The clip, which you can check out below, shows The Suicide Squad writer-director James Gunn, stars Nathan Fillion (T.D.K.) and David Dastmalchian (Polka-Dot Man), and Wipeout host Camille Kostek trying to determine which characters from the film would be best suited to run the course. As the video proves, their answers vary pretty widely.
Wipeout: The Suicide Squad Special is also set to see appearances from Daniela Melchior (Ratcatcher 2) and John Cena (Peacemaker), who also hosts the hit game show alongside Kostek and Nicole Byer.
In The Suicide Squad, welcome to hell โ a.k.a. Bell Reve, the prison with the highest mortality rate in the US of A. Where the worst Super-Villains are kept and where they will do anything to get out โ even join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X. Today’s do-or-die assignment? Assemble a collection of cons, including Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, Ratcatcher 2, Savant, King Shark, Blackguard, Javelin, and everyone’s favorite psycho, Harley Quinn. Then arm them heavily and drop them (literally) on the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese.
The Suicide Squad will see the return of Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Joel Kinnaman as Colonel Rick Flag, and Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang from 2016’s Suicide Squad. Joining them in the film are David Dastmalchian as Polka-Dot Man, Steve Agee as King Shark, Daniela Melchior as Ratcatcher 2, Idris Elba as Bloodsport, John Cena as Peacemaker, Nathan Fillion as T.D.K., Pete Davidson as Blackguard, Flula Borg as Javelin, Mayling Ng as Mongal, Peter Capaldi as The Thinker, Michael Rooker as Savant, Alice Braga as Sol Soria, and Sean Gunn as Weasel.
