Suicide Squad 2: 12 Perfect Villains (And Who Should Play Them)

6. Ricky Whittle As Bronze Tiger

DC & Starz

Bronze Tiger is one of the Suicide Squad's most prolific members, and as a result he surely must've been a consideration for the first film, making it much more likely he'll actually appear the second time around.

Though he's not a metahuman, Tiger does possess seemingly preternatural martial arts skills, even defeating Batman in combat, and is also one of the more benevolent members of the Suicide Squad. A quintessential anti-hero, then.

In fairness, Michael Jai White has done a fantastic job as the character on Arrow, so it's a shame that he can't just be squarely ported over to the DCEU, as it'll cause too much confusion among fans. But what about American Gods' Ricky Whittle?

He's proven himself to be quite the ferocious entity in Starz's hit fantasy show, and though he's not a household name yet, Warner Bros. can get the on-the-rise actor while he's still relatively cheap.
