The first official trailer for the upcoming DC Comics movie Suicide Squad has been released.
Directed by David Ayer (Fury, Sabotage, Street Kings), the movie stars Will Smith as Floyd Lawton/Deadshot, Jared Leto as The Joker, Margot Robbie as Dr. Harleen F. Quinzel/Harley Quinn, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Waylon Jones/Killer Croc and Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman.
For the uninitiated: Suicide Squad (a.k.a “Task Force X”) is a group of villains who are (forcefully) recruited by Amanda Waller to complete deadly missions. For obvious reasons, the trailer does not reveal the exact mission for which they have been assembled in this movie.
Check out the trailer:
I was not a big fan of the Comic Con trailer. But this trailer looks promising. Set to the song “Bohemian Rhapsody” by the British rock band Queen, this one manages to differentiate the movie from the unnecessarily serious trailers we have seen for the other DC Extended Universe movie - Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Jared Leto seems to be a great casting choice as The Joker. Margot Robbie and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje also look to be having fun with Harley Quinn and Killer Croc respectively.
The major drawback is Will Smith as Deadshot. He is way too serious. His casting is understandable: The Studio wanted a big name actor to ensure a decent opening for the movie. But Will probably wanted a bigger role for himself. This is pretty obvious considering that Deadshot is on an equal footing with Rick Flagg (Joel Kinnaman), the squad leader. At least, Rick manages to land a line in the trailer.

As readers might know, Tom Hardy was first cast as Rick Flagg. But supposedly, his scheduling conflicts due to the then ongoing Leo DiCaprio movie, The Revenant made him skip Suicide Squad. We can only speculate.....
Even the usually dull as dishwater, Jai Courtney seems to be enjoying himself as Captain Boomerang.
Looks like David Ayer has finally managed to make an enjoyable DC Comics movie since Christopher Nolan left the DC Universe.
If this movie is even half as much fan as the animated movie Batman: Assault on Arkham, we are in for a major treat.

You're right - the trailer looks better but I'm still less than enthused. Having seen Sabotage, I think I know what to expect and I want cape films I can take my children to, not kill fests with psychopaths.
ReplyDeleteThanks GK for stopping by.
DeleteI have not seen any of David Ayer's previous movies and this will be my first one. So there is a novelty factor for me there.
I agree that this movie might be a bit too much for young children. I do appreciate the studio for having the guts to make a movie that may not appeal to the most important demographic of all: kids.
