Suicide Squad’s Joel Kinnaman Joins House Of Cards For Season 4

Will The Killing star finally undermine Frank Underwood?

Suicide Squad€™s Joel Kinnaman has been recruited for series four of House of Cards, in a role that has been unspecified. Kinnaman has joined Neve Campbell and Colm Feore as new cast members in the political drama, as they enter their final series with writer Beau Willimon. The Netflix Original has been a big hit since its debut in 2013, scoring ratings of 9/10 on IMDB, and 83% of RottenTomatoes, leading to Netflix ordering a fifth season to follow the next release in March. We will rejoin US President Frank Underwood, presumably without wife Claire by his side, in what is looking like being the most gripping series to date. It is believed that Campbell would be playing half of a couple who are set on challenging Frank and Claire for Office, leading to speculation that Kinnaman will play the other half. The Swedish-American actor is scheduled to play military officer Rick Flagg in the eagerly anticipated Suicide Squad, a role which Tom Hardy was offered, but refused due to an overlap in shooting with The Revenant. He has also been involved in the 2014 remake of RoboCop, Child 44, and the Netflix series The Killing.
