Adam Beach Gives Details About His Character In Suicide Squad

While doing the press rounds for Lawrence Roeck's Diablo, where he stars opposite Walter Goggins (The Hateful Eight), Scott Eastwood (Fury), Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon), and Camilla Belle (The Ballad of Jack and Rose), actor Adam Beach took time to speak about his next high-profile gig, David Ayer's Suicide Squad, where he plays an assassin nicknamed Slipknot.

"My version is basically a guy who’s just pissed off to be there, he’s an angry boy," Beach said of his character. "But ya know, he’s like everybody else, he is a hired mercenary, assassin killer, so you know that paying the right money and he’ll get the job done. And as long as I kept that nature about him that he can in any minute hang you with his ropes or stab you in the back, he is as worse as the Joker and Deadshot and Harley Quinn."

From what he have seen of Ayer's superhero supervillain movie, Slipknot is the least outlandish looking character in the group, but "I’m kind of in this heavy rope gear," he explained, "I’m basically like if sh*t happens, I’m like the escape plan, I’ll get everybody out of there."

Slipknot thing in case you haven't realized by now is ropes. The villain uses them in a variety of clever and inventive ways, and judging from Beach's training we will be seeing them in the movie.

"Give me a rope and I can fight with it, I can tie you up," he added. "They were teaching me a move where if you try to throw a punch, I can use a rope to grab that punch, put the rope around your neck and just drop my weight and it snaps your neck. There’s a lot of martial art skills you can use with the rope and it was pretty cool, man!"

Set to open on August 5, 2016, Suicide Squad also stars Will Smith, Jared Leto, Margot Robbie, Jai Courtney, Jay Hernandez, Karen Fukuhara, Joel Kinnaman, Viola Davis, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Cara Delevingne, Scott Eastwood, Jim Parrack, and Ike Barinholtz.
