The Suicide Squad has come together to take viewers on an action-packed journey this summer. The first trailer for DC’s The Suicide Squad was unveiled on Friday by director James Gunn.
He tweeted: “Our first trailer. Warning: blood, grown-up, supervillains, adventure, and heart. Can’t wait to see it in a theater with all of you on August 6. #TheSuicideSquad.”
The film comes five years after the critically criticized but highly successful original Suicide Squad, directed by David Ayer. The R-rated reboot sees Gunn, known from Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy films, delve into the world of DC for the first time.
Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson is among the new cast members, playing Blackguard. Idris Elba and John Cena join the cast as Bloodsport and Peacemaker. Margot Robbie is back as Harley Quinn, but the trailer shows her in a red and black leather look, which contrasts with the iconic T-shirt and shorts she sported in the original film.
Viola Davis also returns as government agent Amanda Waller, while Joel Kinnaman returns as Rick Flagg and Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang.
However, one of the biggest reveals from the trailer is that Sylvester Stallone is voicing King Shark, who is basically a man with a shark head (or possibly a shark with a human body). There’s also the giant, colorful kaiju starfish that starts to wreak havoc at the end of the trailer.
The film set also includes David Dastmalchian as Polka-Dot Man, Alice Braga as Sul Soria, Daniela Melchior as Ratcatcher 2, Nathan Fillion as TDK, Mayling Ng as Mongal, Michael Rooker as Savant, Peter Capaldi as Thinker, Sean Gunn. as Weasel and Flula Borg as Javelin.

Cena’s Peacemaker is expected to be a highlight of the film and will get its own HBO spinoff Max from Gunn. This is Gunn’s first feature since Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Production on a third Guardians film is expected to begin in London later this year.
The Suicide Squad is scheduled to release August 6 in theaters and on HBO Max.
