Is this the real life? Did Warner Bros. really greenlight a movie with only DC Comics supervillains? Yes, the first trailer for Suicide Squad is here, proving that we haven’t been dreaming.
With Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” blaring behind them, Deadshot (Will Smith), Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney), Enchantress (Cara Delevingne), Rick Flagg (Joel Kinnaman), Killer Croc (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), Slipknot (Adam Beach) and El Diablo (Jay Hernandez) go on a dangerous mission that no sane person will go on. It looks like The Joker (Jared Leto) is on the loose and they need to stop him, if Harley can figure out which side she’s on.
Technically, the trailer shown on The CW Tuesday night is Suicide Squad’s first trailer. In July, Warner Bros. did show a sizzle reel at San Diego Comic Con and wound up posting it online after it leaked.
Suicide Squad hits theaters on Aug. 5. It was directed by Fury’s David Ayer.
