Portuguese actress Daniela Melchior makes her Hollywood debut as Cleo Cazo, aka Ratcatcher 2, in The Suicide Squad, directed by Guardians of the Galaxy’s James Gunn.

In the movie, a group of convicted supervillains are conscripted into Task Force X, a shady government-run operation headed by Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) and sent on a suicide mission to the island of Corto Maltese to destroy a deadly threat to the US.

Daniela (24) was one of hundreds of actresses from around the world who auditioned for the role of Ratcatcher 2 (in the DC Comics, her dad is the Ratcatcher, a Batman villain), a supervillain who can control swarms of rodents.
