Squad Goals: Meet the latest ‘it’ squad of delinquents

Meet the latest 'it' squad of delinquents out to save the world

“Suicide Squad” follows the events of “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” and takes place in a post-Superman world where the government tries to determine how to respond in the event that an alien with more villainous intentions visits Earth. Directed by David Ayer, “Suicide Squad” will hit Philippine cinemas on August 4.

AMANDA WALLER (Viola Davis)

A hard-as-nails career US intelligence officer who makes bad things happen to bad people, she is the secret commander of the Suicide Squad and cares only about the operation at hand – everyone is expendable when serving the greater good. She puts the inaugural squad together in order to attempt an impossible mission, ensuring herself easy patsies to take the blame and zero personal accountability of things go wrong.

DEADSHOT (Will Smith)

Aka Floyd Lawton— he is a career mafia hit man and possibly the best marksman in the world. A stone cold pro who works alone, trusting no one, his one soft spot is his young daughter, Zoe, whom the government uses as means to exploit the precision gunman into joining its mission.

KILLER CROC (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje)

A huge man for whom evolution is working backward, Killer Croc’s square jaw, cracked and scaly skin and toothy grin evoke the most fearsome of reptiles, but it’s his skill at surviving and maneuvering in dark, dank, filthy sewers that makes him a deadly foe when he’s in his element.

SLIP KNOT (Adam Beach)

Aka Christopher Weiss — he is a master in the use of elaborate ropes and tackle, including unbreakable ones. This trained assassin can climb anything.

THE JOKER (Jared Leto)

Chaos personified, The Joker is violent, incredibly dangerous, and revels in every single moment of the chaos he creates. Batman’s greatest, most unpredictable adversary, he is also Arkham Asylum’s most infamous resident, and the love of Squad Member Harley Quinn’s life.

DIABLO (Jay Hernandez)

His face bearing a tattooed skull, this one-time gang member can create and manipulate fire to do his bidding. But Diablo is haunted by the misdeeds of his past, and if he allows his temper to flare, there’s no telling how much destruction he might cause.

KATANA (Karen Fukuhara)

Dressed in Samurai-inspired, street fighter garb and ballistic face mask, Katana wields the Soultaker, a large Samurai sword that traps the souls of all its victims. A cold-blooded killer, she serves as a member of the Squad, but is also there as an associate of Colonel Rick Flag to keep the others in line.

HARLEY QUINN (Margot Robbie)

Aka Dr. Harleen Quinzel— she is a beautiful young psychiatrist who treats the criminally insane patients at Arkham Asylum, including The Joker…until he turns the tables on her. As crazy as she is desirable, Harley views life as one big, chaotic joke.

CAPTAIN BOOMERANG (Jai Courtney)

An Australian roughneck, Captain Boomerang is devious, scheming and ruthless…and that’s his good side. Utilizing an assortment of his trademark weapon—razor-sharp, incendiary and electrically charged boomerangs—his wise-cracking attitude and short fuse often irritate the other Squad members and escalate the already dangerous situation.

DR. JUNE MOONE/ENCHANTRESS (Cara Delevingne)

Possessed by Enchantress—a diaphanous, ethereal, wickedly beautiful witch as old as time—June Moone struggles to hold on to her humanity while being overpowered by the seductress. And as long as Amanda Waller quite literally holds Enchantress’ heart, June remains a servant to both women, and the siren remains at the whim of her captor until she can rise to reclaim all that she has lost.

COLONEL RICK FLAG (Joel Kinnaman)

Amanda Waller’s second-in-command, Colonel Rick Flag is the best Tier One Shooter the armed forces has made, which makes him even more suspicious of a homegrown cannon like Deadshot. A military man through and through, Flag is in charge of keeping this disparate group in line.
