Weasel really survived

One of the deepest DC cuts in The Suicide Team is the inclusion of Weasel (Sean Gunn). A hideous-looking humanoid brute that beginning debuted in the comics in 1985. While it appeared that he drowned during the initial beach landing on Corto Maltese, Savant (Michael Rooker) might take been a fiddling hasty declaring him dead.

The first post-credit scene reveals that Weasel really survived his ordeal. We encounter him regain consciousness and wander off into the jungle in this brief sequence. Does this mean that Weasel might be getting his own spin-off flick or could play a prominent role in a future Suicide Team motion picture?

Probably not. Weasel is definitely a disposable comic-relief character in The Suicide Squad and he'll almost certainly stay that way. He might make a small cameo in a potential sequel, but it'due south also but as likely that this post-credits scene is the last we'll hear from the baroque animal.

Peacemaker will be dorsum

During the third deed of The Suicide Team, information technology's revealed that Peacemaker (John Cena) actually has his own secret agenda. The peace-loving anti-hero is in fact helping Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) cover upwardly the U.s.'s involvement in the man experiments committed in Corto Maltese.

This brings him directly into disharmonize with both Rick Flagg (Joel Kinnaman) and Bloodsport (Idris Elba). The latter shoots Peacemaker in the throat in dramatic fashion every bit the facility around them collapses. It seemed all but certain that Peacemaker had died.

Merely the second bonus scene that plays right at the very end of the credits proves otherwise. Peacemaker has been pulled from the rubble, likely nether the teaching of Waller. We run across two of her aids visit a hospital where Peacemaker is being treated for his injuries, including the same throat with a bullet hole in it.

Peacemaker's apparent death being a fakeout shouldn't come up as a slap-up shock to DC fans who have been keeping paying attending. John Cena has already confirmed that he will be returning to the function for a Peacemaker idiot box series that will debut on HBO Max in January 2022.

Waller's 2 aids, John Economos (Steve Agee) and Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland), are too confirmed to return for the serial. The show will likely see them act as handlers who assistance Peacemaker in his mission to "save the f***ing world."

The series is also set to explore the origins of the character. Does that hateful we'll be learning why he's obsessed with achieving peace at whatever cost?

In that location's no incertitude that Peacemaker will seek some form of revenge on Bloodsport likewise. Unfortunately, that volition take to expect because (as far as nosotros know) Idris Elba isn't prepare to feature in the spinoff goggle box serial. Possibly the pairs grudge match will be saved for a 3rd Suicide Squad motion-picture show?
