Rapper turned actor Common is just among the latest artist to be part of the cast of the much awaited superhero movie, "The Suicide Squad" and up until today, nobody really knew what role is he going for on this film. TMZ caught him on the set of the movie and concluded that he is in for the character of The Tattooed Man.
Since he has been cast, a lot of rumors abound that he would be playing the role of the Black Manta who happens to be Aquaman's nemesis. But Vulture said, there is no way he would be doing that role from the costume he was seen wearing along with the markings on his face. Even The Hollywood Reporter said that it is more likely that he would play The Tattooed Man, rather than the Black Manta. Him coming out looking like it is one good reason to assume.
All the other cast have already revealed their roles like Jared Leto as The Joker and Will Smith as Deadshot. Common's costume is still leaving a little bit of mystery to fans of the hit DC comics. His pierces and tattoos are said to have given away his role on the film but many are still confused.
All this time, fans of the comic book have pegged the rapper/actor as the Black Manta but it may have disappointed them just a little bit to have seen him wearing a completely different costume from who they expected he'd play. Abel Tarrant or The Tattooed Man is now the character everybody is assuming he'd work on and it's going to be cool because that character used his tattoos as weapons. And for those who don't know, The Tattooed Man is the arch nemesis of the Green Lantern.
