Suicide Squad 2: Casting James Gunn's DCEU Sequel

5. Michael Rooker - Clayface

Michael Rooker is one of James Gunn's favourites, so it makes sense that he might be in line for a return to familiar working conditions. He was also one of the best parts of Guardians Vol 2, so seeing him working with Gunn again would definitely be a good thing.

So who could he play? Well, Clayface has quickly emerged as a fan favourite to be added to the Squad in the sequel and there's definitely something about Rooker's gruff demeanour and that voice that would work for the most complex character to bring to life.

Ideally, Rooker would combine mo-cap for the clay version of the character with a more human form because robbing him of the chance to emote would be wrong, since it would take away the human element of Clayface that would be so important - and was so important for his performance as Yondu.

Even if it's not Clayface, you have to suspect there's going to be some sort of role for him.
