The Suicide Cast Revealed: Who Does Idris Elba Play?

Director James Gunn unveiled the cast of The Suicide Squad at DC FanDome, officially revealing which DC Comics characters (and the actors playing them) are on the team’s roster in this follow-up to the 2016 film. While we knew Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Amanda Waller (Viola Davis), Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman), and Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney) were all back for the sequel, the rest of the characters hadn’t been confirmed or even disclosed before Saturday’s panel. For every badass new character in the mix, though, there are also several wacky inclusions, D-listers who are likely to serve as darkly humorous cannon fodder in an action film where the protagonists are, by their very nature, expendable.

The Suicide Squad Cast:

• Idris Elba - Bloodsport
• Margot Robbie - Harley Quinn
• John Cena - Peacemaker
• Viola Davis - Amanda Waller
• Jai Courtney - Captain Boomerang
• Joel Kinnaman - Rick Flag
• David Dastmalchian - Polka-Dot Man
• Daniela Melchior - Ratcatcher II
• Steve Agee - King Shark (mo-cap)
• Sean Gunn - Weasel (mo-cap)
• Flula Borg - Javelin
• Nathan Fillion - TDK
• Peter Capaldi - The Thinker
• Pete Davidson - Blackguard
• Alice Braga - Solsoria
• Mayling Ng as Mongal
• Michael Rooker - Savant
• Storm Reid as Tyla (Bloodsport's daughter)
• Jennifer Holland as Emilia Harcourt
• Juan Diego Botto - Luna

The panel revealed that Bloodsport is in prison for shooting Superman with a kryptonite bullet, In the DC Comics, Bloodsport is a Superman foe and has been a few different people throughout the character's history. The character first appeared in Superman #2 in 1987 and was created by John Byrne and Karl Kesel. Elba’s costume certainly looks different from Bloodsport's comic book outfit. How about that mask! That menacing maw almost makes it look like a Xenomorph’s face. So what do you think of the lineup for The Suicide Squad? And who do you think will be the first one of them to buy it in the movie?
