9 Video Game Characters Who Would Make An Awesome Suicide Squad
3. Killer Croc - Kratos (God Of War)
Killer Croc didn’t cause all that much controversy among fans of the movie, especially compared to the Joker, Enchantress or the divisive Harley Quinn. He was even responsible for their Academy Award win for Hair & Make Up, but when you consider what he could have been, Killer Croc’s character epitomises Suicide Squad’s wasted potential.
This guy is a beast, literally and metaphorically. Actor and human triple word score Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje described him as ‘a cannibal with rage issues’. Disappointingly, we never really got to see that rage used effectively.
The might of Kratos would surely not see his potential wasted again. Kratos’ brutal hack and slash style is exactly what we need to see from Killer Croc. Warner Brothers obviously paid a lot of money to have Will Smith and Margot Robbie star, but the focus on them became a little much during fight sequences.
Giving Croc a tender and nuanced story would be a hell of a task (although Sony managed this mammoth feat in the new God Of War), but he still needs some spotlight. Letting him loose to just absolutely destroy everything in his path next time around could make for wonderful cinema.
