** Counterargument: She promises to keep Bloodsport safe in the trailer, in the new rain trailer we see her summon an army of rats and seems to have a sad smile on her face looking at an approaching threat. That pretty much screams {{HeroicSacriface}} while keeping her word.

[[WMG: The Polka-Dot Man tried to be a hero.]]
Based on his "I'm a superhero!" line from the "Rain" trailer, the Polka-Dot Man was someone who was inspired by Superman to put on a costume and try to make the world a better place as a superhero. But his first outing went so disastrously wrong that it resulted in him being labelled a supervillain and thrown in prison. His depressed, death seeking demeanor is the result of the guilt and shame he feels over being a complete failure.

* More or less confirmed via WordOfGod. Granted, only two members of the squad died in the previous film, so beating those numbers while still allowing several characters to live could be done be fairly easily.

* Peacemaker is set to have his own SpinOff so unless the show is a prequel or part of a different continuity, he seems safe as well.

He's pretending to be dumb so that people will underrate him, and he's actually a cunning individual.

[[WMG:One or more of the Squad members will appear to die early on, only to show up again later brainwashed into serving Starro]]
Which will probably lead to them ''actually'' dying, since I doubt anyone on the team has qualms about pulling ShootTheHostage.

Of these, only Flag is shown in scenes with the film's primary team. In [[https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Doom_Patrol_and_Suicide_Squad_Special_Vol_1_1 Doom Patrol and Suicide Squad Special #1]], Flag is the sole survivor of a team that goes on a mission to Nicaragua. Notably, this team includes Weasel and the original Thinker, both characters in this movie.

mentioned that Peacemaker is getting his own show, so he may not die


[[WMG: Peacemaker could end up being a SacrificialLion]]
It would be the ultimate troll move. Casting MemeticBadass Wrestling/JohnCena in a role, tricking people into thinking he’ll be this totally awesome fan favorite, and then kill him early into the story.

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 friend Dave Bautista in mind, which makes me think it’ll be a decently sized part.

** 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.

** 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; if a female character does die, it'll probably be her; Juan Soria, the character she's apparently based on, only appeared in two comics ''ever'' and died in his second appearance. Even the comics version Blackguard has more to his name!

** Counterarguement: He's getting his own HBO Max show,and I don't think that many people would watch a prequel about someone who we've already seen die. Of course I could be wrong.

* A batch of character posters contain each character being surrounded by multiple objects. The Thinker's poster has many purple and blue starfish, which is what Starro looks like.

[[WMG:The Thinker is actually TheManBehindTheMan for Starro.]]
There have been two hints establishing this theory:
* Firstly, there was a scene in the trailer where Rick Flag, Harley Quinn and Bloodsport threatened the Thinker with death if he does something suspicious.
* A batch of character posters contain each character being surrounded by multiple objects. The Thinker's poster has many purple and blue starfish, which is what Starro looks like.

[[WMG: Bloodsport's team is sent in after Harley's team fails.]]
When I was watching the trailer, I noticed that Bloodsport, Ratcatcher, Peacemaker, Polka Dot Man, and King Shark, don't interact with many of the other characters. My theory is that they are the 2nd team sent in after the Squad Harley is a part of jacks up something royal, or goes missing.

** Counterargument: He appears in the trailer alongside other members that are clearly goners. He doesn’t have a single scene with a core team, meaning he could be the first ScarificialLion of the film.
