David Ayer Debuts ‘Suicide Squad’ Cast Photo, Featuring New Cast Member Ike Barinholtz

David Ayer released the first Suicide Squad cast photo on Twitter Thursday, featuring new cast members Adam Beach, Jim Parrack and Ike Barinholtz.

Director David Ayer, who has been keeping fans updated on the film’s pre-production via social media, shared a photo of a read through on Thursday, April 9.

While the photo doesn’t give fans any more clues as to what each villainous character will look like in the film, it does provide a first look at the (almost) entire cast together. Featured in the photo are previously announced cast members Will Smith (Deadshot), Joel Kinnaman (Rick Flagg), Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Killer Croc), Cara Delevingne (Enchantress), Jai Courtney (Boomerang), Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn), Viola Davis (Amanda Waller), Karen Fukuhara (Plastique) and Jay Hernandez (El Diablo).

The photo also served as an announcement of three other actors joining the cast: Adam Beach, Jim Parrack and Ike Barinholtz (the three men on the right of the photo). While their roles have not yet been released, it is rumored that Parrack will play Deathstroke, with Barinholtz as Dr. Hugo Strange and Beach as Ravan.

Not included in the photo are cast members Scott Eastwood, who is currently promoting his film The Longest Ride, and Jared Leto. Fans shouldn’t worry about Leto’s absence from the photo. The actor has been keeping fans up to date on his transformation into The Joker on social media, and recently shared a photo showing off his platinum blonde hair with the caption “Transformation begins.”

Transformation begins.
