The Suicide Squad Cast Reveal - Predicting EVERY Character
8. Tinashe Kajese - Vixen
DC Comics
We might have already seen TWO versions of Vixen in the Arrowverse, but there's no way that will impact the possibility of us seeing her in James Gunn's Squad line-up.
Vixen's association with the Suicide Squad in the comics makes her one of the more complex characters here because she actually volunteers to work with them after her superpowers - being able to mimick animals - leads to her losing control to her animal side. And her skillset of being able to draw on the abilities of ANY animal that has ever lived on the planet is beautifully cinematic.
She was also born in Zambesi, a country in the comics modelled on Zimbabwe, which is where Tinashe Kajese - who is mostly known for bit parts in TV shows like Valor and The Inspectors - was born. Perhaps don't expect her to be a major character, but the casting certainly fits.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and the Golden Age of Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled.
