This Summer a new super-team leaps from the comic book pages to the big screen, but these guys aren't so heroic.
Suicide Squad gathers together the worst psychotic killers, criminals, assassins and mercenaries from the
DC Comics Universe and sends them on the deadliest covert missions in exchange for more lenient prison sentences.
Viola Davis plays
'Amanda Waller', the no-nonsense head of the government sanctioned operation giving the team their orders, whilst
Joel Kinnaman is
'Rick Flag', the military leader of this
'Task Force X', with the sword-wielding
'Katana' (Karen Fukuhara) his second-in-command, trying to maintain order.
Will Smith stars as the expert marksman
'Deadshot' and reunites with his
Focus movie co-star
Margot Robbie, who plays the more than slightly unhinged fan-favourite (and
Joker's main squeeze)
'Harley Quinn'.
Speaking of
Batman's arch-foe, recent
Oscar-winner
Jared Leto brings a new insane incarnation of the
'Joker' to life in
Suicide Squad.
Jai Courtney is
'Captain Boomerang' (his name gives away his choice of weapon),
Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje is monstrous
'Killer Croc', Jay Hernandez is the flame-throwing
'Diablo', Adam Beach is the rope-using
'Slipknot' and
Cara Delevingne is the evil
'Enchantress'.
All of these supervillains have different motivations for being on the team, but writer and director
David Ayer is responsible for keeping all these egos in check and giving them all enough screen time to make us give a damn.
Plus let's hope this movie has more humour than the rather joyless
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
These eye-catching, vibrant movie billboards and posters were first spotted along the
Sunset Strip in
West Hollywood on June 30, then later along
Olympic Boulevard, Highland Avenue, Wilshire Boulevard and
Fairfax Avenue through July 14, 2016.
Meanwhile fans of
DC Comics can also enjoy all these cool
movie and TV show billboards based on the comic books filling the city skyline in recent years.
With missions this dangerous, only time will tell whether all of the
Suicide Squad will make it out alive to fight another day, what do you think?
