THE SUICIDE SQUAD Info/Leaks/Rumors Round-Up

>The Suicide Squad – Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman), Boomerang (Jai Courtney), Savant (Pete Davidson), Javelin (Flula Borg), Blackguard (Nathan Fillion) and Weasel (Sean Gunn) – are deployed to the South American island of Corto Maltese by Amanda Waller (Viola Davis). Their mission is to assassinate “The General” (Juan Diego Botto), who has committed a coup, but are defeated by Mongal (Mayling Ng), an alien warrior under The General’s command.

>Some leaks claim that the entire Squad is killed. Some leaks claim that the entire squad is captured. Some leaks claim that most of the Squad is killed, Flagg is captured and Boomerang joins The General for survival.

>Waller must assemble a new team to complete the mission, and recruits Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Vigilante (Idris Elba), Ratcatcher (Daniela Melchior), Peacemaker (John Cena), Polka-Dot Man (David Dastamalchian) and King Shark (Steve Agee).

>Vigilante is reportedly an ex-military and old friend of Flagg’s who was incarcerated for killing corrupt officials, and agrees to lead the mission in exchange for reuniting with his estranged daughter (Storm Reid).

>Ratcatcher is a teenage criminal who lives in the sewers of Gotham City, can telepathically control rats and is a specialist in poisonous gases. She becomes Vigilante’s surrogate daughter.

>Peacemaker is an unhinged, violent biker who claims to be a pacifist who loves peace so much he is willing to kill for it.

>Polka-Dot Man is a struggling aspiring supervillain ashamed of his meta-human ability to turn the polka dots covering his costume into a variety of weapons and powers like knives and fireballs.

>King Shark is a sentient human/shark hybrid and self-proclaimed long-lost price of a race of Atlantean shark-men, dismissed by others as a failed science experiment.

>Harley is Harley.

>The General is aided by “The Mayor” (Joaquin Cosio), described as “an irascible old warrior who lives for conflict”. There are rumors one of them is Vandal Savage.

>Mongal arrived on Earth during WWII and was captured and brainwashed on by the Nazis. After the war, they fled to Corto Maltese to continue their experiments with her, but were betrayed by a powerful local family, the Lloretas, which took control of Mongal and used her as a weapon against their enemies for decades, until The General manage to take control of Mongal for himself.

>Mongal is described as “Queens-tough, surly and monstrous but grounded”. There are rumors that she is a sympathetic villain due to the abuse that she endured and ultimately breaks free from The General’s control and wreaks havoc on everyone.

>The leaks that claim that the first Squad is captured claim that the second Squad breaks them out, and they then die one by one as they attempt to complete the mission. Adding some credence to it is that Harley was spotted on set using Javelin’s javelin.

>Peter Capaldi is playing an undisclosed character who is bald and requires prosthetics. Leaks claim he is Psimon.

>Taika Waititi is playing an undisclosed character said to be comedic and require “some CGI”. Leaks claim he is either Copperhead or Multiplex.

>Michael Rooker is playing an undisclosed character. There were reports it would be a voice role, so it was initially believed he would be King Shark.

This is so fucking wrong. Nathan Fillion is Detachable Kid and Peter Davidson is Blackguard.

>Harley Quinn, Vigilante, Ratcatcher, Peacemaker, Polka-Dot Man and King Shark are the main team.

>Peacemaker and Polka-Dot Man reportedly die.

>Alice Braga is playing an undisclosed character who is reportedly important. There are several conflicting leaks. Some say she is Scandal Savage. Some that she is Poison Ivy. Some that she is Queen Bee. Some that she is the scion of Lloretas out for revenge against The General.

>Tinashe Kajese and Jennifer Holland are playing undisclosed characters, said to be minor roles. Leaks claim Kajese is Ratcatcher’s mother and Holland is Vigilante’s ex-wife, but there were also rumors that they could be Vixen and Killer Frost, respectively.

>The “Lloreta leak” claims Braga’s character would hire meta-human mercs played by Capaldi, Waititi and Rooker to reclaim Corto Maltese from The General, setting up a three-way battle.

>Nathan Fillion is Detachable Kid

Gunn and Fillion already said on twitter that he isn't. It was the only one in the leaked list that Gunn bothered to correct.

>Mongal as sympathetic
Interesting, possibly setting up a Gamora/Thanos relationship with Mongul.

>Peacemaker played by John Cena
>Unhinged, violent biker who claims to be a pacifist but loves peace so much he'll kill for it
>may die
I feel like this character is gonna be fun. Cena in Bumblebee did make me want to see him act in action movies more.

Suicide Squad came out like a few years ago.

>No Katana
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
KAREN-CHAN IS CUTIE. SHE DESERVES ORE WORK.

If Gunn doesn't put her in a cameo then he's a pedo.

I really fucking hope the leaks are wrong and Ratcatcher is the one who dies.

>Tinashe
Wasn't she on reanimated?

What a way to waste Idris Elba playing not Deadshot instead of Bronze Tiger or Black Supes.

>King Shark is a shark

>Taika Waititi plays Snowflame

This all sound nice to me but I'll miss some of the old cast like Karen and Will but most of all I'll forever miss toilet witch enchantress. She made me hard as rock in the theater

They made mongol a girl?

>Elba is playing DC's most boring character

Dropped. I knew it was a pipe dream that they'd recast Deadshot as an actor with some actual depth, but this is just scraping the D-List barrel and then choosing to use the barrel splinters instead of what you scraped.

she would've been a damn good Colleen Wing

Why?

Idris Elba was originally casted as Deadshot before they decided to make him a new character instead so Will Smith can return in the future, so Vigilante was originally written as Deadshot in the script but they just changed the name and some other details

No, Mongal is Mongul's daughter

>john cena and polka dot man are in the main cast
kino

What if Vigilante is actually Martian Manhunter

Returning characters
>Harley Quinn
>Captain Boomerang
>Rick Flag
>Amanda Waller
Characters not returning
>Deadshot
>Killer Croc
>Katana
Deadshot and Katana HBO Max movies when?

>agrees to lead the mission in exchange for reuniting with his estranged daughter
They couldn't come up with a motivation that wasn't a retread of the first movie?

My primary hopes...

> Elba is not wasted nor treated as a joke. [such a fucking waste putting him in this movie instead of having him play steel in mos2 or John Stewart]

> Harley is sexualized.

> Harley gets a final more faithful sexy outfit and keeps it for future films.

> It's not as comedic as the Guardians films and it is especially does not have the bathroom humor that Guardians V2 had far too much of.

>>Vigilante is reportedly an ex-military and old friend of Flagg’s who was incarcerated for killing corrupt officials, and agrees to lead the mission in exchange for reuniting with his estranged daughter (Storm Reid).
So he really is just standing in for fucking Smith's Deadshot? Fucking wonderful!

>>Peacemaker is an unhinged, violent biker
Wat? I thought it was suppose to be a Comedian style government agent?

>Taika Waititi
Hat this mother fucker so much.

>>Alice Braga is playing an undisclosed character who is reportedly important. There are several conflicting leaks.
>>Some that she is Poison Ivy.
I liked her in Predators but please no.

>are defeated by Mongal
It looks like Mangal is part of the suicide squad though

Peacemaker is wooden Bender lmao

That's a behind the scenes pic.
