Social Media is the bane of most directors' existence nowadays. Unless they are using it themselves to help sell their product. Case in point,Suicide Squad. DirectorDavid Ayerhas used his Twitter account to post behind-the-scenes teases, and he even revealed his entire cast in costume. But he’s in control. When someone else leaks out a bit of information, that’s a whole different story. And actress Corina Calderon is probably getting an earful this morning, as she finally revealed one of the characters in the movie who, up until this point, had not been announced.
Fans have long speculated whoJim Parrackis playing inSuicide Squad. Now, thanks to Corina Calderon, we know! He will playThe Joker’s HenchmanJonny Frost. The character was created specifically for the 2008 graphic novel simply titled ‘Joker’. The book was written by Brian Azzarello and illustrated by Lee Bermejo. This may not be news to some of you, asThe Warp’s Jeff Sneider first reported on this a few months ago during an episode of his ‘Meet the Press’ podcast. Now it is confirmed.
Corina Calderon only has a small part in Suicide Squad, and her character has not been mentioned by name. She previously worked withDavid Ayeron his cop thrillerEnd of Watch, and the pair obviously have a good working relationship. If she doesn’t show up in his next movie, we’ll know that her acts of treason against the DC Movie may be to blame. She has since had to delete her Instagram revealingJim Parrack’s character. But she had this to say, which comes courtesy ofBatman News:
“All #HappyCamper on my way to set again, going earlier than my #CallTime just to be there and watch my boy Jim Parrack playing #JonnyFrost do his Thang #SuicideSquad”
The photo, which you canview here, doesn’t showJim Parrackin character. And it’s unclear if the actress herself is in costume. It certainly doesn’t look to be the case. If you watch thetrailerclosely, you will catch a glimpse ofJonny Frost, as he leadsThe Jokerdown a hallway. We’ve included both the photo and the trailer so you can watch it all over again in it’s glory. With so many characters in Suicide Squad, it’s doubtful that Frost will get much screen time. And his character will probably serve as set dressing forJared Leto’s Joker more than anything else.
In Suicide Squad, supervillains accept a secret government mission that will likely result in their deaths. The cast also includesMargot Robbieas Harley Quinn,Cara Delevingneas Enchantress,Jai Courtneyas Captain Boomerang andWill Smithas Deadshot. In the ‘Joker’ graphic novel, Jonny Frost is a low-level thug sent to Arkham Asylum to pick up the Joker. The Joker immediately takes a liking to Frost and uses him as a chauffeur. In the movie, Frost clearly has a hand in helping the Joker storm an as yet unidentified building at gunpoint. What do you think? Do you likeJim Parrackas The Joker’s righthand man?
