The much-awaited DC movie "Suicide Squad" seems to be hiding something. Since the movie announced the official list of villains and characters, Ike Barinholtz's role is still unknown. But rumors have it that Barinholtz's unnamed character has been revealed.

Known for his appearance in "The Mindy Project," Barinholtz defined his character as we quote from the Den of Geek.

Citing an interview from Zap2It, he said that "I can tell you my character in that movie is someone you would not want at your house for dinner. He's a very troubled human being."

As vague as it sounds, some movie review and speculation sites like Cinema Blend dissected the actor's mysterious statement thoroughly, citing two possible villains.

One that landed based on their deduction skills is the insane medical professional Doctor Strange.

DC enthusiasts undeniably know that Doctor Strange is a big threat to the Gotham's superhero. The deranged Doctor notably holds the key against Batman, for he is the sole character that knows Bruce Wayne's origin. Looking at the metaphorical aspect of Barinholtz's statement, Doctor Strange might be possible.

Another one that is cited for his role might be Hannibal "Everyman" Bates.

Literally speaking, "someone you would not want at your house for dinner" provides a big chance that the villain might be a cannibalistic one. Given the fact the Killer Croc has already been introduced, which is played by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Hannibal Bates is another relative guess.

The movie consists of Jared Leto as Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Carla Delevigne as Enchantress, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Will Smith as Deadshot, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo and Adam Beach as Slipknot, to name a few. On the other hand, Ben Affleck will be playing Bruce Wayne/ Batman, same as his role on "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" as well.

And for Ike Barinholtz's role, fans might still need to wait a little bit more for the official announcement.

Directed and written by David Ayer, "Suicide Squad" will kick off in theaters on Aug. 5, 2016.
