VIDEO New Suicide Squad trailer - meet the supervillain
Suicide Squad couldn't come at a better time. With Batman v Superman delivering stoic spectacle, DC could do with something a little more light hearted, or at least from a totally different perspective. It's the story of a team made up of the worst supervillains in the DC 'Verse, who are brought out of imprisonment to take on a mission for the side of good. As the worst of the worst, no one is expecting them to survive, which is just how they like it.
Fury and End of Watch director David Ayer is on board for this one, and it's looking like he's conjured up a magical mix of action, over the top characters and some of the most unique visuals we've ever seen in a comic adaptation, especially next to the rather staid stuff in recent Marvel entries, Guardians of the Galaxy aside. There's also a major cast in the offing including Will Smith, Margot Robbie and Jared Leto as Joker.
