Suicide Squad -Justice has a bad side!

The 2016 movie Suicide Squad features a storyline where a secret government agency creates a task force that consists of imprisoned super-villains. They have to execute very dangerous black ops missions in order to earn clemency. Interesting as that plot sounds, I am not here to dwell on it. Instead, I will let you in on interesting information and the latest news and gossip about the movie and its cast and crew.

**Classification
**Suicide Squad is the third installment of the DC Comics. It is classified in five categories namely action, adventure, fantasy, sci-fi, and thriller. Basically, it caters for almost everybody’s interests and that is why one of the producers was quoted saying that they are aiming for a PG – 13.

**Cast Info
**The film is directed by David Ayer (took the offer in September 2014) and co-written by David Ayer and John Ostrander. It has a star-filled cast.

Margot Robbie
She plays the role of Harley Quinn. Richard Suckle (a producer) recently showered her with praise stating that she is a “fan fave” who portrays the “funny, crazy, scary” role perfectly. He added that “You can't come up with enough adjectives to describe all the different things you see her do”. She is one of the two cast members (the other one is Will Smith) who have been spotted with "SKWAD" tattoos. Robbie’s role was arguably the most competitive and at one point Emma Roberts was considered for it. She turned it down for a role in Scream Queens.

Will Smith
Will plays Deadshot. He was so committed to his role that he spent some training time with Army Rangers and Navy Seals where he took firing lessons.

_**Jared Leto
**_When Jared was asked about his acceptance to portray Joker, he said that it was a “pretty deep dive” and further described the psychopathic role as “nearly Shakespearean”. He seems to be a perfect fit for the role and it is hard to think that Ryan Gosling was the first option. It has been reported that Leto was so immersed in his role that he wouldn’t break out of it (the Joker character) even when he wasn’t being filmed. In fact, he went further and sent his cast members (Will Smith, Margot Robbie, and Scott Eastwood) Joker-like gifts.

_**Viola Davis
**_She plays Amanda Waller and was quoted saying that she was fascinated by the fact that Waller is a "powerful black woman” whose powers include “intelligence” and “complete lack of guilt”. In order to portray the role perfectly, Davis read M. E. Thomas' Confessions of a Sociopath.

_**Jai Courtney
**_He plays Boomerang and once stated that David Ayer’s first instruction with regard to the role was “find your inner shitbag”.

_**Jay Hernandez
**_Hernandez says that his character as El Diablo “just wants to stay out of the fight”.

Joel Kinnaman plays Rick Flag
Adewale Akinnouye-Agbaje plays Killer Croc
Ben Affleck portrays Batman
Karen Fukuhara portrays Tatsu Yamashiro/Katana
Cara Delevingne plays June Moon/Enchantress

Enjoy the 1st official trailer below.

It has been reported that the movie has some pretty dark scenes that an on-set therapist was hired for the cast. Suicide Squad will be released on 5th of August. The date will be the 50th anniversary of the Joker’s live action debut. Mark your calendars folks!
