One Suicide Squad actor whose character has yet to be confirmed is Ike Barinholtz. The Mindy Project star was previously rumored for the role of Hugo Strange, but we don’t even know for sure if that character is in the film. During an interview with Zap2it, Barinholtz still won’t say who he’s playing, but he offers a few hints. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Barinholtz is not playing a good guy in Suicide Squad. He says, “I can tell you my character in that movie is someone you would not want at your house for dinner. He’s a very troubled human being.” He then suggests that his character may be revealed “by the…

FEATURE: Five Actors Who Should Be Considered to Play Brainiac in the DC Extended Universe
Arguably one of DC Comics’ greatest villains is Brainiac, a frequent enemy of Superman and sometimes the rest of the Justice League. This alien android, who collects data, cities and even planets throughout the universe, is a formidable foe in the DC Universe, making it a surprise that he has yet to be adapted to the big screen.
