The Suicide Squad has a Guardians of the Galaxy cameo that's flown under the radar, according to director James Gunn.

"People know I almost cast Dave [Bautista] in a role and he couldn't do it, so he didn't. But other than that, well, there might be a Guardian somewhere in the film that no one has seen yet, and I'm so surprised by... I've gotten a hundred reviews from this movie and I just am astounded," Gunn told the Happy Sad Confused podcast. 

Bautista ended up choosing a starring role in Army of the Dead, Zack Snyder's latest zombie movie, over a part in The Suicide Squad. "I was all up for it, and then I got Army of the Dead, which was not only a lead role for me, but also I really wanted to work with Zack Snyder. I've been wanting to work with him for years," the actor explained earlier this year.
