The latest addition to the cast of James Gunn's The Suicide Squad is an actor who's been fan-cast as a multitude of superheroes for many years now, Nathan Fillion.

Deadline reports that the Castle star, who has worked with Gunn on several of his previous projects including Guardians of the Galaxy, has signed on to join the already very impressive ensemble, but his role is being kept under wraps for the time being.

Fillion joins fellow new Task Force X recruits Idris Elba, John Cena, David Dastmalchian, Daniela Melchior and Storm Reid, along with returning stars Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman, Jai Courtney and Viola Davis. Plot details remain under wraps, but we may get a better idea of what to expect very soon as production is expected to commence in September.

The Suicide Squad is set for release on August 6, 2021.

Weird to have Hal Jordon first show up in Suicide Squad but I’ll allow it (if only)

@Twenty23Three - that would be awesome. He already voices Hal in the DCAU.

@RageDriver2401 - Remember when J.K. Simmons got shredded and we all thought it was for Gordon? And it turned out it was just because he was into fitness, lol

Peace Maker? He can actually act... something John [frick]ing Cena can't.

It annoys me that this man never has a bigger role in CBMs or any film.

Doesn't necessarily need to be a super hero, but a prominent role somewhere. Not just a fun cameo.

That is... they really want to make me watch this, damn. Good to see him in a superhero related thing again. I still hold Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog in higher regard than most major CBMs.

I always had him down as Maxwell Lord but apparently that's who Pedro Pascal is playing in WW84. Maybe Pedro can be Maxwell Lord III and Filion can be Maxwell Lord IV
