Ike Barinholtz Teases Mystery SUICIDE SQUAD Role

Almost all the roles in Suicide Squad are accounted for...except for a precise few. Is Scott Eastwood Deathstroke, Dick Grayson or just a member of Taskforce X?  Is Jim Parrack Joker henchman Johnny Frost? Is rapper/actor Common playing Bronze Tiger or Tattoo Man?  There's also  Alex Meraz and Corina Calderon, who currently have no rumors about what role they'll play in David Ayer's film.  Ike Barinholtz also doesn't have any rumors about who he's playing in Suicide Squad but apparently, it's someone not very nice.  "I can tell you my character in that movie is someone you would not want at your house for dinner. He’s a very troubled human being. "

Sounds like Barinholtz is not one of the (few) good guys appearing the film.  Then again, these are all hardboiled criminals being forced to do heroic things by Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) and the US Government so none of the Squad members are exactly the type of people you'd invite over for dinner. 

Weighing in on the seriusness of the first trailer, Barinholtz, who's known for his comedic stint on MADtv, says that while Suicide Squad is a serious film, there will be some humor.   "The trailer is very serious, but [director] David Ayer is a psychopath. As as much as he loves the dark and exploring the disturbed side of society, it’s not like you’re telling jokes, but if you can just kind of in the moment try to play things a little honestly and react to these giant, huge superhero things that are happening, funny stuff can kind of happen and there can be laughs from it... Will Smith is a very funny guy, Jai Courtney is actually a very funny guy, Margot Robbie is actually funny, so I think there is going to be some moments in that that actually make people laugh."
