** I personally don’t see that happening since they’re bringing back Captain Boomerang, who fulfills the role of obnoxious jackass. Given Boomerang always makes it through every mission in the comics and he’s popular enough to be one of only four characters who’s returning, I think he’s definitely safe, which means that any other character who comes across a similarly obnoxious douchebag is in danger of getting the axe, since they probably won’t want two or more of the same archetype present on the main squad. Davidson almost exclusively seems to play obnoxious douchebag, so I’m inclined to think he’ll play one here and die.

However, I’m more bringing this up as a more or a possibility than a real prediction. The role was apparently written with James Gunn’s fiend Dave Bautista in mind, which makes me think it’ll be a decently sized part.

[[WMG: Ratcatcher's running gag will be that she's always talking to her rats as if they're sentient.]]
[[spoiler:A Funko Pop leak confirmed that she's named at least one (Sebastian)]], and considering she's a goofier concept for a character to begin with, being a CloudCuckooLander who's so into her job as "Lord Of The Rats" that she thinks she can communicate with them would seem like a fun direction to take the character.

** Counterargument; Bloodsport could probably be killed off to give an opening for Deadshot to return in a potential sequel. The character was originally written to be Deadshot, but if Will Smith returns, to have Bloodsport and Deadshot in the same movie might seem redundant. They might kill Bloodsport off to avoid that.

** Counterargument; Rick Flag seemingly died decently early on in the original John Ostrander run, which this movie has said to be taking lots of inspiration from. He was presumed dead for 18 years until 2007. Joel Kinnaman was also one of the people saying to not get attached. Rick Flag dying would be something unexpected, with source material still being very available.

[[WMG: Ranking Likelihood of Death]]
* Harley Quinn: Safe (I mean come on, it’s obvious)
* Amanda Waller: Safe (Waller never dies, it won’t happen here)
* Captain Boomerang: Safe (Boomerang always makes it out against all odds, and the fact that he’s being brought back for this one despite being a minor role in the first makes me think James Gunn likes the character and actor and wants to do more with him)
* King Shark: Safe (A squad mainstay who has recently experienced a huge surge in popularity. I really doubt they’re gonna kill off a character who’s recently become so beloved, especially since it seems like he’ll be based on his wildly popular portrayal in WesternAnimation/HarleyQuinn)
* Rick Flagg: Safe (The team leader who always survivors to call the shots once more, and the fact that he’s looking more comic accurate this time means they’ll probably try to do him justice unlike the last film, which would be harder to do if they killed him)
* Ratcatcher 2: Probably Safe (The character could bite it, but considering this is a brand new, genderbent incarnation I doubt that Gunn will kill her off))
* Bloodsport: Probably Safe (The new leading man filling in for Deadshot, so he looks pretty safe, but I could imagine the possibility of him getting a big HeroicSacrifice near the end given the character’s obscurity. However, I’m guessing that won’t happen and they’ll leave him open to continue appearing)
* Polka Dot Man: Probably Safe (He might die, but I think he’s gonna be a fan favorite who the average person will think is a JokeCharacter, but will prove to be a useful badass. At the very least, even if he winds up dead, it’ll happen close to the end)
* Sol Soria: Probably Safe (First off, apparently she’s an ally to the squad and not a member, meaning she’s likely more innocent than them. She also appears to be a genderbent character, and as I noted, making a new character like that could help, cause would they want to kill off this new incarnation? However, if they want a sad moment, killing off a more innocent revolutionary could make it happen. Granted we don’t know just how innocent she is)
* Weasel: Leaning Towards Dead (On one hand he’s played by the director’s brother and could be a sort of TeamPet like character, but there’s already the [[UglyCute cuter]] King Shark, and Weasel is comparatively unknown and less successful on the squad in the comics. I think he’ll make it a decent way into the film, but I am expecting right now that he’ll probably die)
* Peacemaker: Leaning Towards Dead (On one hand, he’s played by the ever popular MemeticBadass John Cena who’s clearly being built up as one of the film’s stars. However, that means he could easily be a perfect SacrificialLion. There’s also the fact that his character seems like an unstable man who could definitely end up rebelling. He could make it through here, but I think he seems ripe for a surprise death)
* Savant: Probably Dead (I think he’ll get some cool moments and last awhile, but something about Michael Rooker in that silly costume just screams death.
* Mongal: Probably Dead (Worth noting, she’s not part of the team. Based on comics she should be the most powerful person here, but I feel like that means she’ll be end up dying either as a SacrificialLion or in a HeroicSacrifice.
* The Thinker: Probably Dead (Right now I’m thinking he’ll take on a villainous role given his character is treacherous in the comics and he just looks so dastardly here. If he stays on the squad’s side, I think he could survive though, but I’m not predicting that)
* TDK: Dead (He’ll got some time to shine and get to show off his hilarious powers, but I just have an unshakable feeling that he’s a goner)
* Javelin: Dead (As much as I want to see Flula Borg impaling people with a javelin as a former Olympic athletes turned criminal, I don’t see how a character like this lasts too long. Captain Boomerang is already the team’s ImprobableWeaponUser and I don’t see how Javelin outlasts him. Him getting to the first act would be lucky. He’ll get some time to show off a bit though)
* Blackguard: So Fucking Dead (There’s no way this guy lasts long. In addition to being an obscure and uninteresting character, he’s being played by a questionable actor, has a generic costume, and Davidson was apparently listed as a cameo. The man’s clearly a goner)

* King Shark will very likely make it out fine due to his profile and popularity greatly rising recently, especially since it looks like he’ll be based on his extremely loved portrayal in WesternAnimation/HarleyQuinn. The fact that he’s even going to be one of the main characters in the Suicide Squad video game helps his chances as well. Same goes for Harley and Boomerang.

The first movie was widely criticized for having too many characters, meaning that a lot of them got pushed to the side without proper characterization or plot use. So the idea that they’d introduce us to an even bigger squad feels like it’s a setup for a ton of them to die.
Specifically, I believe a decent amount of characters will die early in the mission, and tune well probably see a couple more go along the way too.

Davidson seems so wildly out of place in this story and cast that it makes a lot more sense for him to be a JokeCharacter who dies early on than to actually be part of the squad. At least let’s hope so, cause Davidson’s a shit actor.

Let's be honest, it would be more surprising if he wasn't. This is definitely the type of character he would play, in the vein of Korg and IG-11. It's also pretty suspicious that Taika was the only one on the cast list whose character wasn't confirmed in the teaser.
