The casting of Ike Barinholtz and Jim Parrick have been under incredible speculation and rumors. Rumors so far believe that Parrick is going to be Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke and Barinholtz as Hugo Strange. I really hope that Hugo Strange speculation is just an exaggeration. Karel Roden (Rasputin from the Hellboy movie) would be the smartest casting pick for Hugo Strange. Ike would be better suited for someone like Firefly or Killer Moth.
As for Deathstroke, I really can't see why the Suicide Squad movie would need Deathstroke if Rick Flagg is already involved. Deathstroke and Rick Flag serve as team leaders for the Suicide Squad but with the two of them in the same movie, it would make things clustered. I'm still really curious about what the plot is for this movie. With Joker and Killer Croc's involvement, it really sounds like this movie is going to be a rehash of Batman: Assault on Arkham. Personally, I wouldn't mind because it would expand on the origins of each squad member plus I really loved Assault on Arkham.
