An unlisted YouTube video with the new trailer circulated online with the title “The Suicide Squad – Early Access Trailer Do Not Share.” Intentional or not, Gunn tweeted that some of the cast members released the trailer online earlier than expected.
The movie sees the squad being recruited by Amanda Waller on a mission to destroy a Nazi-era prison and laboratory.
Newcomers to the team will include John Cena as Peacemaker, Idris Elba as Bloodsport, David Dastmalchian as Polka-Dot Man, Alice Braga as Sul Soria, Daniela Melchior as Ratcatcher 2, Nathan Fillion as T.D.K., Mayling Ng as Mongal, Michael Rooker as Savant, Pete Davidson as Blackguard, Peter Capaldi as Thinker, Sean Gunn as Weasel and Flula Borg as Javelin.
During this time, Warner Bros offered the filmmaker an opportunity to play with some of the most obscure villains from DC Comics’ extensive lineup of characters.
