New Suicide Squad trailer leaks early – and includes a look at what the team are up against
The Suicide Squad's villain is the Star𒊎ro ꧒of the show
The new The Suicide Squad trailer is here. Kinda. Throughout the day, the full-length teaser has been available for a select few on YouTube as part of pre-roll ads. Now, 🌸it's b🐷een leaked as an "unlisted" video likely masquerading as a sneaky marketing ploy.
Showcasing Idris Elba's Bloodsport in a particular tense showdown with Viola Davis' Amanda Waller, The Suicide Squad trailer puts all the pieces together, adds in a dash of crude humor (who had John Cena talking about buttholes on their DC bingo card a few years ago? Own up), and gives us a taste of what's almost certainly going ཧto be the movie's Big Bad. It even makes reference to Bloodsport's past; the villain is incarcerated after shooting Superman with a kryptonite bullet.
But back to the matters at hand: Waller briefs The Suicide Squad on "Project Starfish". The entity is better known as Starro, the starfish-shaped alien supervillain whose intentions are almost certainly going to be world-breaking unless Waller's team ca🔴n bring it to heel. As you can see by the trailer, it doesn't go so well, not least of all for Sylvester Stallone's King Sha💫rk.
Gunn, meanwhile, has leaned into the 'leak' being something by design, expressing his supposed disma🍷y for ac🃏tors releasing the trailer ahead of time.
I can’t believe they would do me like that. 😂 #TheSuicideSquad //t.co/rXUEBOiaqC
Bloodsport nearly fatally wounding the Man of Steel shouldn’t come as a shock to those ඣwho have been following James Gun💛n’s social media in recent weeks.
Gunn revealed Idris Elba’s gun-toting anti🌸-hero is in prison for "taking [Superman] down with a kryptonite bullet. If you believe these covers, he may not be the bad guy in that situati💧on."
The Suicide Squad, which is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:neither a sequel nor a reboot according to Peacemaker actor John Cena, also has 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a locked-in runtime.
