Rick Flag

Back when the cast for Suicide Squad was revealed, the rumor was that Rick Flag will turn against the squad and become the hidden villain of the movie. We don’t know just yet, but Flag does seem to be an outsider (so not necessarily an army man), amazed of the team he has to lead. After all, he does look bewildered when checking out the files of each of the squad members.

And so he is not necessarily a straight-forward villain – he is a man tasked with a job and he intends to do it. Obviously, there are hiccups along the way (a little looting during the job is always welcomed), something with which he isn’t used to.

Most interestingly, this second Suicide Squad trailer revealed that he has an actual relationship with Enchantress/June Moon. The Comic Con trailer only teased that there might have been something between them – now we are certain that Flag is June’s lover, even if she is possessed by a witch.

And this makes it a bit difficult for us to believe that Enchantress is the one the Suicide Squad is sent after, as the rumors suggested. Sure enough, she is the only character with actual magical abilities – but she is in hand’s reach, being Flag’s better half.

To be noted, he is in the comics a bit mentally unbalanced – but more on that later on.
