James Gunn teases John Cena’s ‘amazing’ character in The Suicide Squad
James Gunn teases John Cena’s Suicide Squad character, and it sounds amazing.
As many film enthusiasts know by now, James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad completed principal photography back in February of this year. It is the only picture that is part of the slate of DC Films with a release date not affected by the worldwide pandemic (because its release date is still quite far off).
WWE superstar-turned-actor John Cena joined the project in an announcement that had fans overwhelmed with excitement, and that excitement has surged for many reasons over the past year: One of them being down to the fact that we still don’t know who he’s playing.
A fan recently reached out on Twitter with possible suggestions as to who the professional wrestler should play and this prompted an enthusiastic response from Gunn himself.
Admittedly, some of these suggestions (the likes of Bane, KG Beast and Solomon Grundy) are fair choices, but Gunn could be going for an option fans would least expect. It wouldn’t be surprising if he opts for a largely obscure character that could ultimately be made famous by the film.
