The Suicide Squad Cast Reveal - Predicting EVERY Character

15. Daniela Melchior - Ratcatcher

Ratcatcher Batman
DC Comics

While Ratcatcher is male in the comics, the initial casting reports that announced that Portuguese actor Daniela Melchior would be joining the movie's cast also suggested that she'd be playing a gender-swapped version of the somewhat notorious Batman villain.

Melchior is mostly unknown in Hollywood, Melchior comes from a background in Portuguese television and this would be her first major role. Considering WHO she's likely playing, it also makes sense that she might be one of the more expendable members of the first team.

Quite how anyone whose powers pretty much begin and end with the ability to control rats could be considered a major player in Task Force X is anyone's guess, but this is James Gunn's world and we just live in it. Presumably, someone important is going to have a phobia of rats or something?
