Director James Gunn and the cast of upcoming sequel The Suicide Squad have unveiled the new characters, along with the first footage, at DC’s virtual event, DC Fandome.
The behind-the-scenes footage featured a number of interviews with the director and cast, teasing a 1970s war movie combined with a comedy. But don’t get too attached, it appears a number of the characters won’t make it…
Also, Idris Elba’s character has finally been confirmed as Bloodsport, along with Peter Capaldi as The Thinker, John Cena as Peacemaker and Nathan Fillion as T.D.K.
