Varietyis reporting that Cena is in negotiation to run an unrevealed role in James Gunn’sThe Suicide Squad . He would be the 2nd raw cast phallus to join , after Idris Elba previously link the project . This report card further affirm that Margot Robbie will return as Harley Quinn , as willJai Courtney as Captain Boomerang . UPDATE : Variety ’s Justin Kroll portion out onTwitterthat Cena ’s role is the same one in the beginning intended for Bautista ( who passed due to programming ) and that it is believed to be Peacemaker .
This is not the first time that Gunn has institute a former WWE star aboard one of his superhero projects , as he notably devote Dave Bautista his breakout role as Drax inGuardians of the Galaxy . Bautista has used the popularity of that character to become one of the fussy actor in Hollywood , and if everything goes well , this unknown role inThe Suicide Squadcould be another launching point for Cena ’s acting career . Bautista and Cena could even share the screen here , as Bautista was antecedently report to be in line to make an appearing of his own .
Even though this report does not add up any details on his persona , a antecedently revealedSuicide Squad team lineupdoes at least give us a few realistic choice . The one that may suit Cena the most is Peacemaker , but that is also the role thatBautista was bruit to be playing . Since that is not yet confirmed , Cena fits the same mold and is now reportedly in talks to link , while Bautista has most recentlyjoined Zack Snyder ’s new movieand could make it unmanageable for him to also seem here . If it is n’t Peacemaker , Cena could also potentially play King Shark . This role could expect less from Cena if the giant shark is made with CGI , but Cena may also have the necessary flesh to adjudicate and do the character practically .
That all say , there is also the fortune that Cena is playing a character who previously was not tell to be in the movie . Gunn is still rewrite the script and is still pretend big changes , likemaking Elba roleplay a new characterinstead of take over as Deadshot . disregardless of who he ends up playing , Cena ’s comedic and action ability make him a great tantrum for Gunn ’s usual expressive style and givesThe Suicide Squadanother placeable name to increase interest group .
