The Suicide Squad Behind-the-Scenes Featurette Teases Surprising Deaths

Warner Bros. Pictures has dropped another behind-the-scenes featurette for James Gunn’s highly-anticipated The Suicide Squad movie, which is set to arrive in theaters and on HBO Max on Friday, August 6. The video features interviews by Gunn, Viola Davis, Jai Courtney, and Michael Rooker as they highlight the team’s very high-stakes mission which will lead to many surprising deaths. It also teases an intriguing scene where Amanda Waller will finally enact her threat of killing any member of the team who disobeys her orders.

Welcome to hell — a.k.a. Belle Reve, the prison with the highest mortality rate in the US of A. Where the worst Super-Villains are kept and where they will do anything to get out—even join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X. Today’s do-or-die assignment? Assemble a collection of cons, including Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, Ratcatcher 2, Savant, King Shark, Blackguard, Javelin, and everyone’s favorite psycho, Harley Quinn. Then arm them heavily and drop them (literally) on the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese. Trekking through a jungle teeming with militant adversaries and guerrilla forces at every turn, the Squad is on a search-and-destroy mission with only Colonel Rick Flag on the ground to make them behave…and Amanda Waller’s government techies in their ears, tracking their every movement. And as always, one wrong move and they’re dead (whether at the hands of their opponents, a teammate, or Waller herself). If anyone’s laying down bets, the smart money is against them—all of them.

James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad will star returning DCEU alums Margot Robbie, Jai Courtney, Joel Kinnaman, and Viola Davis along with franchise newcomers Idris Elba, John Cena,  Peter Capaldi, David Dastmalchian, Daniela Melchior, Michael Rooker, Alice Braga, Pete Davidson, Joaquín Cosio, Juan Diego Botto, Storm Reid, Nathan Fillion, Sean Gunn, Mayling Ng, Flula Borg, Jennifer Holland, Tinashe Kajese, Sylvester Stallone, Steve Agee, and Taika Waititi.
