It looks like GOTG director James Gunn's revamped Task Force X team has gained a formidable new member, as John Cena is in negotiations to join the cast of the upcoming Suicide Squad sequel.

Variety shared the news, but they don't have any details on the the role Cena would fill. Obviously, he'd be best suited to a character with the power of invisibility, but we'll just have to wait and see what Gunn has in store for him. 

The WWE Superstar turned actor will join returning cast members Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn), Jai Courtney (Boomerang) and Viola Davis (Amanda Waller). Idris Elba is also on board, but his character remains a mystery.

The Suicide Squad is set to hit theaters on August 6, 2021.

UPDATE: It looks like Cena might be playing Peacemaker.

I don't know who he'd play in Suicide Squad, but I wouldn't mind seeing him as The Thing or Wonder Man in the MCU

He seems like a really nice guy, but he's not a good actor by any means.

I imagine him being apart of the military group that leads Task Force X, similar to Rick flagg
