Set to the strains of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”, the second trailer for David Ayer’s The Suicide Squad looks just as good as the first (which might have been the best trailer released last year without Star Wars in it). I cannot wait to see Jared Leto’s take on The Joker, but in every still and clip, Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn is just owning this movie. This is going to make her an international superstar. New official plot synopsis below. To be honest, I’m looking forward to this way more than I am Batman vs. Superman.
It feels good to be bad…Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?
The movie hits theaters on August 5, 2016.
Is it possible this is as dark and unhinged as it looks? Dare I even hope? This looks SO much better than BvS. And maybe it’s the choice of Queen over the BeeGees (and whatever the choice comes up in life, you ALWAYS choose Queen over the BeeGees) but this trailer just excited me a whole lot more than the first one. I was wrong to think that starting with the psychopaths was a bad move for WB, but to be fair I never guessed for one minute that SS was going to be as good as this appears to be. Anyone more interested in Superman than THIS has no pulse.

Another brilliant trailer and this is beginning to creep on Civil War as a tie to my most-anticipated comic book film. I think they’ll have to keep it PG-13, but they can do that and make it as dark as it looks as long as they watch the things the MPAA really cares about (ex. smoking, teen partying, nipples).
