James Gunn’sThe Suicide Squadhas the luck to be DC’sGuardians of the Galaxy . With Gunn at the helm and no obligation to have the swooning tone of Marvel , we can get the good of both worlds : comic Word reference who have fun banterand get into wacky action sequences and finally really hit us in the feels , but with a dark tone .

Since Gunn often casts actors he ’s worked with before in his film , we ’ll likely be seeing a couple of intimate faces from theGuardiansfranchise come out up in his continuation / reboot ofSuicide Squad . So , here are 5Guardians Of The GalaxyActors We Want To See In James Gunn’sThe Suicide Squad(And 5 We Do n’t ) .

Don’t want to see: Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus seem in a small , yet polar voice theatrical role inGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 2as one of the member of the original team . Hopefully , we ’ll be seeing more of that line - up in the MCU ’s future tense . There ’s one role from theSuicide Squadcomics that she would probably fiddle utterly and that ’s Harley Quinn .

Unfortunately , Margot Robbie is already wager her perfectly . Cyrus would easy be able to matchher manic energy and in darkness comic bound , but her performance inThe Suicide Squadwould collide with Robbie ’s and it would finally be too much of a dear thing .

Want to see: Michael Rooker

The whole point ofThe Suicide Squadis to call on the villains into the hero sandwich . The team was create when the U.S. governance decided tolet a bunch of supervillains out of Arkham Asylumto fight a fight against an even bigger threat – a common enemy – in exchange for lucrative sentencing hatful . Michael Rooker has always done a terrific jobof playing the unfit guy wire who is afterward redeem .

That was Merle ’s arc onThe walk Deadand it was one of the most emotional spark in the show ’s history , while the tarradiddle of Yondu in Gunn ’s ownGuardians of the Galaxymovies also utterly exemplifies this .

Don’t want to see: Benicio del Toro

In serious flick likeTrafficandSicario , Benicio del Toro is a fantastic doer . He ’s one of the all - meter greats , gravely delivering his tune with the gravity they deserve . However , when he ’s put in a big - budget space moving-picture show likeGuardians of the GalaxyorStar Wars : The Last Jedi , he hasa tendency to breastfeed all the sport out of them .

Even all his wacky attire - up in the MCU could n’t make the Collector fit in with the goofy tone of the flick . Those are n’t the form of picture he belong in . There have been hearsay that he ’ll appear inThe Suicide Squad , but this would be a misunderstanding .

Want to see: Sean Gunn

It would n’t really feel like a James Gunn flick if his brother Sean Gunn was n’t somewhere in the cast of characters . In theGuardians of the Galaxymovies , he represent Kraglin , the guy who led the mutiny against Yondu and finally ended up leaving the Ravagers with him andgiving Peter Quill a Zune .

InThe Suicide Squad , he could act an every bit minor and supportive role – it does n’t have to be a major one – because as long as his familiar face is in there andhe has something resembling a story arcover the row of the plot , diehard James Gunn fans will be quenched .

Don’t want to see: Kurt Russell

As with child as Kurt Russell is , the sense of nostalgia one of his performances evokes is better suited to the tone of Marvel , wherethere ’s always a semifinal - wink to the audiencein any character moment , than the tone of DC . He was the gross choice to make for Ego , because he was supposed to be an old , grizzled god .

In the ‘ 80s , then - activity picture palace icon Kurt Russellwould’ve been top of the dream casting list for aSuicide Squadmovie . But these days , his talent would be best used for a lineament like Jonathan Kent than a character like Snake Plissken .

Want to see: Zoe Saldana

There was a dearth of distaff character in the firstSuicide Squadmovie . We had Margot Robbie ’s Harley Quinn , which many fans and critic mean to bethe only good thing in the movie , and we had Cara Delevingne ’s Enchantress , a villain whose motivations were as   ill-defined as her CGI - ification .

bring in Zoe Saldana to playa Gamora - esque badassfrom the DC Comics world would be a great agency to repair this , as well as a great way to reteam Saldana with Gunn , sinceher future in the MCU is unclearand we ’ve got a long time lag until we bump out where she stand .

Don’t want to see: John C. Reilly

On a act of occasions , indie favorite John C. Reilly has been underutilized in fully grown - budget blockbusters . The director of these picture show will have seen Reilly in a Paul Thomas Anderson movie and seen how great he was and attempt to fetch him in front of a mainstream audience in something likeGuardians of the GalaxyorKong : Skull Islandand give him a support part .

It ’s not the best consumption of Reilly ’s endowment . Reilly ’s time is better spend on absurdist cult comedies likeStep Brothersand heartfelt Oscar - baiting screen joy likeStan & Olliethan on a courtesy supporting role in a grown - budget blockbuster .

Want to see: Dave Bautista

Out of the entireGuardianscast , Dave Bautista was by farthe most frank in defense of James Gunnduring his hiring / fire / rehiring debacle . Bautista was the only one who go as far asthreatening to exit his contract with Marveland block appear in the movies if Gunn was n’t rehired and he rejoiced the most when he was .

So , first , Bautista would clearlyrelish any chance to work with Gunn again . second , he has some bad blood towards Marvel . And thirdly , he ’s one of the most lovable and charismatic ace work in mainstream Hollywood today , follow in the footsteps of Dwayne “ the Rock ” Johnson . DC should catch this star while he ’s on the rise and on uneasy term with their rivals .

Don’t want to see: Chris Pratt

Chris Pratt made the jump from sitcom twat to Hollywood lead human race with the firstGuardiansmovie . He carries those movies , he carries the squad , and he owes the stratospheric hike of his vocation to Marvel . That ’s why he ca n’t appear inThe Suicide Squad . It would be too distracting to haveone of the MCU ’s Chrisesin a DCEU movie .

With Gunn ’s directorial fashion and the comic book field matter , it would be impossible to see him as anyone other than Peter Quill . It would look like Quill stumbled into the wrong flick and the whole thing would dilapidate .

Want to see: Bradley Cooper

The firstSuicide Squadmovie had a Hollywood A - lister plow in the form of Will Smith to carry it . Margot Robbie may have stolen the movie , but Smith gave it validation as a blockbuster . But now thathe ’s out and Idris Elba ’s in , we ’re missing our A - lister plow . Elba is a vast wizard , but he ’s never sway a whole blockbuster before .

Bradley Cooper would be the sodding fit . He can mix the sly amusing humour with a more earnest humans perfectly and he does that in theGuardiansmovies without even designate his face . Seeing him inThe Suicide Squadwouldn’t distract , because we ’re not used to watch him in a comic book motion-picture show – we ’re just used tohearing his voice with a profound Brooklyn emphasis play a CGI racoon .
