THE SUICIDE SQUAD: Viola Davis To Reprise The Role Of Amanda Waller In The Reboot/Sequel

Well, I guess it's not as much of a reboot as we'd been led to believe! According to a new report, James Gunn has enlisted Viola Davis to reprise the role of Amanda Waller in The Suicide Squad...

Just one week after Jai Courtney confirmed that he would be returning as Captain Boomerang in The Suicide Squad, it's now been revealed that Viola Davis is coming back as Amanda Waller.

Say what you will about the first movie but David was great as the woman in charge of Task Force X and it definitely makes sense for her story to continue in a movie that has been described as both a reboot and sequel since it was first announced. 

Plot details have not yet been revealed but during a recent interview, Courtney said "It’s a great [script], I was surprised by everything [in it]."

There's a lot of speculation that the original Task Force X will be killed off for a new team to take their place but it seems more likely that Gunn is taking the characters he likes from the first instalment and putting his own spin on them.

Are you excited for Davis to return to the DC Extended Universe as "The Wall" in The Suicide Squad
