The Suicide Squad
Suicide Squadis sometimes regarded as the light link ofthe DCEU line - up , but hoopla for the follow - up has been burning hot ever sinceJames Gunn took overthe undertaking . While many would credibly prefer to see James Gunn helmGuardians of the Galaxy 3for Marvel , fans seem eager to see what Gunn will bring to this supervillain squad - up film .
However , the roster of the upcomingSuicide Squad 2is mostly a mystery story . Presumably , some villains will return while others wo n’t . And while we all mourn the lack of Slipknot in this sequel ( he remains the most vital member of the Suicide Squad team , after all ) , we need to look ahead to which villains may appear inSuicide Squad 2 … and which I will be for sure have an appearing .
(Confirmed) Harley Quinn
If any graphic symbol is confirmed , it ’s Harley Quinn . Despite someuncertainty about Harleyappearing inSuicide Squad 2 , it seems all but confirmed now the ever popular Harley Quinn will be returning to the sequel . This is probably for the respectable . Harley Quinn is an fantastically interesting role with a tidy sum of room to uprise .
Plus , in the hands of James Gunn , she might be written as a truly complex , fascinating character . Margot Robbie ’s functioning remained the standout of the original moving-picture show . Given the right hand ( as she may also be give inBirds of Preyin 2020 ) , Harley may end up one of the most iconic anti - heroes in superhero movie house .
(Could) Black Manta
Yahya Abdul - Mateen II ’s performance as Black Manta inAquamanwas , like Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn , an absolute standout . While Manta may be obsess with getting his retaliation against Arthur Curry , Amanda Waller may recruit this expert plagiarizer who can go fist - to - clenched fist with the King of Atlantis for some insidious purpose .
More smuggled Mantacan only be a good thing , as it will allow this incredible villain more chances to fight . what is more , as a returning villain from another DCEU franchise , it can giveSuicide Squad 2the chance to impart stratum to another pre - established character .
(Could) Captain Cold
Captain Cold is n’t really malign , but he is a career crook . He has standards . He works well with a squad . And , like Captain Boomerang before him in the originalSuicide Squad , he is enemy with The Flash .
The Flashmovie has enough job getting off the ground . It would be a smart melodic theme to introduce Captain Cold inSuicide Squad 2 , only to contain him later intoThe Flash . After all , it can economise time usher in an all - new villain in the already riotous film .
Furthermore , Captain Cold is just a big baddie . A squad player who prioritise the objective , but get along great with his teammates . It would be rewarding to see a villain who is n’t really that bad a guy to his teammates .
(Could) Parasite
Parasite is a somewhat more obscure villain . One of the Man of Steel ’s opposer , Parasite is a grotesque monster who feeds on the life history energy of those around him , gaining their powerfulness and memories in the process .
Parasite could assist a useful purpose , especially ifSuicide Squad 2puts the villains in a scenario where they need to meet information . Parasite is at once monstrous and human . He can occupy a very singular niche in the plastic film . what is more , it would be nice to introduce a baddie here who goes toe - to - toe with Superman rather than , say , another Batman baddie .
(Confirmed) Amanda Waller
Amanda Waller is the head of the Suicide Squad . By the very nature of this film , it ’s clear she will be occupying a role in this film to some capacitance .
Again , Waller was a highlighting of the originalSuicide Squad , but , in the hand of Gunn , Waller can become the sort of character you ’d believe can gainsay witticism with Batman and intimidate Superman . She is just a homo , but overlook such a presence . It ’s only logical she ’d be the tie down forcefulness for the team . However , the substantial trial will be how Gunn use Waller in the film … and to what stop ….
(Could) Poison Ivy
Harley Quinn can expend a girl .
Suicide Squad institute that Harley Quinn loves The Joker , but lover of the comic know this relationship is incredibly toxic and dangerous . Harley Quinn , however , does have another partner she is quite close to – and that ’s Poison Ivy .
If James Gunn require to do something truly special , he ’d useSuicide Squad 2as a fomite to further remove Harley from her toxic relationship with the Joker ( again , as it seemsBirds of Preywill be doing as well ) , and proceed her in with one Poison Ivy . It would be serious to see a incontrovertible relationship form on this team , view none of the Squad wants to be there ( as attest by the bomb in their nous ) .
Plus , Poison Ivy is SUCH a alone , marvellous baddie in her own right . Her distorted eco - terrorism and feminist movement make for a compelling motive . And she ’s a fan - favorite , to boot .
(Could) Cheetah
Cheetah will bemaking her first appearanceinWonder Woman 1984 , as play Kristen Wiig . While no one knows what will happen in that film ( yet ) , it would be a shame to never use Cheetah again after her initial appearance .
While we have yet to see Cheetah , it would be fascinating to see her comeback with a whole clustering of new fibre . Seeing her interact and behave among villainous match would be cool , but even more interesting would be to see what this no - doubt brilliant reference will do when place in a New circumstance .
(Could) Bane
The gentleman’s gentleman Who Broke the Bat , Bane remains one of the most democratic DC Villains around . While Tom Hardy ’s performance remains a standout , it ’s also passably clear thatThe Dark Knight Rises’Bane was far get rid of from his Venom - tincture counterpart from the comics .
Bane is a master strategist , a human dynamo , but also a man on a mission : break the Bat . It would be curious to see if Bane somehow uses this chance on the Squad to further his own agendas .
Also , this could be a good chance for them to open up up the possibility of clear aSecret Sixfilm , as Bane was a centre phallus of Gail Simone ’s iconic run onSecret Six .
(Confirmed) Deadshot
Will Smith remains one of the most iconic superstars around . Will Smith was confirmed forSuicide Squad 2the instant it came out . He has had a huge impact on the projection since its initial announcement andremains omnipresentthroughout all discussions of the cinema .
Deadshot remains one of the best assassins in the DCEU , right up there with Deathstroke . Until Slade Wilson has his day ( perchance even in this film ? ) , Deadshot remains the premiere gas pedal - for - hire around .
It is unbelievable we will see the entire original Suicide Squad regaining in this subsequence . However , the core trinity of character remains Quinn , Waller , and Deadshot . Despite all of the originalSuicide Squad ’s issues ( of which there are many ) , these three are not among them . If anyone is to render to link up with the Suicide Squad , it ’s these three .
