Director James Gunn has revealed a new trailer for The Suicide Squad, giving our best look yet at many of the oddball DC Comics characters (and the actors playing them) that are on the team’s roster in this follow-up to the 2016 film. We also got to see some of them use their powers in the new preview, like David Dastmalchian's Polka-Dot Man throwing his, well, polka dots at his enemies. The trailer also offers up new footage of Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Amanda Waller (Viola Davis), Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman), Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney), Bloodsport (Idris Elba), TDK (Nathan Fillion), Peacemaker (John Cena), Blackguard (Pete Davidson), and more. Interestingly, we're still not clear on who Taika Waititi is playing in The Suicide Squad (but we have a few theories). [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/the-suicide-squad-official-trailer-2"] For every badass new character in the mix, there are the wacky inclusions, D-listers who are likely to serve as darkly humorous cannon fodder in an action film where the protagonists are, by their very nature, expendable. Check out the full breakdown of The Suicide Squad cast below:

The Suicide Squad Cast - From Blackguard to Polka Dot Man and Beyond

• Idris Elba - Bloodsport
• Margot Robbie - Harley Quinn
• John Cena - Peacemaker
• Viola Davis - Amanda Waller
• Jai Courtney - Captain Boomerang
• Joel Kinnaman - Rick Flag
• David Dastmalchian - Polka-Dot Man
• Daniela Melchior - Ratcatcher II
• Sylvester Stallone (voice)/Steve Agee (mo-cap) - King Shark (mo-cap)
• Steve Agee - John Economos
• Sean Gunn - Weasel (mo-cap)
• Flula Borg - Javelin
• Nathan Fillion - TDK
• Peter Capaldi - The Thinker
• Pete Davidson - Blackguard
• Alice Braga - Solsoria
• Mayling Ng - Mongal
• Michael Rooker - Savant
• Storm Reid - Tyla (Bloodsport's daughter)
• Jennifer Holland - Emilia Harcourt
• Joaquin Cosio - General Mateo Suarez
• Tinashe Kajese - Flo Crawley
• Juan Diego Botto - Luna

[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-suicide-squad-whos-who-full-cast-and-character-reveals&captions=true"] Back in August, the DC FanDome panel for The Suicide Squad revealed that Bloodsport is in prison for shooting Superman with a kryptonite bullet, In the DC Comics, Bloodsport is a Superman foe and has been a few different people throughout the character's history. The character first appeared in Superman #2 in 1987 and was created by John Byrne and Karl Kesel. Elba’s costume certainly looks different from Bloodsport's comic book outfit. How about that mask! That menacing maw almost makes it look like a Xenomorph’s face. Playing Tyla, the daughter of Elba’s character Bloodsport, is Storm Reid, whose credits include A Wrinkle in Time, The Invisible Man, and HBO’s Euphoria. 2016’s Suicide Squad developed a relationship between Deadshot and his young daughter Zoe Lawton; seeing as how Elba is the Will Smith surrogate in this film then it’s possible Gunn transferred whatever relationship the sequel was originally meant to explore between the Lawtons to these characters and changed their names since Gunn chose not to recast Will Smith’s role. Next up is John Cena who plays Peacemaker, an extremist who wants to achieve peace so badly he will kill any man, woman or child to attain it. Cena’s costume certainly looks very close to his comic book counterpart, right down to the dopey steel helmet. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-suicide-squad-theatrical-trailer&captions=true"] Ant-Man’s David Dastmalchian plays Polka-Dot Man, aka Abner Krill. Polka-Dot Man is an obscure Batman foe whose outfit is composed of weaponized dots (seriously). Meanwhile, SNL and The King of Staten Island’s Pete Davidson portrays Blackguard. Blackguard was an enemy of Booster Gold's whose real name was, yes, Dick Hertz. In a pair of roles accomplished via motion-capture, Steve Agee plays the towering King Shark, while director James Gunn’s brother, Sean Gunn, plays the human-sized vermin known as Weasel. You may recall that Sean Gunn also plays the mo-cap reference for Rocket Raccoon in the Marvel movies. Sylvester Stallone is voicing King Shark. Another Guardians of the Galaxy alum, Michael Rooker, plays Savant, a lesser Bat-villain who later became a member of The Suicide Squad during The New 52. Steve Agee also plays a separate role, a DC Comics character named John Economos, according to a tweet from James Gunn. Gunn has also revealed that Tinashe Kajese plays Flo Crawley, another DC Comics character. The New Mutants’ Alice Braga plays Solsoria, who appears to be an original character in the film and a soldier of some kind. Mayling Ng plays Mongal, who in the DC Comics is the daughter of an alien tyrant … so she’s Gamora? We’ll see if Mongal ends up as integral to The Suicide Squad as Gamora did to the Guardians. Firefly’s Nathan Fillion reunites with James Gunn here after previously appearing in Guardians of the Galaxy, Slither, and Super. Fillion plays TDK, an original creation of Gunn’s. [ignvideo width=610 height=374 url=https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/03/26/the-suicide-squad-official-trailer] Daniela Melchior plays Ratcatcher 2. While not the same Ratcatcher who tangled with Batman in the sewers of Gotham, her incarnation has a similar Pied Piper-like ability to communicate with and train armies of rats. Former Doctor Who star Peter Capaldi plays The Thinker. There have been a few different incarnations of the character throughout DC history, where he’s battled the Flash and Firestorm, and served as a member of the Injustice Society. German actor-comedian Flula Borg portrays the gaudily attired Javelin, whose dopey outfit sure seems to paint quite the target on him. Javelin is a Green Lantern villain who has also been a member of the Suicide Squad in the comics. Jennifer Holland plays Emilia Harcourt, who in the comics was an NSA agent who worked with Amanda Waller. Joaquin Cosio plays General Mateo Suarez. Finally, Juan Diego Botto plays Luna, who appears to be a general or ruler of some kind. So what do you think of the lineup for The Suicide Squad? And who do you think will be the first one of them to buy it in the movie? Let us know in the comments!

Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.2 is now live and it's starting to seem like a vicious cycle where solving bugs can also result in some new ones. The Cyberpunk 2077 subreddit is filled with discoveries of bugs that have appeared after the latest patch. The 1.2 Patch appears to have a net positive in regards to optimization, particularly on consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X. But despite fixing typos, and improving elements like automated police spawns and cars stuck in traffic, there do appear to be some new bugs that weren't in the game before the patch. The Cyberpunk 2077 subreddit, still the most popular source for all things Cyberpunk has a bunch of videos highlighting some fun new bugs that appeared after the patch. A couple of common bugs have appeared since the patch. One involves a dynamic weather bug that seems to be giving some players a permanent sandstorm. Another bug seems to involve vehicles behaving erratically, though this could be a result of the numerous changes to driving Cyberpunk 2077 added in the latest patch. Another common one appears to be some serious clipping issues, either with the cars, clothes, or walls. It's unclear if this is the same issue that's causing weapons to appear invisible for several players. The subreddit has a rundown of some other silly ones that have appeared since the patch, including one that projects the onboard meters on a motorcycle onto an ad billboard. Personally, I think this one is actually cool. But beyond the new bugs, there is a mix of some solid immersive improvements with the new patch. V now sleeps in his bed properly, instead of crashing onto their mattress like a college kid after one too many all-nighters. V also won't take a shower with their clothes on, which I won't share here. Aside from these fixes targeting infamous typos, the 1.2 Patch also seems to be focused on optimization, especially on consoles. PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox One X, and PS4 Pro players seem to be seeing some added benefits after the patch. Though base last-gen consoles appear to have no improvements and may perform worse after the patch. Check out IGN's Cyberpunk 2077 1.2 Patch tech review for more details on all the performance changes. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt T.M. Kim is IGN's News Editor.

After earning an Oscar nomination for his performance in the family drama Minari, Steven Yeun has set sights on his next project. The actor is in negotiations to join the cast of writer-director Jordan Peele's next feature film, per Deadline. Though the premise is still being kept under wraps, casting news for the project has been bubbling in recent weeks. Last month, it was reported that Keke Palmer is set to star in the movie. Additionally, Daniel Kaluuya is in talks to co-star, which would reunite the Get Out lead with Peele. Kaluuya is also nominated for an Oscar this year for his supporting turn in Judas and the Black Messiah. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/01/04/minari-official-trailer"] Earlier this month, Yeun became the first Asian American to ever be Oscar-nominated for Best Actor for his turn as the father of a Korean immigrant family in Minari. The film earned five other Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director. Yeun's other major credits include his regular role as Glenn on The Walking Dead, as well as supporting turns in Bong Joon-Ho's Okja and Lee Chang-dong's Burning. The actor is also set to star alongside Ali Wong in the upcoming Netflix series Beef. Along with writing and directing, Peele will produce the project alongside Ian Cooper of Monkeypaw Productions. This marks the third film Peele has made with Universal. Peele's directorial debut Get Out was a smash success at the box office and earned four Oscar nominations, including Peele for Best Director, Kaluuya for Best Actor, and Best Picture. Peele won for Best Original Screenplay. His horror follow-up Us was another commercial success, earning $255.1 million worldwide against a $20 million budget. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=ranking-jordan-peeles-the-twilight-zone-season-1&captions=true"] It remains to be seen whether Peele will be returning to horror for his next project. Whatever it ends up being, Universal is set to release the film on July 22, 2022. [poilib element="accentDivider"] J. Kim Murphy is a freelance entertainment writer.

