The first social media reactions to The Suicide Squad hit earlier today, and director James Gunn has followed-up with a new 3-minute featurette for what many are hailing as the best DC Films Universe feature yet.
The video features Gunn and the main cast members introducing their characters and revealing a little about each of them, while also spotlighting some funny, exciting new footage. Plus, we get a brief first glimpse of Sean Gunn as Calendar Man alongside some other Bell Reve inmates.
What a nice bunch! Check out the new promo below, and let us know if you're looking forward to The Suicide Squad in the comments.
"Welcome to hell — a.k.a. Bell Reve, the prison with the highest mortality rate in the US of A. Where the worst Super-Villains are kept and where they will do anything to get out — even join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X. Today's do-or-die assignment? Assemble a collection of cons, including Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, Ratcatcher 2, Savant, King Shark, Blackguard, Javelin, and everyone's favorite psycho, Harley Quinn. Then arm them heavily and drop them (literally) on the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese."
"Trekking through a jungle teeming with militant adversaries and guerrilla forces at every turn, the Squad is on a search-and- destroy mission with only Colonel Rick Flag on the ground to make them behave...and Amanda Waller’s government techies in their ears, tracking their every movement. And as always, one wrong move and they’re dead (whether at the hands of their opponents, a teammate, or Waller herself). If anyone’s laying down bets, the smart money is against them—all of them."
We recently found out that the movie was officially rated R for "strong violence and gore, language throughout, some sexual references, drug use and brief graphic nudity."
The Suicide Squad is set to premiere on HBO Max and in theaters on August 6.
