8 Ways New Suicide Squad Trailer Made You Change Your Mind

4. Enchantress Looks Really Interesting, Actually

Of all the characters in the movie, perhaps, it's Enchantress - played by British model turned actress Cara Delevingne - who has invoked the most cries of: "Huh?" She's not a particularly well-known character outside of the comic books, after all, and the marketing regarding Enchantress has - up until this point, anyway - been a little thin on the ground, to say the least. The internet has been awash with movie-goers asking questions such as: "What's her deal?" or "What does she do, exactly?" The latest trailer tells us: she's possessed by a witch. And so, despite everything, Suicide Squad has now revealed Enchantress as a really interesting character; one that you immediately want to know more about. She has, like, magic-type stuff floating around her, for one thing, and there are some shots of the character looking normal (or non-possessed, if you will) scattered throughout the two and a half minute showreel, too. All this might have been enough to sway a few opinions - especially since there are a few hints in the trailer suggesting that she might not be a member of squad, but the villain.
