Who doesn’t love Nathan Fillion, right? And now, the genre favourite has been added to James Gunn’s Suicide Squad sequel.

Via Deadline, Fillion has signed on for an undisclosed role in the follow-up – a move which sees the actor re-teaming with Gunn after having appeared in Slither, Super and lending his vocals to Guardians of the Galaxy.

Away from his roles in those Gunn movies, FIllion is also beloved for his turn in the likes of Firefly, Serenity, Castle and can currently been seen in The Rookie.

In addition to this, Brightburn’s Steve Agee has signed on for the Suicide Squad sequel – currently titled The Suicide Squad – in the role of King Shark. That villainous humanoid shark is a massive favourite of many a comic book fan, and Agee himself has previously worked with Gunn as one of the Ravagers in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

At present, The Suicide Squad is booked in for an August 2021 release.