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe keeps chugging along with the upcoming release of Black Widow, it seems that some of Stan Lee's other comic book creations will be finding their way into movies as well. Director John Woo revealed Thursday that he is attached to produce a live-action adaptation of the unreleased series Monkey Master, which Lee created with his frequent collaborator Sharad Devarajan in 2016. Drawing from Lee and Devarajan's story, the film will follow Li Yong, an archeologist that discovers an ancient prophecy about the Chinese legend of The Monkey King. Yong's findings lead him on an adventure in India, where a hidden power transforms him into a superhero. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/12/28/ant-man-and-the-wasp-stan-lee-outtakes"] Stan Lee discussed his creative investment in Monkey Master in 2016, two years before his death in November 2018. "I have always been fascinated by the Chinese and Indian cultures which are so philosophical and rich in tradition and morality," Lee said. "Monkey Master will be unique in how it interweaves myth to create a modern-day hero that will entertain fans across the world with his martial arts skills and unstoppable super-powers." Monkey Master co-creator Devarajan is the co-founder and CEO of Graphic India. "Stan Lee was a mentor and friend who was one of the most influential creators of the 20th century," Devarajan said in a statement. "His characters are the modern mythologies of our time, transcending nations and culture and speaking to us in the primal language of human imagination... I am so excited to work with John Woo [and producers] Lori Tilkin and Gill Champion to honor Stan's Monkey Master creation and bring this superhero to the screen the way he always intended." [caption id="attachment_2495277" align="alignnone" width="842"] Credit: Graphic India[/caption] Woo is one of the most influential action filmmakers in the world. A major figure of Hong Kong cinema, Woo made his name directing films such as The Killer and Hard Boiled. Woo also had a long run in Hollywood which included blockbusters like Face/Off, Mission: Impossible II, and Paycheck, before returning to Asian cinema. "I have always wanted to make a film based on the Monkey King story of China but have struggled with a new way to present it," Woo said. "The story by Stan Lee was such a unique version of it that incorporated the mythological character's unexplored journey to India and had all the elements I enjoy in filmmaking - great characters, action, and adventure."

Ava DuVernay’s New Gods and James Wan’s Aquaman spinoff The Trench are officially canceled at Warner Bros. and DC Films, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"As part of our DC slate, some legacy development titles including New Gods and The Trench will not be moving forward," Warner Bros. and DC said in a statement to THR. "We thank our partners Ava DuVernay, Tom King, James Wan, and Peter Safran for their time and collaboration during this process and look forward to our continued partnership with them on other DC stories. The projects will remain in their skillful hands if they were to move forward in the future."

[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=dc-extended-universe-every-upcoming-movie&captions=true"]

DuVernay took to Twitter Thursday to express her disappointment with the development.

"Tom, I loved writing NEW GODS with you," DuVernay wrote. "I’m upset that the saga of Barda, Scott, Granny, Highfather, and The Furies ends this way. Diving into Kirby’s Fourth World was the adventure of a lifetime. That can’t be taken away. Thank you for your friendship. And remember... #DarkseidIs."

King similarly expressed his dismay at the project's cancellation and appreciation for DuVernay's work. "Ava! I’m so incredibly proud of the work we did, it was such a joy seeing you bring your passion and talent to these characters," King tweeted. "I really felt Kirby’s legacy was being honored here and I wish we could’ve kept going. That one Barda/Scott scene where…damn."

While the projects are being frozen, for now, THR’s sources indicated that DC Films and Warner Bros. are leaving the door open for future adaptations. DC and WB reportedly felt the two films did not fit in DC’s next few years of superhero entries and preferred to not leave the production teams in limbo. DuVernay (Selma, Scandal) was originally brought on to collaborate with comic book writer Tom King (The Vision, Batman) on New Gods, a cast of superpowered individuals who emerged after the destruction of the classical gods. DuVernay is still currently working on DC’s Naomi series for CW. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/03/26/the-suicide-squad-official-trailer"]

Wan (Saw, The Conjuring), who previously directed 2018's Aquaman, was similarly slated to produce a horror-focused spinoff dubbed The Trench. The film would further explore the race of evil deepsea creatures that Aquaman battles. Wan was also collaborating with longtime production partner Peter Safran. Aquaman 2 reportedly focuses on plot elements introduced in Silver Age Black Manta comics.

Further complicating Duvernay’s New Gods film was the appearance of villain Darkseid in Zack Snyder’s Justice League. DC Films reportedly felt there wouldn’t be enough space between Justice League and New Gods, which also planned to feature Darkseid as a central antagonist.

DC’s upcoming film slate is the company’s attempt to establish a more consistent continuity between films. James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad is planned to introduce a spinoff focusing on John Cena’s Peacemaker character, while Matt Reeve’s The Batman is spawning a Gotham police department series.
