Suicide Squad 2: Every Confirmed (And Rumoured) Character So Far
20. Pete Davidson As Savant (Rumoured)
One of the names that certainly stood out in James Gunn's cast announcement was Pete Davidson. Alongside the likes of Idris Elba, Taika Waititi, and Viola Davies, the SNL alum doesn't really fit. Though he is incredibly good at what he does, acting in a blockbuster movie on this scale is not something he is used to.
It would make sense for Davidson to be bringing comic relief to the movie, in a similar way to Flula Borg, and though the leaked set photos certainly don't confirm anything, his costume brings to mind one particular character that fans have latched on to.
Savant is a rich vigilante, and while this may seem reminiscent of one of DC's biggest names, Savant's selfishness and lack of real empathy kill any comparisons to Batman dead. The blonde hair and tactical gear Davidson has been seen sporting on set suggest this particular character, but he may well be one of the expendable characters who doesn't see the end of the movie.
