Everything We Know About the 2016 Superhero Movies

Suicide Squad – August 5, 2016

Warner Bros. Pictures has been developing a feature film adaptation for Task Force X for many years, but the film will finally see the light of day next year thanks to director David Ayer.

Leading the all-star cast of antiheroes is Will Smith as the assassin that never misses, Deadshot, along with Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flagg, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo, Adam Beach as Slipknot, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller and Jared Leto as the Joker.

Ike Barinholtz, Scott Eastwood, Raymond Olubowale, Alex Meraz, Jim Parrack, and Common will all also be a part of the cast, though their roles currently remain a mystery.

Ben Affleck’s Batman will also appear in the film, as the caped crusader can be seen in the Comic-Con reel for the film, but Affleck was also spotted on the set. Early reports indicated that Jesse Eisenberg was in talks to reprise the role of Lex Luthor for the film, though it remains unconfirmed if he will appear.

Much like his deep dives for getting into character for other roles, we know that Jared Leto did some outlandish things to prepare for and stay in character as The Joker. He sent his co-stars eccentric gifts, including a live rat to Margot Robbie and a dead hog with some bullets to Will Smith. Futhermore, Smith claims he never met the real Jared on the set of the film, he only ever met The Joker.

Some members of the film’s cast, as well as David Ayer, all got tattoos during their filming experience reading “Skwad,” the spelling Ayer has used to promote the film online.

Model-turned-actress Cara Delevingne recently opened up about her role in the film, offering new insight into her duel role of June Moone and the “feral” Enchantress.

“She’s an ancient sorceress,” Delevingne says. “A feral being. She’s been trapped for so long and now she’s finally let out… June is an adventure-seeker who’s always wanted some excitement. And she gets what she wished for, in an terrible way.”
