The Suicide Squad director James Gunn shared a first look at Total Film's newsstand and subscribers only covers yesterday, and the mag has now followed up by debuting a series of brand new stills from the upcoming DC Comics requel.
The images spotlight new Task Force X recruits Bloodsport (Idris Elba), Ratcatcher 2 (Daniela Melchior), Peacemaker (John Cena), Polka-Dot Man (David Dastmalchian) and King Shark as they set about infiltrating the island of Corto Maltese. We also have a behind-the-scenes shot of Gunn and Elba.
Check out the new stills below, and let us know which (if any) of these guys you think has the best chance of surviving the carnage to come.
"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."
The Suicide Squad is set to premiere on HBO Max and in theaters on August 6.
