Weasel, Peacemaker, and Polka-Dot Man Shine in New ‘Suicide Squad’ Trailer
They brought in all of the weirdos for this one.
In case you missed it, the official nsfw red band trailer has even more footage…
There are some familiar faces from David Ayer’s take. There are also a ton of new ones, this cast is huge – Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, Joel Kinnaman, John Cena, Viola Davis, Jai Courtney, Michael Rooker, Flula Borg, David Dastmalchian, Daniela Melchior, Steve Agee, Mayling Ng, Peter Capaldi, Alice Braga, Pete Davidson, Nathan Fillion, Sean Gunn, Storm Reid, Taika Waititi, Joaquín Cosío, and Juan Diego Botto. And Sylvester Stallone as King Shark.
The official synopsis…
Welcome to hell—a.k.a. Belle Reve, the prison with the highest mortality rate in the US of A. Where the worst Super-Villains are kept and where they will do anything to get out—even join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X. Today’s do-or-die assignment? Assemble a collection of cons, including Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, Ratcatcher 2, Savant, King Shark, Blackguard, Javelin and everyone’s favorite psycho, Harley Quinn. Then arm them heavily and drop them (literally) on the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese. Trekking through a jungle teeming with militant adversaries and guerrilla forces at every turn, the Squad is on a search-and-destroy mission with only Colonel Rick Flag on the ground to make them behave…and Amanda Waller’s government techies in their ears, tracking their every movement. And as always, one wrong move and they’re dead (whether at the hands of their opponents, a teammate, or Waller herself). If anyone’s laying down bets, the smart money is against them—all of them.
I am really excited about this. The cast is great, it looks like it’s got the attitude/humor down, and it’s got epic (and appropriately goofy) fights and monsters. It was also shot entirely on IMAX cameras, so if you have a safe IMAX theater near you check their schedule.
The Suicide Squad explodes into theaters and HBOMax on August 6.
