Director James Gunn just posted the following teaser graphic, confirming John Cena will be featured in the new film Suicide Squad.
Rounding out the cast will be: David Dastmalchian, Jai Courtney, Joaquin Cosio, Nathan Fillion, Joel Kinnaman, Mayling Ng, Flula Borg, Sean Gunn, Juan Diego Botto, Storm Reid, Pete Davidson, Taika Waititi, Alica Braga, Steve Agee, Tinashe Kajese, Daniela Melchior, Peter Capaldi, Julio Ruiz, Jennifer Holland, Viola Davis, Idris Elba, Margot Robbie, and Michael Rooker.
Cena’s role in the film had been rumored since a Variety story in April had reported he was in talks for an undisclosed role. Cena later spoke to The Wrap while promoting his gig on Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader, and didn’t directly confirm or deny his involvement, but said it “would be a tremendous opportunity for growth.” Cena also said:
“You have to get everything buttoned up before you can make it official, I don’t want to say anything … I will just say that if that opportunity presents itself, then I will be very grateful to take it,” he said.
