Kapanlagi.com - Director of THE SUICIDE SQUAD, James Gunn revealed the characters in his upcoming 2021 film. The Twitter account of THE SUICIDE SQUAD posted the cast and characters in the film THE SUICIDE SQUAD. "YOU.ARE.NOT.READY. But here it is! Get ready for the ultimate character revealed by @JamesGunn #TheSuicideSquad #DCFanDome"

In the 1 minute 51 second video, we can see some returning actors reprising their roles, such as Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Amanda Waller (Viola Davis), Colonel Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman), and Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney). However, many new characters will join The Suicide Squad. One of the most discussed characters is Idris Elba who plays BloodSport.

After several speculations about the role that Idris Elba will play, it is finally revealed that he will portray BloodSport. In the comic version, BloodSport is a mercenary obsessed with the Vietnam War who usually goes after Superman. Idris Elba was initially predicted to replace Will Smith as Deadshot but instead, he will play BloodSport. Just like Deadshot, BloodSport's advantage lies in his ability to use weapons.

In addition to Idris Elba playing the character BloodSport, many new characters also appear in this film. Among them is Ratcatcher 2, played by the beautiful actress Daniela Melchior. In the comics, Ratcatcher is a former insect exterminator who has a spiritual connection with rats. Additionally, it is unique that in the comics, Ratcatcher is a male rather than a female. The addition of the number 2 in the character's name may be the difference between the film version and the comic version.

And one of the new characters in this film who also attracts attention is Peacemaker, played by John Cena. In the comics, Peacemaker is someone who enjoys peace in the world. Ironically, in order to achieve peace and harmony, he is willing to do anything, such as killing people, going to war, and so on. Interesting for us to look forward to how these three characters can join The Suicide Squad.
