We're now just a few weeks away from the theatrical and streaming release of The Suicide Squad, and excitement for GOTG director James Gunn's first foray into the DC Films Universe is beginning to build as more new footage finds its way online.
Following that awesome King Shark promo, Gunn has shared a 2-minute RED camera featurette for the movie which contains plenty of action-packed new shots of Task Force X fighting for their lives on the island of Corto Maltese.
There's nothing too spoiler-y here, but we've been able to piece a few things together about the plot - more specifically, who won't be making it to the end credits - from this video, so if you want to go in completely fresh you may want to give it a miss.
"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.
