Here is our first proper glimpse at Joel Kinnaman's Rick Flagg (a role originally intended for Tom Hardy), the military commando tasked with leading the Suicide Squad in the field. How do you transport a man who can summon fire out of nowhere? By drenching him in water, of course.Īnd how do you transport a powerful, man-eating crocodile mutant? Very carefully, Hannibal Lecter-style. And somehow, he appears to be up to the task. Is Courtney the comic relief of this movie? It certainly looks like it. It takes an entire team of armed guards to bring in Deadshot, who cracks "What is this? Cheerleading tryouts?" As far as hokey Will Smith one-liners go, this one is a solid B+.Ĭourtney's Captain Boomerang is literally transported to the scene in a bodybag and he comes out swinging. This is the part of the trailer where each member of the title team is forcibly rounded up to serve the greater good. There are many colorful characters in this movie, but she may be the one we're most eager to see in action. This is the woman who can stare Batman in the eye without blinking. She organizes the Suicide Squad, pulls their strings, and knows exactly what's going on when everyone else is in the dark. This government operative may not have any powers (unless you count her endless bureaucratic resources and nerves of steel), but she is this universe's biggest mover and shaker. She may not have much to do in this trailer, but Amanda Waller is a big deal in the DC universe and the immeasurably talented Viola Davis seems like a perfect fit for the part. He's most definitely not a leading man I like watching.but maybe he's a wacky character actor I want to watch as long as he's allowed to keep his natural Australian accent? Courtney is more entertaining and watchable in this trailer than in all of his major roles combined and his Captain Boomerang looks appropriately unhinged and odd and hilarious.
He's impossibly wooden in Terminator: Genisys and A Good Day to Die Hard. Look, I have little love for Jai Courtney.
SUICIDE SQUAD HD SCREENIE MOVIE
As we'll soon see, Suicide Squad takes place in a DC movie universe where crazy powers like this are accepted and dealt with, which is a nice change of pace from the great-but-grounded Dark Knight trilogy. Next up is Jay Hernandez's El Diablo, who gets a surprising amount of screen time in the trailer. This movie doesn't just feature Killer Croc (played by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), it takes place in a world where his prison cell has his own personal pond. This is the shot where a few skeptics may start to find themselves coming around. Still, it's impressive how little this trailer leans on his star power – it's great to see him as part of the ensemble, but this movie knows that it has more to offer than a single actor.
First up is Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn, introduced making the most out of a bad situation. It's nice to know that the Joker's former shrink didn't completely abandon her intellectual side when she went completely and totally insane.Īnd here is Will Smith's master marksman Deadshot, looking very much like Will Smith. You can barely make it out the image above, but the words "Firm but fair"are scrawled on the walkway, which is advice that we bet the guards here regularly ignore.Īs Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" plays on the soundtrack, we start to meet the main players. The trailer opens in what appears to be Belle Reve, the DC universe's main penitentiary and the second most escapable place in the world (the first being Arkham Asylum, of course). If you fear any kind of potential spoiler, think twice before trekking ahead. One quick note before we begin: this post contains no actual spoilers, but it will feature a ton of speculation, some of which is fueled by rumors that have appeared online. This thing begs for a frame-by-frame breakdown. At the same time, it's bursting with mysterious images, insane moments, and surprising beats. While the trailer does a fairly good job of establishing the basic premise (the government recruits a bunch of imprisoned DC comics super villains into a task force that is forced to go on dangerous missions), it doesn't delve into the plot specifics.
