The big mystery surrounding James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad has been…well, who the Hell is everybody playing? That they’ve managed to keep it secret so long has been pretty extraordinary. Gunn has been vocal about nobody guessing what Idris Elba’s role really is, and he was right. Nobody expected it would be Bloodsport.
A role call for The Suicide Squad has revealed everyone’s role, including Flula Borg as Javelin, John Cena as Peacemaker, Michael Rooker as Savant, Mayling Ng as Mongol, Peter Capaldi as Thinker, Alice Braga as Sulsoria, Pete Davidson as Blackguard, Nathan Fillion as T.D.K., Sean Gunn as Weasel.

They join characters who had been previously confirmed, such as Daniela Melchior as Ratcatcher 2, Steve Agee as the voice of King Shark, and returning stars Joel Kinnaman, Viola Davis, Jai Courtney, and Margot Robbie.
However, they didn’t reveal Storm Reid’s role, even though she does make an appearance during the panel to ask a trivia question regarding Bloodsport. In the comics, Bloodsport goes to prison for shooting Superman with kryptonite bullets.
The Suicide Squad opens August 6th 2021. Check out even more of the film in a new behind-the-scenes feature below.
