new BTS footage and cast reveal for james gunn’s the suicide squad

The Suicide Squad panel arrived this morning and it was incredible. The immense cast of characters, and the cast itself were both absolutely exciting. It seems as if the entirety of Hollywood is working on this movie, and thank god, considering how awful the first Suicide Squad film was.

In the panel, director James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy, Brightburn) released a 2-minute BTS video quickly explaining each character, and showing us some explosive action sequences. He also gave us the full cast list, including a confirmed Idris Elba and John Cena.

Here’s a rundown of the cast and who they’re playing in The Suicide Squad:

Margot Robbie – Harley Quinn
Jai Courtney – Captain Boomerang
Joel Kinnaman – Colonel Rick Flag
Viola Davis – Amanda Waller
Idris Elba – Bloodsport
John Cena – Peacemaker
David Dastmalchian – Polka Dot Man
Michael Rooker – Savant
Flula Borg – Javelin
Daniela Melchior – Ratcatcher 2
Steve Agee King Shark (on-set only)
Mayling Ng – Mongal
Peter Capaldi – Thinker
Alica Braga – Solsoria
Pete Davidson – Blackguard
Nathan Fillion – TDK
Sean Gunn – Weasel
Juan Diego Botto – Presidente General Silvio Luna
Joaquín Cosío – Major General Suarez (not in video, but revealed during the panel)
Storm Reid – Tyla, Bloodsport’s daughter (not in the video, but revealed during the panel)

That’s a pretty big list, am I right?
