The DCU Still Needs Two More DCEU Characters To Pay Off A 3-Year-Old Tease
Summary
Despite being a hard reboot, the DCU is bringing back various DCEU characters. For instance, John Cena's Peacemaker and Viola Davis' Amanda Waller are getting their own shows in the DCU's Gods and Monsters chapter, and Xolo Maridueña is guaranteed to return later down the line — possibly in the DCU's Booster Gold series. Since certain DCEU actors are able to come back as slightly different variations of the same characters, two more DCEU characters could fulfill their potential in the DCU a few years after stealing the show in James Gunn's The Suicide Squad.
The Suicide Squad’s Bloodsport And Ratcatcher II Earned Their DCU Return Idris Elba's Bloodsport And Daniela Melchior's Ratcatcher II Survived The Events Of The Suicide Squad![]()
James Gunn's The Suicide Squad killed off half of Task Force X during its first fight sequence. As the titular team faced off against enemies like The Thinker, Starro, and their own teammates, the Task Force X survivors continued to die one by one. By The Suicide Squad's ending scenes, only Idris Elba's Bloodsport, Daniela Melchior's Ratcacther II, Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn, and Sylvester Stallone's King Shark lived to see another day. While Harley Quinn had already starred in Birds of Prey and King Shark's peaceful demeanor discarded a solo project, Bloodsport and Ratcatcher II developed a genuine friendship and seemed ready for another mission together.
Bloodsport and Ratcatcher II's character arcs may be the clearest in The Suicide Squad, partly because most of the cast died before enjoying theirs. Bloodsport learned to work in a team and got over his phobia of rats, and Ratcatcher II found peace in her father's death, accepting that there's always at least a speck of benevolence in everyone around her. What's more, Bloodsport is the Suicide Squad member who helped Ratcatcher II the most in opening up to other people, and Ratcatcher II is the one who shaped Bloodsport into a more selfless paternal figure than he ever hoped to be.
Neither Bloodsport and Ratcatcher II have appeared in any major comic book story since 2021, despite their short spike in popularity due to the film.
What Happened To James Gunn’s Other The Suicide Squad Spinoff James Gunn Had Envisioned Another The Suicide Squad Spinoff Show After Peacemaker![]()
In January 2022, James Gunn confirmed a second The Suicide Squad spinoff, though he didn't specify which character it was supposed to follow. Gunn wrote and directed Peacemaker season 1 for the DCEU, and his DCU reboot arrived soon afterward. Gunn decided to keep John Cena's Peacemaker in the reboot and moved ahead with Peacemaker season 2 in the new DCU canon. However, Gunn never revisited the unnamed The Suicide Squad spinoff he had announced years prior. As of 2024, the protagonist of James Gunn's quietly canceled The Suicide Squad spinoff is still unknown.
If the DCU ever revisits The Suicide Squad's second spinoff, it would likely look quite different from Gunn's initial plans for the project
Considering how packed the DCU's Gods and Monsters chapter will be, The Suicide Squad's second spinoff is very unlikely to be in any stage of development now. At least for the entirety of the DCU's first chapter, it's safe to say that the unnamed spinoff remains canceled. In its place, DCU projects such as the upcoming Creature Commandos animated show, the Waller series, and Peacemaker season 2 will employ its action-fueled, banter-filled tone with other little-known DC characters. If the DCU ever revisits The Suicide Squad's second spinoff, it would likely look quite different from Gunn's initial plans for the project.
The DCU Can Still Bring Back Bloodsport And Ratcatcher II The DCU Can Always Introduce Soft-Rebooted Versions Of DCEU Characters In Upcoming Projects Close Although Idris Elba and Daniela Melchior are unlikely to appear in the DCU anytime soon, their absence doesn't necessarily mean that Bloodsport and Ratcatcher II won't appear on screen ever again. The DCU is already bringing back several characters originally introduced in the DCEU, particularly in The Suicide Squad's corner of DC's previous franchise. Aside from John Cena's Peacemaker and Viola Davis' Amanda Waller, Jennifer Holland's Emilia Harcourt, Steve Agee's John Economos, Freddie Stroma's Vigilante, Danielle Brooks' Leota Adebayo, Sean Gunn's Weasel, and Xolo Maridueña's Blue Beetle will return in the DCU.
