It's a Marvel get-together. Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi is reportedly in talks to the cast of The Suicide Squad, writer-director James Gunn's (Guardians of the Galaxy series) soft reboot / sequel to the original DC Comics film. There's no word on Waititi's character in The Suicide Squad, which is set to begin production on September 23. Though he's better known for his directorial efforts, Waititi has made several appearances in films and TV shows over the years, including the alien Korg in Ragnarok and Avengers: Endgame, and minor roles in Green Lantern and several New Zealand TV series, in addition to appearances in some of his own films.

Nathan Fillion, Steve Agee, and Flula Borg have also been cast in undisclosed roles.

Meanwhile, The Suicide Squad cast also features returning stars Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Joel Jinnaman as Rick Flag, Viola Davis as Amanda Walker, and Jai Courtney as George “Digger” Harkness / Captain Boomerang. Will Smith and Jared Leto are not expected to return. The Suicide Squad is going to be a weird mix of the old and the new, as it plans to essentially re-launch the beleaguered series that's part of a dumpster fire, with a 27 percent rotten score on reviews aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.

Waititi was last seen in a cameo appearance in the Channel 4 sitcom Year of the Rabbit. His roles include playing an imaginary, idiotic Adolf Hitler in the black comedy-drama Jojo Rabbit, which he wrote and directed. Waititi has voice roles in Thor: Love and Thunder.

The Suicide Squad is slated to release Joker origin movie out in October.
