Every DC film and character has its own charm. Among the charming characters, Superman by Henry Cavill became widely popular. However, James Gunn axed the character and the actor both. While fans are still recovering from the unexpected departure of the British actor, Gunn teased a major return of a character from The Suicide Squad franchise.

The Suicide Squad included many iconic characters of the DCU, including the characters like Joker, and the fan-favorite Harley Quinn. Fans loved the portrayal of Quinn by the Barbie actress, Margot Robbie. As The Direct suggested, James Gunn hinted at the return of Harley Quinn in the future projects of the Studio. Not only Quinn but also Viola Davis’ Amanda Waller and Sean Gunn’s Weasel from the film could be a part of the upcoming DC projects.

Because Quinn has strong ties with the Task Force X leader, she could appear in the DC series, Waller. Moreover, the ending of the film suggested Bloodsport and Quinn could work together in the future. Thus, the fan-favorite character could appear in a possible project on the DC’s villain, Bloodsport, as well. Idris Elba also suggested there was something big in the making at the DCU.

Because James Gunn has already revealed there was never a deal between the British actor and the studio, there seems fewer chance of the actor’s return. Moreover, Gunn is already working on the upcoming Superman movie that features a young Kryptonian. Therefore, there is almost no chance of the return of the fan-favorite Superman. However, they will be able to witness the great acting skills of the actor in the upcoming movies that he has lined up.

While there are a lot of changes going on at the DC Studios, this new information about the return of these The Suicide Squad characters has made the fandom excited.
