10. Bobcat Goldthwaite - The Mad Hatter

An odd name to throw into the ring out of nowhere though he might be, Bobcat Goldthwaite has played a part in the James Gunn Disney saga, and it may be the case that the director would want to recognise that support.

Goldthwaite was among the first famous names to throw their support behind Gunn in the wake of his firing, suggesting that he too should be removed from his Disney job (he voices a character in Hercules that is reused in Disney World) in case Disney appeared hypocritical.

And there's a pretty good character for him to play too. Given the requirements of his famous voice, you'd need a very specific match and someone who perhaps wouldn't be on screen too much. So why not cast him as The Mad Hatter and have him as a Hannibal Lecter style character who enables the Squad to find their target or complete their mission in some way?
