The Suicide Squad director James Gunn has confirmed that Sylvester Stallone is a part of the DC movie’s cast. Gunn took to Instagram to reveal the news.

Gunn has both written and directed The Suicide Squad.

He shared a photo of himself with Stallone and wrote in the caption, “Always love working with my friend @officialslystallone & our work today on #TheSuicideSquad was no exception. Despite Sly being an iconic movie star, most people still don’t have any idea what an amazing actor this guy is. 🙌”
