Lost Star Joins SUICIDE SQUAD as Killer Croc, Plus The Latest Rumors
Remember Mr. Eko from LOST? Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, the actor who played the tortured priest on the hit sci-fi drama and who has appeared in films like G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, The Bourne Identity, Faster, and Thor: The Dark World, is heading from the Marvel Cinematic Universe over to the DCCU with his newest movie. According to The Wrap, he'll play Killer Croc in David Ayer's Suicide Squad.
Killer Croc is a Batman villain who was born with a disease that gave him reptilian traits, and he's a criminal with superhuman strength, agility, speed, stamina, and razor-sharp teeth. He's appeared in comics, Batman: The Animated Series, as well as video games like the Arkham series. He shares some physical similarities with King Shark, another character who was recently rumored to be a part of this film.
Actress Karen Fukuhara has reportedly been added to the cast as well, and while The Wrap wasn't sure who she'd be playing, El Mayimbe at Latino-Review has an idea about that:
"RT! #suicidesquad #skwad #RUMOR There is a minor female role on the actual Squad - #PLASTIQUE There is a scene with her set in a nightclub & the rumor is..."
Plus, he tells us when the movie will take place:
And to throw some more fuel on the Suicide Squad fire, we recently heard how Scott Eastwood was added to the cast but weren't sure as to what character he'd be playing. Now Latino-Review says that he'll be playing Steve Trevor, Wonder Woman's love interest, which means we'll likely be seeing a lot more of the younger Eastwood in the coming years.
What do you think about all of these updates?
