Finally, Warner Bros. have graced us with the ‘official final trailer’, focusing on the woman pulling all the strings, Amanda Waller, played by the Oscar-nominated actor Viola Davis. Attention is also paid to the squad’s leader, Rick Flag, a “natural born leader” who “bleeds red white and blue”.
David Ayers’ much-hyped supervillain movie arrives in UK cinemas on 5 August, with comic book fans excited to see whether Jared Leto can live up to the legacies of Heath Ledger and Jack Nicholson as the Joker.
Costume designer Kate Hawley recently explained how Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn almost wore the classic jester costume: “We actually put it on Margot, and she looked amazing.
“There’s a moment where there’s homage to that very garment. What happens, though, and the way David works … the weight of things change. There’s beats that you think you can establish an arc within and then it changes again.”
Meanwhile, a new one-shot of Cara Delevigne’s Enchantress showed off the character’s new look. Suicide Squad hits UK cinemas 5 August.
