The Suicide Squad Cast Reveal - Predicting EVERY Character

9. Viola Davis - Amanda Waller

Viola Davis was perfectly cast as Amanda Waller in the first Suicide Squad film, and given the character's synonymy with the group, it makes sense as to why she's coming back.

Although it'll be slightly disappointing to not see her bounce off of Ben Affleck's Batman in the sequel, as was teased at the end of the first film, Waller is still compelling on her own. Expect her to still be just as ruthless as before, but hopefully a little smarter in how she uses the Squad this time around.

One of the strangest things about the first film was how it assembled this off the books, deeply unethical group to get up to missions the public can't know about. They're then sent off to fight a giant supervillain sky portal, whereas in the comics, the team were used far more frequently as a typical black ops unit, infiltrating different countries and getting up to some genuinely immoral wetwork.

Should Waller deploy them properly this time around, expect further tension.
