Right before DCFanDome, this past Saturday our friends over at Splash Report &  The Illuminerdi revealed the possible villain in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad. According to their report, the space starfish Starro the Conqueror will be the films, primary antagonist. Starro was the first villain that brought the original Justice League together in The Brave and the Bold #28.

Many assumed the character would be confirmed during The Suicide Squad panel later that day but that never happened. Now some have noticed in the officially released behind-the-scenes video (around 0:45) for The Suicide Squad you can see some soldiers (for a literal millisecond) on the ground being attacked by Starro’s minions like a facehugger from Aliens. Which basically confirms Starro indeed comes to the DC Cinematic Universe…
