The Suicide Squad: Margot Robbie Teases “Gravitas” of Peter Capaldi’s Thinker

The Suicide Squad is a project that partially thrives on highlighting lesser-known characters and casting non-traditional blockbuster actors to bring them to life. This is certainly the case with Peter Capaldi. The 63-year-old Scottish actor was a comedic character actor known for his hilariously crass portrayal of The Thick of It‘s Malcolm Tucker long before he became a nerd household name as the Twelfth Doctor in Doctor Who.

The two have often been an item—either platonic, romantic, or something in-between—in the comic book universe, but have also seen some seriously romantic storytelling in HBO Max’s Harley Quinn animated TV show. One Harley-centric story in which the green…
