The Suicide Squad as Gamora did to the Guardians.
