50 Most Exciting Upcoming Comic Book Movies - Ranked
2. Suicide Squad
Status: Shooting complete Due: August 5th 2016 Key Players: David Ayer is directing, and about a million actors are involved. Top billed and most exciting labels go to Will Smith, Cara Delevingne, Jared Leto and Margot Robbie. And as with most DC movies upcoming, theres a Ben Affleck cameo. Whats It About: A nefarious rag-tag crew of villains are assembled by Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) including Harley Quinn, Killer Croc, Captain Boomerang and Deadshot, to take on deadly black ops missions in return for clemency. Their bounty is probably Enchantress, while Letos new Joker takes on a Hannibal Lecter style role from behind bars, and manipulates everyone into unwittingly helping him escape. Batman will be delighted. Why We Should Care: Evil is the new black. The opportunity to see some of Batmans most famous villains teaming up Dirty Dozen style is a hugely exciting one, even if its pretty simple to pick out the dead meats from the heroic sacrifices already. And while the plot is pretty clearly mapped out if you put a little guesswork into the trailer and the promotional shots, its going to be a hell of a ride. Particularly as it means we get to see both Will Smith and Jared Leto disprove everyones criticisms of their casting while Margot Robbie steals every scene.
