SUICIDE SQUAD Director David Ayer Shares New Harley Quinn Concept Art & A VERY Different Look For Incubus

Director David Ayer has shared some more previously unseen Suicide Squad concept art, giving us a look at an early design for Harley Quinn and a very different take on the villainous Incubus.

David Ayer recently revealed that his original vision for Suicide Squad was significantly different to the theatrical version Warner Bros. would ultimately release, maintaining that he made "an amazing movie" that "just scared the shit out of the executives."

While the chances of the filmmaker being given the opportunity to revisit the movie appear to be very slim, he continues to tease the possibility by sharing previously unseen concept art.

Now, Ayer has Tweeted out an alternate design for Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), along with a very different take on Incubus.

The brother of Enchantress (Cara Delevingne), Incubus (Alain Chanoine) was a CG monstrosity introduced as a secondary antagonist that ended up being one of the more maligned aspects of the movie. We don't don't know what Ayer's original plans for the character were in terms of the plot, but this is certainly a more striking, intimidating look for the villain.

Rumors persist that there are plans in place to #ReleaseTheAyerCut at some point, but Warner Bros. boss Ann Sarnoff made it very clear that she has no intention of giving Suicide Squad the Zack Snyder's Justice League treatment, so unless she's had a change of heart over the past few months, we don't see it happening.

I still don't get why he thought that Incubus was a good idea for the movie villain

@AndrewHolland - IIRC his original villain was Steppenwolf, but WB forced him to choose someone else when Snyder picked him for Justice League.

@AndrewHolland - THIS

Why would this version of the Suicide Squad (all gritty and what not), with no heavy hitters whatsoever, fight an inter-dimensional mystical being?

@santoanderson - The art up above made me think of Steppenwolf's armor.

@BlackBeltJones - I think a better plot should've focused on Task Force X retrieving a recently discovered Mother Box that's been sold to the black market.

It'd be a good mix between having a dark and gritty espionage/black ops setting (that's more along the lines of what David Ayer is comfortable with) alongside a fantastical edge to make it stand out.

@demery - this sounds cool. I was always more for them taking out a dictator or extracting a meta human asset from somewhere like BIALYA or Santa Prisca but your idea blends the gritty with the fantastical and that is a sweet spot for this team

Imagine being Margot Robbie, being told you’re going to play this character from a cartoon who dresses like a harlequin, and showing up on the day, and the director hands you a see through fishnet stripper outfit and tells you “that’s your costume”.

@santoanderson - I don't want to imagine being a woman; it would suck because it's a man's world still.

And, as a man, I wouldn't wear that outfit.

@santoanderson - I don't think that's fair. Margot wore revealing clothing in Birds of Prey too and she was a producer. In fact, from what I recall from interviews, she's never had a problem with exploiting her appearance if she feels it serves the story.

@generictheeric - Pretty sure Margot wasn't a fan of the Suicide Squad costume, which is why she tossed it in Birds of Prey. Also, Ayer did a mea culpa over Harley's depiction in that film.

@SonOfAGif - In 5 years that I've been aware of Cosmic Book News, I've never seen anything that didn't resemble the ramblings of an insane person.

His articles are typically titled "FEIGE WRONG AGAIN!".

EDIT: HOLY SHIT, AN EDIT BUTTON. PRAISE BE TO THANOS.

@SonOfAGif - These are just "claims" right now and Marvel Studios is still making billions, so I seriously doubt they are going to f#ck with Kevin.

And, Marvel is NOT "crumbling". Good f#cking grief!!!
