Common joins Suicide Squad. Who is he going to play?

[Micromind]

Maybe he is Black Lightening ?

 

[Zordan]

Please let it be Martin Manhunter. I believe El Mayimbe said there is a character in the film that will shock us and I hope Martain Manhunter is it.

I would absolutely love it if MM was in this, however I am not convinced Common would do the character justice.

"Shock" ...you could be onto something there

 

[NoLaNitE007]

If he's a member of the squad:

Black Manta
Black Spider
Bronze Tiger

Agreed. He will be one of these or he can also be introduced as John Stewart.

If he is Stewart...perhaps he will have some kind of connection or previous friendship with Rick Flag with there Military ties?

Common, Eastwood, and Parrack are all playing MM

Holy ****, so it's an invasion movie!

Well, he is a shape-shifter....

JoBlo's editor-in-chief says Common might be playing Black Manta, but stresses the legitimacy of the scoop might be questionable.

Twitter grain-of-salt scoop per my source: Common may be playing Black Manta. #SuicideSquad

Hope it's true. Black Manta FTW!

 

[BravoNolanILuvU]

He's playing the guy doing Joker's ink

 

[Lencho01]

Manta? Hmm...

Win. The local tattooist.

Hope this is wrong. I'd like to see Black Manta but not played by Common. Common is awful, hopefully it's a very small role.

 

[Pickleweasel]

Think you could do better than Common for someone as big as Black Manta

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

I can see him as Broze Tiger or Black Spider... Manta? I don't know... I am not down on him as an actor like some but for Manta I think you need a stronger name to sell it to the audience.

If Common is playing Bronze Tiger, I hope they give him the costume from the John Ostrander run or the tiger head. Instead of the wolverine claws from Arrow.

 

[m4st4]

John Stewart? Bronze Tiger? Random thug #5?

My money is on Arkham Guard #3.

This.

 

[The Guard]

Do we have any reason to believe Common has martial arts skills that would lend themselves to Bronze Tiger?

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

What "martial arts skill" did Keanu have before the Matrix, or any of that cast? What martial arts skill did Christian Bale have?

 

[Sawyer]

Honestly, though, not seeing him with that particular group of characters in the cast photo is making me think he's not Bronze Tiger.

I'm kind into the idea of him being Martian Manhunter.
