Taika Waititi is now an actor in as many DC movies as Marvel. Waititi rose to international fame in 2014 thanks to What We Do In The Shadows, a vampire comedy mockumentary co-written and co-directed by him, in which he also starred as Viago Von Dorna Schmarten Scheden.
In 2017, he ed the MCU by directing Marvel’s MCU, he was part of DC’s superhero world, and has now been in as many movies in DC’s universe as in Marvel’s.
Back in 2011, Waititi was part of Martin Campbell’s cast for James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad in an undisclosed role, making that two appearances in DC properties and two in Marvel.
That is, of course, without counting his work as director in the MCU. The Suicide Squad are not part of the same Extended Universe.
Waititi is as versatile a director as he is as an actor, and he’s part of a selected group of actors that have been in both DC and Marvel’s universes at some point. It’s yet to be seen if Waititi's role in The Suicide Squad will be via motion capture (like Korg) or not – though if he does appear as he is, it would make a fun distinction as his appearances in the MCU would have all been through mo-cap, and his DC roles will be live-action ones.
