We've seen some snippets of footage from The Suicide Squad as well as separate promo shots of the team members, but director James Gunn has now shared a first official look at his new incarnation of Task Force X together via a pair of Empire Magazine covers!
The covers feature (deep breath): Colonel Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman); Savant (Michael Rooker); Javelin (Flula Borg); Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie); Polka Dot Man (David Dastmalchian); Ratcatcher 2 (Daniela Melchoir); Bloodsport (Idris Elba); King Shark (?); Mongal (Mayling Ng); The Thinker (Peter Capaldi); Blackguard (Pete Davidson); TDK (Nathan Fillion); Weasel (Sean Gunn); Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney); and The Peacemaker (John Cena).
Gunn also joins them for the second cover, which finds the team looking a lot more cheerful.
They make for an eclectic group, but as Gunn cautioned in the past, probably best not to get too attached to any of 'em!
While specific plot details for The Suicide Squad remain under wraps, various rumours have been doing the rounds online since before production even began. Nothing has been confirmed, but a recent BTS featurette did strongly hint that Starro might be one of the big bads.
The Suicide Squad is currently set for release next August.
