“Despite Sly being an iconic movie star, most people still don’t have any idea what an amazing actor this guy is.”

No details about Stallone’s character have been revealed yet. He will appear in The Suicide Squad alongside the likes of Margot Robbie, Idris Elba and Pete Davidson.







Meanwhile, Gunn recently teased the potential death of some major DC characters in the upcoming movie. “In The Suicide Squad, some of the characters end up being good, some end up being terrible,” he said in an interview.

“They don’t just get in fights and say they’re going to kill each other, they actually do get in fights and kill each other. You really don’t know who’s going to live and who’s going to die. I was given full freedom to kill anyone – and I mean anyone – by DC.”
