Well, this is interesting, isn't it?

Have a look at what's going on in the background of this shot, with the Suicide Squad outlined in profile form behind Amanda Waller as she "pitches" the idea of the team to a bunch of bigshot government officials; they show Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Killer Croc, Slipknot, Captain Boomerang and Diablo. But some notable characters are clearly missing.

We've known for a while that the Joker wouldn't wind up as part of the squad, of course, so the fact that he's missing isn't much of a revelation. But Rick Flagg, Katana and Enchantress - by way of this candid shot - are pretty much confirmed as non-proper members of the Suicide Squad.

Flagg, of course, is selected to keep the team in line and Katana has long been assumed to be his loyal bodyguard. Enchantress... well, she's currently rumoured to be the villain of the movie. And so this brief look inside the war room seems to confirm all of the above speculations to be true.
