Just like its Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice counterpart, the cast of David Ayer’s Suicide Squad seems to be constantly growing. We’ve had reports so far that have included Onslaught and Antiphon as the main villains with Deathstoke as their hired gun, as well as Hugo Strange and Plastique rumoured to have roles in the film. Not only that, but it’s been confirmed that Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje has joined the cast as Killer Croc and now we have a new rumour to add to the list.
According to Latino-Review (who seem to have quite the hold on this movie based on their obscene amount of rumours), Red Hood is set to also have a part not just Suicide Squad, but also the rest of the DC Cinematic Universe. The site claim he is now a priority character for DC.
Nothing confirmed for now, so just a rumour for the time being.
Directed by David Ayer, Suicide Squad is set for release on August 5th 2016, and features a cast that includes Joel Kinnaman (RoboCop) as Rick Flagg, Will Smith (Hancock) as Deadshot, Jai Courtney (Terminator: Genisys) as Captain Boomerang, Margot Robbie (The Wolf of Wall Street) as Harley Quinn, Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club) as The Joker, Viola Davis (How to get Away with Murder) as Amanda Waller, Scott Eastwood (Fury) as Steve Trevor, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Thor: The Dark World) as Killer Croc and Ray Olubowale (Resident Evil: Afterlife) as King Shark. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice star Jesse Eisenberg is also expected to reprise the role of Lex Luthor, while Jay Hernandez (Hostel) has signed on for an unspecified role.
