The
new image of the cast of the Suicide Squad movie came out while I was
caught up in the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight and hanging with a cute
chick all weekend. I went to Twitter dodging Age of Ultron spoilers
(I'm seeing it today!) and saw the cast and got confused. Not just
because they look like a group of bad guys that would be in any
B-level action film, but also because I didn't know who most of them
were. Here they are listed by the photo above.
Slipknot
(Adam Beach), Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney), Enchantress (Cara
Delevingne), Katana (Karen Fukuhara), Rick Flagg (Joel Kinnaman),
Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Deadshot (Will Smith), Killer Croc
(Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) and El Diablo (Jay Hernandez). Or three
Punisher's, a ninja woman, a raver, some sick woman, a monster, a
Black Punisher, and a gang member. Some people are upset that the
Joker isn't in this image. He isn't on the team and shouldn't even be
in this already bloated film.
My
response was “Who? Oh. Uh. Who's she? I know him. I know her. Oh,
that's how Deadshot looks? That's how they have Croc looking? Who is
Diablo?!” Now, I'm not a huge fan of this team so I have no
attachment to them. But I always get bothered when comic book based
films go wrong with the look of a character because there are
hundreds of images of the characters to use as an example of the
look. If you didn't tell me what movie this was and asked if I would
see it I'd say no. Not because I don't know who they are but because
they don't look interesting. If this movie manages to be cool I will
be genuinely shocked.
