The Suicide Squad Cast Reveal - Predicting EVERY Character

22. Idris Elba - Bronze Tiger

Idris Elba was obviously initially linked with playing Deadshot when Will Smith had to drop out of the “sequel” over scheduling issues, but that was quickly debunked and it was revealed he’d be playing a brand new character.

Elba’s profile and his range means he could play any number of Squad-leading figures, but the most compelling rumour so far is that he’s playing Bronze Tiger. Otherwise known as Ben Turner, in the comics, he was one of the first recruits to Task Force X and it makes sense that he’d be introduced here, even with him appearing in Arrow already.

If anything, the reception to him there makes him MORE likely to be involved.
