Slipknot

Slipknot is a DC Comics supervillain that was introduced back in 1984. We haven’t got a live-action version of Slipknot yet – neither in television nor in film – and I don’t actually remember watching an animated version of the character as well! The supervillain with mastery of ropes is set to make his live-action debut in next year’s second DC Extended Universe installment Suicide Squad.

Smoke Signals star Adam Beach is set to play Slipknot who is a member of the Task Force X in the movie. Here’s how the Canadian actor described his character (via ComicBookMovie):

“He’s formidable. He can climb anything. And he hangs people for a living. I joke that he was caught strangling Wonder Woman. I downloaded this app called Grog Knots. Now I could tie up a horse.”

Well, we have seen a whole of Suicide Squad photos – leaked and officially released – featuring Slipknot, so we have a pretty good idea of how Adam Beach’s version of the character would look in the movie. The costume is nowhere close to the comic books and that’s the case for most other characters of the movie. But that’s pretty much understandable since they are aiming to make these characters appear more and more grounded.
