Suicide Squad 2: Every Confirmed (And Rumoured) Character So Far
2. Taika Waititi As Copperhead (Rumoured)
Though there are so many to get excited about, of all the cast members making their Suicide Squad debuts in 2021, the inclusion of Taika Waititi may well be the biggest and best of them all. Is there anyone in Hollywood more popular than the New Zealander right now?
After rising to ridiculous levels of popularity thanks to his work on Thor: Ragnarok, Jojo Rabbit, and The Mandalorian, Waititi is currently one of the hottest properties on the market. Though typically famed more for his work behind the camera, his depictions of Korg and Adolf Hitler on screen are just as brilliant as his directing work.
Rumours as to who Waititi will actually be playing are few and far between right now, but it really could be anyone. He has experience bringing a hulking beast to life, so could we see a Korg-esque version of King Shark or Parasite? It's unlikely, but not impossible.
One name that has been mentioned that we can't ignore however, is Copperhead. Who wouldn't love to see Taika Waititi running around dressed like a giant snake? It's just the kind of bizarre, off the wall character that he could make work.
