We haven’t seen much in the way of marketing for the upcoming Suicide Squad, but now that the films August release is nearing, it looks as though that will be changing soon.
In an interview with USA Today, the film’s director, David Ayer explained:
“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.”
That’s not to say there won’t be a hero in the film, Ben Affleck’s Batman is due to appear in the film and Ayer reveals:
“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.”
Of course you couldn’t have a film with Batman and Harley Quinn without including the Clown Prince of Crime, The Joker, due to be played by Jared Leto. Speaking about the character Ayer says:
“He’s the king of Planet Joker.”
Along with the interview we were also treated to a brand new picture of the titular team assembled, giving us a new look at Deadshot (Will Smith), Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney), Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman), Killer Croc (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) and Katana (Karen Fukuhara)
With the film drawing closer, we are likely to start seeing more from the film in the coming months.
