The Suicide Squad Cast Reveal - Predicting EVERY Character

8. Tinashe Kajese - Vixen

Vixen DC Rebirth
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.
