James Gunn Shares First Weasel Screen Test For THE SUICIDE SQUAD
The Suicide Squad director James Gunn has shared a video for our viewing enjoyment featuring the first screen test for the character Weasel in the film. Weasel was played by Sean Gunn, and in the video you can see him wearing his motion capture outfit and bringing the character to life. Weasel was definitely a bizarre, fun, interesting, and delightful character.
When talking about playing Weasel, Gunn said in a previous interview:
"It was interesting because the work I've done as Rocket Raccoon is much different, it's motion reference and it's a different sort of process by which they put the character together. But for Weasel, I'm just doing the real mo-cap where I have on the balls and lights and colors and they were really capturing everything I did, which was awesome."
"As the Weasel, I think I got a lot of love for the character, and I hope that audiences do too. I'm going to let you decide where Weasel falls on that [gross] spectrum," Gunn added. "That's all my brother, but yeah, no, this is not a man in a Weasel outfit. This is an anthropomorphic Weasel. You gotta see it, it's not even like a hybrid. He's pretty much just a huge weasel in a little bit of a man's body."
