Sign Me Up For 'Suicide Squad' Sequel: Jada Pinkett Smith.
Jada Pinkett Smith said she would love to play the comic book character Vixen in a sequel to the forthcoming film “Suicide Squad.” During a promotional tour of her film “Magic Mike XXL,” the actress revealed her wish to speak to "Suicide Squad" director David Ayer about playing the character.
“There’s a character that I love in the DC World, her name is Vixen. Probably haven’t heard much of her. She’s kind of in that Suicide Squad world as well. I love Vixen. If there was any character ... I would love to play her. I’m going to have to put my little word in with the director: ‘Vixen for Suicide Squad 2',” she told MTV UK.
