'Suicide Squad' First Cast Photo Teases Addition Of Hugo Strange And Ravan

The first cast photo released online for “Suicide Squad” teases the inclusion of Hugo Strange and Ravan into the film’s already long list of characters. A couple of new actors were seen on the photo and according to a report they could be playing any of these two DC characters.

David Ayer has been sharing production update on “Suicide Squad” on his Twitter page. Recently the movie director shared a photo of the casts and captioned it, “Cast read through today! #SuicideSquad.” There are two new faces in the photo that of Adam Beach and Ike Barinholtz. Their nvolvement in “Suicide Squad” has been unheard of before. Now that their casting in the film has been officially confirmed, the question now is which role they are going to play in the film.

According to “Suicide Squad” scoopster Umberto Gonzalez, Ike Barinholtz could be playing as Dr Hugo Strange. The character will reportedly have scenes with Harley Quinn inside the Belle Reeve prison where The Joker is being held as an inmate by Amanda Waller. Strange is believed to be the in-house psychiatrist at the prison complex.

Gonzalez further revealed on his Instagram page that newcomer Adam Beach may likely be playing as the martial artist villain Ravan in “Suicide Squad.” However, it’s still uncertain whether the actor will be part of the team, considering Ravan in the comics is among the first members of the Suicide Squad from the 1980s.

Joe Manganiello is reportedly out as Deathstroke since that role has now gone to Jim Parrack. “Suicide Squad” has supposedly decided to go for a younger version of the character. According to Cinema Blend, Parrack was first rumoured for the role back in January but since then everyone thought Manganiello had landed the part.

The other confirmed casts for “Suicide Squad” could also be seen in the photo. These include Will Smith (Deadshot), Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn), Viola Davis (Amanda Waller), Joel Kinnaman (Rick Flag), Adawale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Killer Croc), Karen Fukuhara (rumoured to be Plastique), Jai Courtney (Captain Boomerang), Cara Delevingne (Enchantress), Jay Hernandez (rumoured to be El Diablo) and at the left corner is David Ayer himself. Missing in the photo is Jared Leto (The Joker), Scott Eastwood (rumoured to be Steve Trevor) and Raymond Olubowale (said to be playing King Shark).
