More supervillains are joining the “Suicide Squad” line-up. Three more actors will join the cast to play three more villains who will appear in the film.
According to The Wrap, “Lost” actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje is joining the cast to play Killer Croc in the upcoming DC movie. Killer Croc is an enemy of Batman and is considered a supervillain. He is known to have a massive physique and a reptilian appearance because of a medical condition called epidermolytic hyperkeratosis, which causes his crocodile-like appearance. Akinnuoye-Agbaje has not confirmed the report, neither has Warner Bros.
