Suicide Squad 2: Casting James Gunn's DCEU Sequel

7. Karen Fukuhara - Katana

Let's be perfectly honest here, Karen Fukuhara's Katana wouldn't have been the most devastating omission from a Suicide Squad sequel. No matter how cool the character was as an idea, that's pretty much all she was: an under-nourished concept with a bad-ass sword and backstory that we didn't even get to see. Leaving her out would have caused precious few ripples.

But Katana fits the mold of James Gunn's powerful female characters - or at least the idea of her and the source material behind her fits him - and she deserves a chance to actually deliver on her promise. In Gunn's hands, that could lead to something great.

We don't necessarily need to see her backstory, but having her wrestling more with her demons (as most of Gunn's Guardians did) and use them is one of the most interesting prospects for a Suicide Squad sequel.
