12 Movie Spoilers We Didn’t Know Last Week (24th Jan)

11. The Tattooed Man Is The Big Bad In Suicide Squad

Though the exceptional first trailer for Suicide Squad did a very good job of retaining some mystery (something "big brother" Batman V Superman's marketing campaign could have benefited from), eagle-eyed fans (myself included OBVIOUSLY) have put 2 and 2 together and got the Tattooed Man. The shadowy figure seen in the trailer attacking a subway train with giant green spectral vines could only be Common's mysterious villain, who commands the power to turn his tattoos to life. Luckily, he has useful things like weapons, snakes and vines tattooed all over him and not crudely drawn penises or his ex-girlfriend's names. It's a fairly big revelation, given the assumption that Enchantress was the big bad, but it makes sense that there would be a secondary villain to amplify the threat. And he's a good choice, even if he comes out of left-field. Even more shockingly, it seems Jai Courtney might actually be brilliant in it.
