Taika Waititi initially had a different role in The Suicide Squad
James Gunn says Taika Waititi's The Suicide Sq꧒uad role was originally very d♛ifferent

Taika Waititi appears in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Suicide Squad for a few brief seconds – we won't spoil who the actor plays – but the actor/writer/director's part was originally going to be bigger. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn, who helms the new DC adventure, ha♑s revealed that Waititi was set to꧒ play a doomed Task Force X member.
"I actually thought about Taika for another role and I offered it to him and he said, 'I don't know,'" Gunn told . "He was working on [his live-action remake of] Akira at the time, and he said, 'I had to give you my answer in like two weeks,' he totally wanted to do it. It was one of the other superheroes. And he said that he wanted to do it and then Akira got greenlit and it was happening."
Gunn went on to refuse to reveal which actor ended up taking the 🐷role intended for Waititi, saying: "I would feel too bad." However, he did add that "it's one of the guys from the beginning" who ends up dead🌞.
How did Waititi end up in the movie at all, then? Akira ended up falling through. "Then, all of a sudden, it fell apart and [Taika] wrote me and he said, ‘Oh, [the] fucking movie fell apart. Is that role is still available?,'" Gunn said. "And I said, 'No, but let me get you in so👍mething else.'"
Akira not happening was not only good news for Gunn, but also for Marvel fans, as Waititi instead signed on to direct 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Thor: Love and Thunder, the next installment in the MCU's Thor series. That movie will also feature the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Guardians of the Galaxy, who were first broug🌼ht to the big screen by Gunn!&nbꦐsp;
