It seems all but a given that Common is playing the Tattooed Man in the Suicide Squad movie.
The recent trailer showed Common using what looks to be his powers to bring his tattooes to life.
Now in an interview with Complex, Common further hints at the role. While he doesn’t specifically state the Tattooed Man, he comes awful close.
“My role is basically a character who is in business with the Joker. His name was Monster T. You all will see what’s going on. The movie is dope, though,” Common offered.
“Suicide Squad” has an August 5, 2016 release date directed by David Ayer starring Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as the Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Adam Beach as Slipknot, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo, and Scott Eastwood in an unknown role.
