Though he confirmed and debunked certain aspects the Suicide Squad rumors on social media last week, Joe Manganiello took to an interview with MTV News last weekend to address reports that he was up for the role of Slade Wilson, aka Deathstroke, in David Ayer's DC Comics adaptation.

"I was offered a role, [but] it didn't work out," admitted the Magic Mike actor. "So, some of those rumors are true, but it wasn't for the role that people said. I don't know how all these rumors start and how it pops up all over the internet and catches steam, but it wasn't what people thought. So, I don't know who started that one. (hmm) I've worked with [director] David Ayer before, so I would have loved to work with him again, but it just wasn't the right situation." 

Anyhow, Deathstroke is seemingly confirmed to be portrayed by Jim Parrack, another True Blood alum. And even with principal photography currently underway in Toronto, Canada, there is still no word on what role Joe Manganiello was initially offered in the 2016 movie. What do you think?



Directed by David Ayer from his script, Suicide Squad stars Will Smith (Deadshot), Joel Kinnaman (Rick Flag), Jared Leto (the Joker), Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn), Jai Courtney (Boomerang),
Viola Davis (Amanda Waller), Cara Delevingne (Enchantress), Jessie Eisenberg (Lex Luthor), and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Killer Croc), with Raymond Olubawale (King Shark), Jay Hernandez, Ike Barinholtz, Jim Parrack, Adam Beach, and Scott Eastwood. The film releases on August 5, 2016!

@Dev7 maybe he didn't agree with characterization of the character

If I was an actor I'd probably go crazy and start rants about people making rumours about me.

So basically I'd be exactly as I am except I'd also be rich

He should be punisher or...I think he would make a badass Hush

Money or he didn't like the character he was offered.

Magniello for Hush. Hush storyline would be cool. Hes a solid actor and has the badass look

Am I the only getting a Paul Rudd/Ant-Man type of vibe from this?



Who knows, perhaps I just really want Joe Manganiello to be Deathstroke.

Let it go, man. It's over. He's already signed up for different movie at the same time of Suicide Squad.

Picking a character to play can be a big undertaking, you'll be stuck with that character for years.

Damn shame. This guys is perfect for the role of Deathstroke.

Well DC can always cast him as Shazam.

I'm going to take a random stab at what part he was up for, Clayface for the villain. If it was a superhero Ted Kord, Blue Beetle.

Why do I feel like this guy turns down cbm roles?

He always seems to be up for a role but it doesn't "work out".

So if he wasn't offered Deathstroke role, what could it possibly be?



Deadshot?

#I don't care much for deathstroke but if I had to cast him I would have gone with Tom Cullen. Not sure why everyone wants Joe M to paly deathstroke but ok.

Having said that, wouldn't waste Tom Cullen with this current Dc cinematic unverise or honestly with this role.

@SmileformeDex
Am not sure what why you think that a movie with oscar winners or nominess will make a good movie, I Mos proves that not to mention the waste of talent. Then again this really wasn't a "I hate DC cinematic universe." Just my opinion no need to get your underwear all tangled. Also what does Mark Waid have to do with it ? Did he [frick] your girldfriend or something ?
