Well:

“At the moment I can’t tell you, not because I don’t want to tell you, but because I’m not allowed to tell you. But, I’m gonna be completely bald. They started it because they had to do some prosthetics. So they had to take my hair back to… and I said could you leave a little bit because I’m going to Toronto and I want to look good for the people there! So they left a little bit, and we did some head casts and stuff. And then I came here. But when I go home, it’s gonna go again, all the way. Curb your enthusiasm is what I would say, it’ll be what it’ll be.”

For a guy Disney tried to blacklist, there sure are plenty of decent actors lining up to work with Gunn.

Pretty good cast list. I’m curious who Cena is playing. Also cool to see Fillion listed.

It appears that Nathan Fillion’s role in James Gunn’s ‘The Suicide Squad’ is that of Arm-Fall-Off-Boy. Arm-Fall-Off-Boy appeared in 1989’s ‘Secret Origins’ Vol. 2 #46 and was depicted as the first applicant to join the Legion of Superheroes in the 30th Century. He was also their first rejection.

Murphy also revealed that Sean Gunn will portray Weasel. Weasel is a minor Firestorm villain who was killed by Rick Flag during a Suicide Squad mission.

Michael Rooker is portraying Savant. Savant was a mentally-disturbed genius who started off as a would-be vigilante but ran afoul of the Birds of Prey. In the New 52, he was meant to join the Suicide Squad, but during the torturous initiation, he cracked and was seemingly executed.

Pete Davidson will portray Blackguard. Blackguard is a Booster Gold villain, who– yep– joined the Suicide Squad and was decapitated during a mission.

Flula Borg is portraying Javelin. Javelin was a Green Lantern enemy, who was killed THREE times in association with the Suicide Squad. First, as a member during the ‘War of the Gods’ crossover, he was impaled by one of his own javelins by the sorceress Circe. Then he somehow turned up alive again, attempting to kill SS member Deadshot, who caused one of his exploding javelins to blow up and kill Javelin AGAIN! Then he turned up alive AGAIN, and during a mission with the Squad, the group was betrayed by the Tattooed Man, and Javelin was hit by a car, killing him for the third time. (He somehow turned up alive again in the ‘Justice League: Cry for Justice’ miniseries, but he didn’t die that time.)

Finally, Mayling Ng is playing Mongal. Alien powerhouse Mongal is the only character so far that has no connection to the Suicide Squad in the comics. She is the sister of the cosmic conqueror Mongul and was a minor Superman villain until her own brother decapitated her.

Assume Fillion will be killed off immediately due to his other job. Will be fun to see a bunch of fodder for during the beginning of the movie.

Fillion is shooting The Rookie until next Spring in Los Angeles. There's no way his character will be very significant in this movie.

I'm assuming everyone in those pics is the B-team and will be killed off, yes including Jai Courtney's Boomerang.

I’m really digging the old school costumes. Even if they are just cannon fodder.

So they can accurately portray Mongal, who basically looks like a jacked Koriand'r/Starfire. But can't do the same in Titans?

And I'm not saying replace Anna Diop, I'm saying make her orange!

Not sure I'd want to film in a working prison wearing an orange jumpsuit.
