Suicide Squad
What would the mould ofSuicide Squadlook like if it was made in the nineties ? Here ’s a rephrasing of the 2016 DC Extended Universe movie . Directed by David Ayer , Suicide Squadwas the third flick released in the DCEU . In the aftermath ofBatman v Superman : Dawn of Justice ’s waiver , Warner Bros.implemented major reshootsand a new edit to try and vary the tone of the movie . WhileSuicide Squadwas a financial success after make over $ 700 million , the receipt from critics and general audience was quite mixed .
self-annihilation Squadfocused on a group of ace criminals who were tasked with serious deputation that , upon their mop up , will moderate to a reduced prison house sentence . The Suicide Squad date Harley Quinn ( Margot Robbie ) , Deadshot ( Will Smith ) , Captain Boomerang ( Jai Courtney ) , Killer Croc ( Adewale Akinnuoye - Agbaje),El Diablo ( Jay Hernandez ) , and Slipknot ( Adam Beach ) .

Even with the assorted reply toSuicide Squad , WB and DC are take in a continuation / reboot with James Gunn . The Suicide Squadis schedule to be secrete in 2021 and keep the enfranchisement move forward withsome returning cast members . But , what would the franchise look like if it was made a few decades ago ? WB and DC were already busy working on solo Batman movies at the clip , and here ’s whatSuicide Squad ’s mould could ’ve looked like if it was made in the 1990s .
Drew Barrymore as Harley Quinn
To leadSuicide Squad , we ’re going with Drew Barrymore as Harley Quinn . Barrymore was already a big deal in Hollywood during the ' 90s , as one of her former roles came as a child inE.T. the Extra - Terrestrial . She would make for a slightly younger variant ofHarley than Margot Robbie , but still has everything demand to be a convincing Harley . Barrymore also already has a joining to DC that could make for an interesting retcon . She play Sugar inBatman Forever , but with the limited information given on the character , ifSuicide Squadwas made in the nineties , Sugar could be retconned to be an alias of Harley potentially .
Wesley Snipes as Deadshot
alternatively of Will Smith , a 1990s version ofSuicide Squadcould feature Wesley Snipes as Deadshot . Snipes was a major star during the decade thanks to role inWhite Men Ca n’t derail , destruction Man , Money Train , andWaiting to Exhale . He could then fill the use of a proven box office and action lead . Snipes also has the personality to play an expert assassinator . While this might foreclose him fromstarring inBladein this alternate macrocosm , Deadshot is n’t returning for the subsequence , Snipes could still play the daywalker .
Hugh Jackman as Captain Boomerang
For the role of Captain Boomerang , a young Hugh Jackman could ’ve had his breakout role as the Aussie criminal . Jackman would be in his mid-20s during this time and not yet upchuck as Wolverine inX - Men . His Marvel superhero role has already raise he has what it takes to be part of a braggy enfranchisement , but Captain Boomerang would give Jackman the chance to show off more of his comedic power potentially and apply his natural Australian dialect .

Antonio Banderas as El Diablo
For El Diablo , we ’re going with Antonio Banderas . He was start to become quite a bounteous star during the 10 thanks to moving picture likeDesperado , Assassins , and theMask of Zorrofranchise . The role of El Diablo as it was presented inSuicide Squadmight not provide Banderas a chance to expend his charm , but the chance to play a man excruciate by the fact he by chance killed his folk is the type of material Banderas could excel with .
Michael Clarke Duncan as Killer Croc
The office of Killer Croc was done practically in 2016’sSuicide Squadand would have to do the same in the 1990s , so Michael Clarke Duncan becomes the ideal candidate to play him . He started to break out as an doer in the former ' 90sthanks toThe Green MilebutSuicide Squadcould’ve been his first big break instead . At 6'5 , Duncan possesses the physique needed to make Killer Croc an imposing fig , but he ’s also a groovy actor who could make the most of the character ’s modified dialogue .
Ming-Na Wen as Katana
We ’re go with Ming - Na Wen as the 1990s version of Katana inSuicide Squad . Wen was just starting her acting calling in this decade , with her character as Chun - Li inStreet Fighterher biggest on - screen role . Throughout her vocation , Wen has proven to be a great action performing artist and was heavy as Melinda May inAgents of SHIELD.Katana might not have much dialogue in the 2016 version ofSuicide Squad , but Wen can also deliver a operation that bring out the nicety of the character ’s worked up state .
Kate Winslet as Enchantress
Kate Winslet is our cream to take over the function of June Moon aka Enchantress in a 1990sSuicide Squad . She became one of the brightest unseasoned whiz during the end of the decade , soSuicide Squadcould be able-bodied to catch her before or get her right as she was breaking out afterTitanic . Throughout Winslet ’s career , she has played a wide range of characters and brought wonderful performances to a number of them . The Leslie Townes Hope here is that she could kick upstairs the role of Enchantress as it was presented in 2016 .

Bill Paxton as Rick Flagg
To lead the unexampled look Task Force X , Bill Paxton is the choice to take over the part of Rick Flag . Paxton was an excellent character actorin the eighties who start to take on even prominent roles in the nineties withTwister , True Lies , Apollo 13 , andTitanic . He ’s even played a military leader character on a few occasion , such as inEdge of Tomorrow . Flag was a spot of an underwhelming character in the original version of the movie , but Paxton ’s unique vigour could help oneself the fictional character standout in our nineties version .
Willem Dafoe as Joker
Willem Dafoe has long been near thetop of fan hurl lists to play Joker , so what better time to make this a reality than with a 1990sSuicide Squad . Dafoe had already been in a number of gamey profile and successful motion picture by the ' 90s , but a fortune to play the Clown Prince of Crime might be too big to extend up . His actual calling has present that he can be a great amusing book pic villain after play Green Goblin inSpider - Man , but his turn as Joker would now add up before .
Pam Grier as Amanda Waller
For the cleaning woman behind the entire Suicide Squad operation , we ’re going with Pam Grier as the 1990s Amanda Waller . Grier was already an established gift by this time after her role in blaxploitation films throughout the 70s and thenstarred in Quentin Tarantino’sJackie Brownin 1997 . She has the necessary screen mien to convincingly make Amanda Waller the most powerful person in a elbow room full of hoi polloi with actual index , and maybe her casting would even provide some revision to get Waller demand in some action herself .
Val Kilmer as Batman
If Warner Bros. and DC were makingSuicide Squadin the nineties , then the chance would be there for them to utilise their current Batman actor as well . This is exactly what the studio did in 2016 by have Ben Affleck make an appearance as the Dark Knight , so the 1990s version ofSuicide Squadcould see Val Kilmer reprise his role . SinceBatman Forevercame out in 1995,Suicide Squadcould’ve been released a few years later on and keep Kilmer around . But , George Clooney could be the one to appear if the moving picture was made any by and by , and Michael Keaton could be in retainer to render if it was made in the early ' 90s .
