In the film, the unlikely Task Force X group, led by Colonel Rick Flag, will have to infiltrate the island of Corto Maltese in Latin America to destroy a sort of Nazi prison. The site is experimenting with political prisoners, making them the world’s first metahumans. To do this, they must go through the dictator president Silvio Luna and his army, led by Mateo Suarez.

Task Force Chief Col. Rick Flagg (Joel Kinnaman) returns from the first film with Harlequin, Captain Boomerang and Amanda Waller. Chief of special operations of the army, it is he who commands the mission of this very heterogeneous team.

Idris Elba is Bloodsport / Bloodthirsty

Bloodsport is a code name that has been used by more than one of the villains in the DC Comics universe, all enemies of Superman. The most famous is Robert DuBoius, the character of Idris Elba in the film.

In the comics, DuBois flees the draw to fight in the Vietnam War, but is obsessed with discovering that his brother has been sent in his place. Morally averse to combat and in poor sanity, he ends up being hired by Lex Luthor to kill the Man of Steel with a kryptonite bullet. Hence not only the enmity but also the reason for his arrest in Belle Reve.

Among the weapons it manages to produce are explosives, lethal blades, and even rescue vehicles. In the comics, he’s a tertiary Batman villain first, and the oddity of his powers is his biggest characteristic.

In the comics, the character Ratcatcher, or Mouse Hunt, is the supervillain Otis Flannegan, Batman’s foe who has the ability to attract and control voles to torture and control his prisoners.

In the film, however, Ratcatcher 2 (Daniela Melchior) will be a protégé of Otis Flannegan, trained by him from childhood to take on the role if captured.

When Batman tries to convince him not to step into this life, because he doesn’t care as much as he should about protecting others, Durlin decides to invest in a financial blackmail business. Using the identity of the Sage, he hunts for clues of criminals using technology and eliminates them without sparing violence.

In the DC Comics comics, John Monroe (Sean Gunn) was a lonely, bitter, and resentful college professor. This is because as a student he was the butt of jokes from his colleagues, who nicknamed him “weasel”, which left him very traumatized. When he realizes that his former colleagues are in high professional positions where he is educated, he goes in search of revenge, and decides to wear a weasel costume, with sharp claws, hair and all.

Despite little concrete information about Alice Braga’s character, it is assumed that she is a version of Juan Soria, a criminal who is part of the Suicide Squad in the comics.

Nathan Fillion’s character doesn’t have an exact equivalent in the comics. He is an original creation by James Gunn, but takes inspiration from the character Arm-Fall-Off-Boy, who made a rare appearance on the pages in 1989.

Richard “Dick” Hertz (Pete Davidson) is a common criminal who was recruited and trained by Team 1000, who gave him his energy and combat powers. He was then recruited by Amanda Waller and joined the Suicide Squad.

Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) is the director of ARGUS, a government organization tasked with managing tasks involving threats caused by overpowered humans. Relentless and very determined, she is responsible for Task Force X, which she herself recruited to manage missions too dangerous for anyone.

The big reveal of the “The Suicide Squad” trailer is Starro, the Star Conqueror. The Justice League’s first enemy, he is an alien in the form of a gigantic starfish with one eye in the center of his body. The entity scours the universe in search of a planet to rule over, and that seems like the main threat our unlikely heroes will face in the film.

Although the material does not reveal many details about its origin, it is possible that in this version it is the result of one of Silvio Luna’s experiences in Corto Maltese, and the real reason why the mission of the fight was entrusted to the Force. -Task X.
