According to some publications, the rumor could simply be misinterpreted, and the villain may actually turn out to be Deathstroke. That would align with some other rumors we’ve heard previously, which claimed that the character is coming to the sequel.
Of course, it’s also possible that the producers are preparing something entirely new that the fans don’t even suspect. The comic universe they’re sourcing their materials from has plenty of ideas for new characters that can be introduced, and right now the sky is the limit.
That’s probably why there have been so many rumors about the sequel to “Suicide Squad” lately as well. It’s not hard to make up a fact about the film that sounds semi-plausible, and thanks to the Internet and social media, it’s easier than ever to spread that “fact” among many fans hungry for information, and see it follow its course.
Because of this, those who’re eagerly anticipating the sequel to the film should be very wary of rumors, especially ones that sound more unusual. As the old saying goes, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. We can’t expect the producers to make any statements about the film so early either, and in fact they would probably prefer to keep things to themselves until the very end. with so much speculation around their next film, they can only benefit from letting people guess and discuss all over the Internet.
