The Suicide Squad Star Reacts To Ratcatcher 2 & Peacemaker Fan Art

The Suicide Squad star Daniela Melchior shares a sweet reaction to Ratcatcher 2 and Peacemaker fan art from the film’s climactic Jotunheim scene. Melchior and John Cena first brought the two characters to life in James Gunn’s DC Extended Universe standalone sequel, in which they were recruited by Amanda Waller to head to the fictional South American island of Corto Maltese to eliminate all traces of Starro the Conqueror. Alongside Ratcatcher 2 and Peacemaker, The Suicide Squad featured the DCEU debuts of Idris Elba’s Bloodsport, Sylvester Stallone’s King Shark, David Dastmalchian’s Polka-Dot Man, Nathan Fillion’s T.D.K. and Sean Gunn’s Weasel.

The Suicide Squad also marked the returns of Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn, Joel Kinnaman’s Rick Flag, Viola Davis’ Amanda Waller and Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang. Though the film underperformed at the box office due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the DCEU sequel would prove to be a smash hit for Warner Bros., becoming the most-successful DC film on HBO Max and receiving rave reviews from critics and audiences alike. This success has spawned the John Cena-led spin-off Peacemaker and a newly confirmed second spin-off series, and fans are continuing to show their love for The Suicide Squad.

As the film’s first spin-off continues on HBO Max, The Suicide Squad star Daniela Melchior took to Twitter to share Ratcatcher 2 and Peacemaker fan art drawn by user Talt Lo. The art comes from the movie’s climactic Jotunheim scene in which Ratcatcher 2 crawls into the scene after Peacemaker has killed Rick Flag, to which Melchior expressed her love for the art and made a follow-up post properly crediting Lo.

In addition to sharing her love for Lo’s Ratcatcher 2 and Peacemaker fan art, Melchior has updated her Twitter profile picture to the art of her character. This comes as a sweet ode to Lo and their work recreating the important moment in the DCEU sequel, which led to the spiral of events that would lead to Cena’s spin-off show. Though Rick Flag’s death would seemingly be moved on from pretty quickly after in the film, Peacemaker has received positive attention from viewers for expanding on the emotional consequences Cena’s antihero is experiencing for killing someone he considered to be a hero.

Melchior’s Ratcatcher 2 quickly became a fan-favorite when The Suicide Squad hit theaters and HBO Max in 2021, with the development of the character and Melchior’s emotional performance receiving rave attention. Gunn himself has expressed having loved writing the character during development on the sequel, including having changed her death in the original script due to finding it to be too dark for him and the character. Audiences can revisit Ratcatcher 2 and Peacemaker’s DCEU debut in The Suicide Squad on HBO Max now.
