New SUICIDE SQUAD Team Photo; Director Praises Leto and Affleck
A new photo has been released for David Ayer's Suicide Squad, and it features the team of villains ready for action! The photo features Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Killer Croc (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), Katana (Karen Fukuhara), Rick Flagg (Joel Kinnaman), Deadshot (Will Smith), and Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney).
During an interview with USA Today, the director talked about this team of characters:
“We all need good guys and everything — yay, good guys — but at the end of the day, they’re kinda boring.They’re always going to do the right thing. When you’re dealing with the baddies, it’s easy to get ahead of the audience and invert expectations.”
He also went on to praise Jared Leto as Joker saying, “He’s the king of Planet Joker." And when talking about Ben Affleck's Batman in the movie he said:
“We made him fight. He’s awesome (as Batman). ... You really sense that but for the grace of God he himself would be doing some really foul stuff out in the world.”
Affleck can't say much about his part in the movie, but he did say:
“It felt like I have such a cool cousin. This thing that is so awesome is somehow related to me, and that was really exciting because it started to feel like a constellation of things, and I’ve never had that feeling.”
This seems like it's going to be one hell of a crazy movie. I'm more excited for this than I am Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Suicide Squad is set to be released this summer on August 5th, 2016. Expect to see a new trailer soon!
