A behind-the-scenes trailer of The Suicide Squad, directed by James Gunn was shared at DC FanDome and it sure promises to be quite a visual fest. The upcoming film will feature DC villains that were rounded by Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) for the Task Force X in the previous 2016 film Suicide Squad. The film sees Harlet Quinn (Margot Robbie), Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney) and leader Rick Flagg (Joel Kinnaman) reprise their roles along with a host of new and interesting characters.
In the BTS video, Gunn said that The Suicide Squad is by far the biggest movie he has worked on and looking at the ensemble cast we tend to agree. A special DC FanDome fan poster was also revealed of the film. The Suicide Squad also stars Idris Elba as Bloodsport, wrestler-actor John Cena as Peacemaker, Nathan Fillion as TDK, Pete Davidson as Blackguard and Sean Gunn as Weasel.
