13. Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) – Suicide Squad
Amanda Waller is one of DC Comics’ most dangerous villains who uses her intelligence and fierce intimidation to get what she wants. Fans of the comics and of the character herself are looking forward to seeing Amanda Waller in the DC universe’s Suicide Squad, played by the Oscar nominee Viola Davis. In the film, Waller is the one calling the Squad’s every move but we’re sure her role is more complicated than that. Viola Davis reportedly read Confessions of a Sociopath by M.E Thomas in order to prepare for the role. Davis is just as fascinated by her character as we are, stating that she is a “powerful black woman, hard, ready to pick up a gun and shoot anyone at will.”
