SUICIDE SQUAD gets a new musical “Blitz” trailer
DC took a nosedive (depending on who you talk to) after the release of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but Suicide Squad is here to save the day. A new trailer for upcoming David Ayer-directed funhouse of a movie makes it look like a blast, features lots of relatively unknown comic book characters, and all but promises to renew our faith in Marvel’s cinema rival. Suicide Squad is DC’s next attempt to cash in on all that superhero moolah, and Internet buzz is still pretty loud for this one.
Watch the new trailer for Suicide Squad after the jump. It’s got plenty of new footage, which has already been dissected and screenshot to death, so tread lightly if you’re not looking to spoil more of the movie than you absolutely have to. *cough* Batman shows up *cough cough*
What do you think? How about that battle damaged Joker? And Margot Robbie just having a blast as Harley Quinn? Personally, I’m looking forward to Suicide Squad more than I am Captain America: Civil War, and I don’t think I’m alone. Civil War looks like it’ll be solid A+ Marvel fare, but Suicide Squad has that edge of madness that’s been missing from big budget superhero blockbusters since Guardians of the Galaxy. Here’s hoping the movie holds up to all our wild expectations, right?
It feels good to be bad…Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?
Suicide Squad stars Will Smith, Jai Courtney, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto, Joel Kinnaman,Scott Eastwood, Ben Affleck, Viola Davis, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Cara Delevingne, Common, Adam Beach, and Jay Hernandez. The movie was directed by David Ayer (Fury, End of Watch) and is scheduled to hit theaters on August 5, 2016.
