The Suicide Squad Cast Reveal - Predicting EVERY Character

12. Taika Waititi - Copperhead

There are so many roles Taika Waititi could perform in The Suicide Squad, but how best do you deploy the actor/director in a film already chockfull of frankly bizarre figures? The answer is simple - make him Copperhead.

Waititi could probably turn even the most forgettable Squad member into a hilarious foil for the others to play off against, but could anyone honestly pass up the opportunity to see him dressed up in the original Copperhead's snake suit, venomous fangs and all?

Copperhead has gone through a whole host of changes in the comics, even being reimagined as an actual man-snake hybrid in the New 52, but there's just something about seeing a man dress up in a frankly ridiculous reptilian get-up that's so much more appealing. Factor in Waititi's dry sense of wit, and you're left with a character so absurd that the thought of them not being in The Suicide Squad is somehow even more ridiculous.
