The Suicide Squad Cast Reveal - Predicting EVERY Character

10. Peter Capaldi - Hugo Strange

Hugo Strange
DC Comics

While we don't know who he's playing for certain, yet, we do know one key thing about Peter Capaldi's character in The Suicide Squad: he's bald.

The former Doctor Who actor turned up at a fan convention with his newly shorn look and apparently told guests in attendance that he had to shave his head because of the use of prosthetics. Now, that could be true, which means we could be looking at someone like Doctor Light, but Capaldi releasing such key information also feels a little TOO convenient.

More likely is that he's simply playing a conventionally bald character, which has drawn rumours of him playing Multiple Man and The Thinker. Perhaps it's wishful thinking, but he's got a great look - and great screen presence - for someone like Hugo Strange rather than an active Squad member.

Having him overseeing the Arkham prisoners would be great and if it led into him being revealed as a villain in his own right, Capaldi would be more than capable of pulling it off.
