Pete Davidson, Viola Davis, John Cena and more assembled for DC FanDome.
It's time to meet The Suicide Squad. Or reacquaint ourselves, in the case of Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn and Jai Courtney's Captain Boomerang -- who both appeared in 2016's Suicide Squad -- though there are plenty more new faces in director James Gunn's sort of sequel, sort of reboot.
During Saturday's DC FanDome, Gunn virtually assembled his squad -- which also includes Idris Elba, Viola Davis, John Cena, Joel Kinnaman, Alice Braga, Pete Davidson, Nathan Fillion, Flula Borg, Peter Capaldi, Daniela Melchior, David Dastmalchian, Steve Agee, Mayling Ng, Sean Gunn and Michael Rooker -- to run down their roster and debut our first look at the movie.
"The Suicide Squad is by far the most fun I've ever had making a movie," Gunn said, revealing he was most excited to write for Harley Quinn but noting he wanted to include "great DC villains," whether they had actually been part of Task Force X in the comics or not.
As for who everyone is playing: We know the returning players -- like Davis' Amanda Waller and Kinnaman's Rick Flag, who return alongside Harley and Boomerang -- while it was revealed that Elba will portray the mercenary Bloodsport.
Gunn revealed the rest of his ensemble via a Task Force X roll call.
