Who will be the big bad of Suicide Squad? That remains to be seen, though Enchantress seems like a fairly safe bet. Asked by Empire Magazine what Task Force X's mission is going to be, director David Ayer wouldn't give any specifics away, but did drop a rather intriguing hint about what they'll be up to. "They're after a high value target that they have to go in and rescue. When they make the attempt, they realise that's not the end." So, things are clearly going to go horribly wrong for the team at some point in the movie, but don't expect a traditional good versus bad story. In fact, the biggest threat to them may just end up coming from within! "F**k good versus bad," Ayer adds. "Bad versus evil is a lot more interesting. And Amanda Waller is the worst there is."
That's right, Task Force X's leader might just be the worst person in Suicide Squad. After all, she's the on responsible for injecting what the magazine describes as "nanobombs" into the neck of each villain to keep them under control. "She's relentless in her villainy," Suicide Squad star Viola Davis explains. "When you look at her, there's nothing that seems dangerous. Her only power is her intelligence and her complete lack of guilt. I read a great book called Confessions of a Sociopath, which was frightening but very helpful..." Could it be that we end up rooting for Task Force X to bring down A.R.G.U.S.? We'll have to wait and see, but let us know your thoughts below.
