The Suicide Squad Cast Reveal - Predicting EVERY Character
3. Juan Diego Botto - Peacemaker
DC Comics
It's tempting to suggest that Argentinian actor Juan Diego Botto could be playing a character that he somewhat resembles, since his profile isn't that well known outside of Spanish language film and TV, but there is a possibility here that fits one of his most well-known English-speaking roles.
In 2016, he starred in Good Behaviour, in which he played Javier a charming hitman, so he has previous with slightly darker material. Putting that together with the casting rumours that came out around the time of John Cena's casting and it could be that he's the one playing Peacemaker.
He's an interesting character, in that he is so committed to the idea of peace that he's willing to break the law and kill to preserve it and you can definitely see someone like Botto playing him as an enigmatic, darkly charming type rather than just a bruising jock.
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.
