With the new Suicide Squad trailer set to be released on Tuesday, David Ayer and the entire cast of the DC Comics adaptation have taken to their various social media accounts to reveal the first official character posters for the movie. As you can see, these take a very different approach to the Photoshopped images we’re used to seeing on marketing materials like this!
As you can see, the posters put the spotlight on The Joker, Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Enchantress, Killer Croc, Rick Flagg, Captain Boomerang, Diablo, Katana, and Slipknot.
It feels good to be bad…Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?
Starring Will Smith, Jared Leto, Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman, Jai Courtney, Cara Delevingne, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje Viola Davis, and Ben Affleck (that’s right, Batman will be making an appearance), Suicide Squad is set to be released on August 5th, 2016.
