![]() ![]() Though story details are still kept under wraps, Gunn has shared that the upcoming movie will not include Clark Kent’s origin story. Gunn has expressed multiple opinions about superhero movies – even calling some movies ‘lazy‘ – so expectations for Superman: Legacy are rather high at this point in time. Plus, if there’s one thing we learn from The Suicide Squad is that Gunn the man loves dealing with multiple diverse characters at one go. The introduction of new superheroes in a Superman movie is an interesting move by Gunn, but perhaps the DC Studios co-CEO is planning to hard launch the DC cinematic universe as a formed entity rather than rebuild it one superhero movie at a time. L-R: Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced and Edi Gathegi. Merced ( Dora and the Lost City of Gold) will play Hawkgirl and Gathegi from For All Mankind will play Mister Terrific. Besides, the return of some members of the original squad is not completely off the table.After finding Superman and Lois Lane in David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan, Superman: Legacyhas now expanded to cast Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced and Edi Gathegi in their respective superhero roles.įillion, who previously played T.D.K in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, will now play Guy Gardner, aka Green Lantern. The film is jam-packed with characters who may or may not live to see the end of the film and the unpredictability factor only makes its release all the more exciting. With El Diablo dead and his dark characterization not fitting in James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, it's unlikely he will ever return in a future DCEU movie.Īlthough these members of the original squad are missed, it's refreshing to see new outrageous comic book villains put their lives on the line in James Gunn's The Suicide Squad. El Diablo was perhaps the most powerful character in the 2016 movie, but sadly, he had little screentime and was forced to sacrifice himself to defeat Incubus and Enchantress. Hernandez has been vocal about his support for the Ayer Cut of Suicide Squad, but no longer holds out hope for his character's return. Now that the squad members have switched up (and the first Suicide Squad proved the brand's financial viability), Killer Croc will enjoy a lengthy retirement in his prison cell for the time being, while Sylvester Stallone's apex predator with a heart of gold bonds with his new teammates while fighting a gigantic starfish.ĭespite being an important part of the first film, Jay Hernandez's El Diablo didn't return for the sequel. Similar to the New 52 continuity in the comics, King Shark was originally intended to play Killer Croc's role in the first Suicide Squad, but director David Ayer chose to replace him with the scaled metahuman due to the extensive CGI work the character required. ![]() To differentiate The Suicide Squad from the original movie in terms of tone, plot, and characterization, James Gunn replaced Killer Croc with King Shark as the "monster" tank member of the team. However, the actor was one of the first to announce that Killer Croc wouldn't return to James Gunn's The Suicide Squad. The makeup work on this particular character helped the film win an Academy Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling, while Akinnuoye-Agbaje's previous role as Kurse in Thor: The Dark World gave him the experience to portray a comic book character under heavy prosthetics. Portrayed by Lost and Game of Thrones actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, the iconic Batman foe is one of the founding members of Amanda Waller's squad in the 2016 film and one of the key players in their victory over The Enchantress (Cara Delevingne). ![]() Certainly, the Joker's tendency to unleash chaos on friends and foes alike, together with his inability to feel empathy (not even to his so-called love, Harley Quinn), doesn't make him a good fit for the colorful world of The Suicide Squad. None of the upcoming movies in the Warner Bros.' slate give any hint at Joker's appearances in future DC installments either, and Leto's next superhero project is currently the title character in the Sony Spider-Man spinoff movie Morbius. Besides, Joker and Harley Quinn broke up before the events of Birds of Prey and she will be distancing herself from her psychotic ex-boyfriend in future appearances. The Suicide Squad is filled with bizarre and violent characters, but they all have an underlying wish to do the right thing. Without taking into account the mixed reception of Leto's portrayal of the iconic Batman villain, James Gunn explained that he didn't bring back the Joker in The Suicide Squad simply because he wouldn't fit the story.
