Now that Joel Kinnaman has replaced Tom Hardy as Suicide Squad's Rick Flagg, the cast continues to fill out. The latest addition according to The Wrap is Jay Hernandez, an actor best known for roles in movies like Crazy/Beautiful, World Trade Center, and Gang Related. He's only in negotiations as of right now, and there are no specific details on who the Latin actor will be playing in the movie.

However, the site reveals that, "it’s possible that he could be playing an inmate on the same cell block as The Joker, though there are several other open roles at this time." It sounds like it might be a character from the comic books then, but there's no word on who exactly that will be.
The rest of the Suicide Squad cast includes Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto, Jai Courtney, Cara Delevigne and likely Viola Davis and Jesse Eisenberg too. The movie will be released on August 5th.

Firefly? Considering Ayer's tease this morning I wouldn't be surprised if he was part of or involved with the #SKWAD

Oh, and is this guy a good actor? I've never seen his work before.

I thought El Diablo at first but I doubt he'll be a super-powered character so my money's on Black Spider.

JoeMomma29 - 2/18/2015, 5:40 PM
Firefly would be a good choice!

Has Kinnaman been in anything other than Robocop?

JoeMomma29 - 2/18/2015, 5:41 PM

@DanielSipprelle

I think you might be on to something. He was a fun character in Arkham Origins and would be pretty cool to see in this.

@Joe

He is? I've never been impressed with Jay with his acting. I once thought he had a bright future after seeing Crazy/Beautiful, but I was wrong on that.

@DrKinsolving

Yeah. He's great in The Killing

Or someone small...he's not. A great actor

@FordEl Definitely. I have the feeling we'll be getting a LOT of villain cameos in this, especially in Arkham.

It has to be Bane and I mean Bane, not the one given to us by Nolan.

JoeMomma29 - 2/18/2015, 5:44 PM
@ramiel

He is not a bad gay but he does go against Flash because his powers can neutralize him.
MrCBM56
MrCBM56 - 2/18/2015, 5:46 PM
Yes, not the Bane Nolan gave us, we want Schumacher's!
