Warner Bros. is capitalizing on the belovedValentine’s Dayholiday today by showcasing a new poster for their superhero adventureSuicide Squadon the film’sTwitterpage. Now, whileSuicide Squadmight not be the perfect “date movie,” it does have an unusual romance at it’s core, showcasing the relationship between Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) and The Joker (Jared Leto). This poster doesn’t necessarily offer a traditional Valentine’s Day message, but it does showcase bizarre, artistic renditions of both Joker and Harley Quinn.
The all-star ensemble cast for Suicide Squad includesWill Smith(Deadshot),Margot Robbie(Harley Quinn),Jared Leto(The Joker),Jai Courtney(Boomerang),Joel Kinnaman(Rick Flagg),Cara Delevingne(Enchantress),Viola Davis(Amanda Waller), Karen Fukuhara (Katana)Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje(Killer Croc), andJay Hernandez(El Diablo). Created by Robert Kanigher and Ross Andru for DC Comics in 1959, the Suicide Squad follows a group of super villains tasked by the U.S. Government to pull off a secret mission. The catch is that is will be nearly impossible, and most of them, if not all, will return in body bags. If they make it out alive, they will be rewarded their freedom.
The supporting cast includes a supporting cast that includesScott Eastwood,Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje,Ike Barinholtz,Ray Olubowale,Alex Meraz,Jim ParrackandCommon.
