The Suicide Squad Clip Reveals Nathan Fillion’s T.D.K. In Action

After bringing a talking panda and a tree man to the MCU in Guardians of the Galaxy, James Gunn is repeating the same trick with DC’s Suicide Squad and has filled its version of Task Force X with some of the weirdest superheroes from the comics. Case in point, this new clip from the upcoming movie presents our first look at Nathan Fillion’s character in action. And he might have the weirdest powers we’ve ever seen in a superhero movie.

The 40-second clip shows the squad on duty. While Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman) and Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) take shelter from enemy fire, TDK (Fillion) is brought into the battlefield. Here, we and Harley discover what TDK stands for and what he does. TDK’s full alias is Detachable Child and to stop enemy pieces, he can remove his arms from his body and send them forward to attack.

“What f**k?” Harley said, speaking for all of us. The embarrassed Flag then replied, “I didn’t pick the damn team!” Check out the clip via the tweet below:

Just as fans had previously deduced, this clip confirms that Fillion is playing a loose adaptation of Arm-Fall-Off Boy, a cast member who will be a member of the Legion of Super Heroes from Silver Age. In addition to having a slightly better name, TDK’s powers are also more developed than AFO Boy’s, as he can only use his detached arms as blunt weapons and cannot mentally control them like TDK.

Other members of Task Force X include Weasel (Sean Gunn), Polka-Dot Man (David Dastmalchian) and King Shark (Sylvester Stallone). Robbie’s co-hosts for this sequel are Idris Elba as Bloodsport, the man who put Superman into a coma with a Kryptonite bullet, and Peacemaker (John Cena), the peace-loving soldier who will kill anyone. who to get there paradoxically. Cena will reprise her role in HBO Max’s People of Peace TV series.

Suicide Squad in theaters and streaming from August 5.
