Breaking DownThe Suicide Squad‘s Madcap, Bloody Trailer

Warner Bros. has just give the world a new , protracted smell atJames Gunn’sThe Suicide Squad . Who possibly could have guessed that a movie with acast that largewould have a buirdly preview in need of some break down ?

Just based on The Suicide Squad ’s use of Steely Dan ’s “ Dirty Work ” in the new trailer , you’re able to immediately get the very specific James Gunn sort of energy Warner Bros. is wager can get everyone hyped up to seeMargot Robbie’sHarley Quinn reunite with Viola Davis ’ Amanda Waller and Joel Kinnaman ’s Rick Flagg in a what definitely feel like a reboot masquerading as a “ non - sequel . ”

It ’s in the finer inside information , though , that you’re able to see how Gunn plans to squelch these characters up with a slew of raw faces for a deadly mission that ’s going to impart more than a few of them deceased when things are through . While we knew that The Suicide Squad was fix to bring a identification number of classic DC villains to the heavy sieve in new avatar , what ’s interesting to see in the trailer ’s early shots is how this team ’s moral force seems to be far more collaborative than in David Ayer ’s moving picture .

After Harley somehow gets sidetracked in a fashion that might compromise their commission , Peacemaker ( John Cena ) , Polka - Dot Man ( David Dastmalchian ) , Thinker ( Peter Capaldi ) , King Shark ( Steve Agee and Sylvester Stallone ) , and Bloodsport ( Idris Elba ) switch up their plans a bite to retrieve their colleague . What ’s deserving noting here is that it ’s found that Bloodsport ’s intend to take gunpoint on one of the teams being overseen by Waller , while another consist of Javelin ( Flula Borg ) , Captain Boomerang ( Jai Courtney ) Blackguard ( Pete Davidson ) , Monga ( Mayling Ng ) , Weasel ( Sean Gunn ) , T.D.K. ( Nathan Fillion ) , and Savant ( Michael Rooker ) are working on something else .

It’sno surprise that Harley shows up earlygiven how important the character is within Warner Bros. and DC ’s larger portfolio , and the fact that Robbie ’s systematically been one of the brighter lights in what we may or may no longer be referred to as the “ DCEU . ” Where the first Suicide Squad film ended up being about the team rescue Amanda Waller , here the mission they ’re deliver with sends them to Corto Maltese where , apparently , Harley comes nigh to being left behind , but only just , because she ’s Harley goddamned Quinn . She ’s back in her classical black and red motive and will at some point athletics both a gown and a more fight - quick costume reminiscent of her appearances in the Injustice games .

While the trailer does n’t go into detail about why Waller ’s running multiple team at once or whether The Suicide Squad will but see one of the team ’s crepuscle before the other occur into the photo , it does take a moment to remind you what this whole endeavor ’s about . Waller explains that hould any one of the crook she taps to become part of her task force disobey her orders , she ’ll obliterate them on the spot . Dangerous as people like Savant , Blackguard , and Weasel are , Waller ’s offering ( presumably for meter off their sentences ) apparently has some value to it .

Also important to bear in psyche is that Warner Bros. gave James Gunn more or lessfree sovereignty to kill off characters at his discretion . Cheesy sequences like this make it seem as if Captain Boomerang , T.D.K. , and Blackguard may be on the chopping block . Boomerangs can be handy , though , particularly for characters who could end up having a succeeding inWarner Bros. ’ forthcoming Flash filmdepending on which direction the studio apartment resolve to go in .

Delightful as it is to see Harley having fun while being different sorts of fashionable ( and hard-nosed ) , fans are likely to be most excited to see The Suicide Squad ’s take on DC Comics King Shark ( who previously come out on theCW ’s The Flash ) , a massive though dimwitted brute who likes to eat people and ask simple questions .

Much as King Shark might be play for laughs , the trailer also establishes that some of the movie ’s levity will get along from the squad ’s gallows humor that comes to bond at least some of them as they carry out Waller ’s orders . severe as the speak humans - shark is , neither Ratcatcher 2 ( Daniela Melchior ) nor Polka - Dot Man seem especially concerned about being in his presence because the real threat at script is what they ’ve been brought together to face .

How the Thinker ( Doctor Who ’s Peter Capaldi)—also another DC character who appeared onThe FlashTV series — suit into this story is one of the more interesting questions raised by the trailer . He come out to cross paths with Harley and co. while they ’re already in the midst of a mission he was n’t meant to be a part of . Their interrogation of him ’s likely all for show , as the Squad ’s sorely outnumber by the freshly - installed Corto Maltese administration that shoot on sight when they realize noncitizen have invaded their state .

jest about eat dicks are back , manifestly . This allegedly bonds some people together while they ’re trekking through lush , tropical jungle in countries in the midst of political upheaval .

Despite all the bedlam in their life history , most everyone on the Squad ’s still going to manage to find time to political party and get just enough of a good time in to equilibrate out the pic ’s gore and demise . Some of that will be delivered by character like Harley — spotlighted in some impressive action at law sequences — some by King Shark . Ok , maybe a lot from King Shark . The pelting ’s a gracious touch as he deplume apart a poor commando .

But amazingly enough , the Pisces the Fishes - man loan-blend is n’t really the high spot of the trailer .

There ’s always a reason Amanda Waller assault up criminals to do her dirty work for her , and from the expression on everyone ’s faces , she failed to name that they might encounter a monumental alien starfish while on their journeying .

It ’s always been a little iffy just how connected Warner Bros. ’ Suicide Squad films are to the rest of its live - activeness DC projects , but it ’s unlikely that the wildness of The Suicide Squad ’s go to have any substantial impact on the studio ’s other feature where these characters might show up , and aboveboard , that ’s probable for the best . judge by what the studio apartment dropped today , it wants The Suicide Squad to be a ludicrous , fun , romp of a self - contained plastic film entail to make you block about what came before it in hopes of a brighter cinematic future .

The Suicide Squad hits theatre and HBO Max on August 6 .
