El Diablo

Recommended Videos

You might call El Diablo a villain, but we prefer to think of him as having died a hero. He sacrificed himself to save a team of worthless individuals and the entire world, so you can’t really deny that he turned a corner before his untimely demise.

Sure, there were a lot of things wrong with David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, but El Diablo was one of the shining lights in the film (pardon the pun). Whereas every other character had a bloated or confusing arc, his remained steady as someone seeking redemption for what he’d done, and he eventually found his solace in death. But wouldn’t you want to see him return in Gavin O’Connor’s Suicide Squad 2?

Jay Hernandez’s El Diablo was as comic book-accurate as they come and he tapped into exactly what makes him tick. Using him for a one-and-done appearance doesn’t do the character or the performer any justice. At the end of the day, he deserves to appear in the sequel at the very least, right?
