10 Characters Who Will Probably Die In 2016's Biggest Movies
7. Rick Flag - Suicide Squad
There's a good chance that a whole bunch of unsavoury characters are going to meet their end in next year's "Dirty Dozen with supervillains" flick. It's called Suicide Squad, after all. But if we had to take a guess at one character who almost certainly looks set to go the way of the dodo during the events of the movie, it's Rick Flag. In the comic lore, Flag is the sometimes leader of the Suicide Squad - though Deadshot seems to have assumed that role, given that he's played by Will Smith and Flag is played by Joel Kinnaman, a relative unknown. Which already means that the character is more dispensable than he usually would be in the context of this story. That, coupled with leaked images that show Flag's faithful bodyguard and fellow squad member, Katana, crying over a corpse, and there seems to be a substantial amount of evidence pointing to Flag's demise. What else, other than the death of the only thing that she actually cares about, could cause the emotionless Katana to break down in tears?
