SUICIDE SQUAD 2 Rumored To Pit Task Force X Against Joe Manganiello's Deathstroke

We know that Suicide Squad 2 is currently undergoing yet another rewrite but rumour has it that the sequel will revolve around Task Force X going to war with Deathstroke. Hit the jump for further details!

Yesterday, Joe Manganiello appeared at the Oz Comic-Con in Melbourne and one fan is claiming to have learned something very interesting about his future as Deathstroke. Before we get to that, though, let's recap his role in the DC Films Universe. The actor first appeared as Slade Wilson in test footage for The Batman which was shot on the set of Justice League but that didn't go anywhere.

So, now he's no longer going to be the lead villain in that movie, the Justice League after-credits scene probably won't go anywhere, right? That solo movie seems to be stuck in development hell but what about Suicide Squad 2? Are we going to ultimately see Task Force X taking on the Injustice League? 

Well, one Redditor claims to have spoken to Manganiello during a signing and he reportedly "confirmed" that Deathstroke will battle the villains in that sequel. This should obviously be taken with a pinch of salt for now, of course, but it definitely leaves us with a lot to think about and it would be great fun seeing Slade Wilson outmatch the entire team if they were to go to war with each other.


What do you guys think of this rumour? As always, be sure to let us know your thoughts below.

@DetectiveCinema - Every now and then...sequels are better than originals. Like T2. So maybe.

@DoubleD - Well, if someone actually did talk to someone in the know that is better than what we sometimes get from unknown sources . . . maybe . . . if it is actual true. But then maybe someone made it up, although it doesn't sound farfetched.

I dig it.
That's how they should've started this whole thing, not with some end of the world scenario, keep it grounded, i mean the Deadstroke/Deadshot rivalry alone is...woof!

@DoubleD
Yeah, i'm just giving my 2 cents, it would be cool, that's all. :)
Whatever happens, at the end of the day, i think it's just a matter of time.
We're talking about a shared universe, we have the Suicide Squad, now we have Deastroke thanks to the JL, the will face-off...eventually! :P

@RasAlGhul - Josh "grain-of-salt" Wilding would be out of a job if all reddit sources were to be disregarded.

He should’ve been the antagonist of the first movie.

HEY Josh, I work for Warner brothers and have a leak I would like to submit. All my editorials are actually scripts ive made for Warner brothers and to learn what’s coming next in the DCEU, you need to read them and maybe leave a nice comment or upvote them! I’m saying it’s true and am on the internet anonymously so it must be!

@noahthegrand - I don't blame Josh if it wasn't for Reddit and rumors DC fans would have nothing to read :)

Impending world salt crisis. So many CBM users have been using a pinch of salt lately that there is a world wide shortage.

Seriously though, I hope that this is true. We don’t need a Deathstroke solo movie. Then again, we didn’t need a Solo movie.

Off topic, but want there meant to have been a Superman game shown at E3? I'm losing my faith in unsupported Reddit leaks

@Knightrider - E3 is still going

Damn. Is this how WB handles their DC stuff?
Guys, we got the Rock here, Joe there, Jared over there. Let’s put them all in whatever movie.

F the story/plan. Just make a bunch of scenes with enough lines to make a trailer. “Is this some kind of Stroke of Death?” Brilliant! Cut!
