Deathstroke is meant to be a mature, grey haired, battled wisened mercenary so I don't know why they are making him a younger guy - but I'm happy for Manganiello. Suicide Squad has some interesting casting that with the right script, could make it stand out.
Manganiello is 38, not that young by Hollywood standards.
Not necessarily true, plenty of action stars are hitting 50 and still turning up regularly playing much younger men. Keanu Reeves and Tom Cruise being particularly high profile examples, and even the Stath is 47. In fact, a fair chunk of what you'd consider the top young-ish talent in Hollywood are about Manganiello's age. Bradley Cooper is 40 this year, to give another example.
