Thought working at Jurassic World was the worst movie-job going? Think again. Thanks to the fine chaps at Screenrant we now know who Jim Parrack will play in Suicide Squad; Jokers bodyguard Jonny Frost. Let that sink in for a moment. Jokers bodyguard. As in The Joker. You know, pencil wielding wacko who just wants to watch the world burn? Jeez. Hope it comes with dental. The scoop comes courtesy of co-star Corina Calderon, who tweeted:
All #HappyCamper on my way to set again, going earlier than my #CallTime just to be there and watch my boy Jim Parrack playing #JonnyFrost do his Thang #SuicideSquad.
Calderons own part is largely unknown (although we know shes called Grace) but the actress has erased any doubts over Parracks contribution. The tweet has since been deleted, but as Josh Trank can attest, the internets printed in ink not pencil. I cant pretend to be an expert on the Frost character, but I do know he plays a sizeable role in the well-received 2008 graphic-novel Joker. The source shares creative DNA with Suicide Squads director David Ayer, namely a penchant for grime, nastiness and dark humour, so maybe this gives us a little extra insight into what we should expect tonally from the film. The Frost character certainly sounds like hes going to have his work cut out for him, and itll be interesting to see what motivates him to protect Joker. Is it a product of dramatic necessity or is he just wacky enough to want to hang around a sociopathic, bloodthirsty clown? Parrack will have to be on badass form either way. You can oversee the (likely short-lived) career of Jonny Frost next August in Suicide Squad.
