In addition to these all-new details on Beach's role as Slipknot, an alleged description of an upcoming "Suicide Squad" trailer has surfaced online.

During an interview about his indie western film "Diablo," Adam Beach opened up about his character Christopher Weiss, a.k.a. Slipknot, in the upcoming "Suicide Squad" film (via Rama's Screen).

"My version [of Slipknot] is basically a guy who's just pissed off to be there," Beach explained. "He's an angry boy. 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. That's the beauty of it. We all filled the shoes of these villainous characters that are hired killers and now we're asked to go and save the day in some shape or some form... How do you contain that?!"

"If shit happens, I'm like the escape plan, I'll get everybody out of there. Everybody has their skills," he added.

"My skill is the ropes," he went on. "Give me a rope and I can fight with it... 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!"
