Is Angela Bassett The Nick Fury Of The DC Universe
Angela Bassett as a superhero ball-buster? Sounds perfect. Bassett has accepted a role in the new Green Lantern movie, keeping tabs on the superheroes of Earth, and kicking ass in general. But her role is so much bigger than that.
Variety announced that Bassett will be playing the role of Amanda Waller, a very important figure in the DC Universe. Waller runs the government's Suicide Squad, a group of ex-supervillains who are sent on missions that they're not expected to survive. (Hence the name.) She also helps out with the secret spy organization, Checkmate, and sometimes the mysterious Project Cadmus. And she deals with the Justice League. Which means that not only is the character heavily connected, but that there might be some other DC Universe supers making a cameo down the line. After all, what's the point of throwing in Amanda Waller if you don't mention that she used to work with Lex Luthor? It's a thought, anyway.
