The filmmakers in the DC Extended Universe have access to every concept and character the comics have ever conceived, and now is the time to bring that treasure trove to life. Squad will introduce Amanda Waller, a character connected to many government agencies designed to track villains and heroes, and Belle Reve is a prison that provides her a fresh supply of Squad members. Just like Man of Steel was loaded with references, this movie can follow suit, and get fans excited for the future by giving nods to or showcasing characters they never thought theyd see on the big screen. If Suicide Squad pulls out an epic action sequence with Deathstroke, tearing his way through Squad members, hardcore fans will be awed and the general audience will be left asking, Who the hell was that and whens he coming back? The best way to get fans excited for the upcoming DC slate is by using this movies unique setting to show everyone just how deep they plan on going into the comic book universe. There are rumors that Jim Parrack is playing Deathstroke, and even Scott Eastwood possibly portraying a young, pre-assassin Slade Wilson. Nobody knows if these rumors are true, of if the character is even in the movie, but if he is, then fans are in for a treat. Ayer and his team need to use this opportunity to sow the seeds of other awesome DC characters, and use that as the type of memorable fan service that gets people excited for the future.
