The
makers
of
DC's
new
The
Suicide
Squad
have
released
a
new
trailer
giving
an
insight
into
Idris
Elba's
character,
Bloodsport.
While
fans
have
been
upset
about
the
reboot
and
Will
Smith's
exit
from
the
franchise,
they
have
been
equally
excited
about
Idris
Elba
joining
the
team.
First
introduced
in
2016's
hit
release
Suicide
Squad,
the
reboot
is
set
to
show
director
James
Gunn's
reimagined
version
of
the
anti-heroes.
The
new
trailer
also
gives
a
glimpse
at
other
plot
points
and
characters.
It
also
shows
how
Viola
Davis'
Amanda
Waller
recruits
Bloodsport
by
threatening
his
daughter.
In
the
rest
of
the
trailer,
we
also
get
to
see
what
the
Suicide
Squad
is
up
against
and
what
the
starfish
project
is
going
to
be.
The
clip
gives
a
better
look
at
a
big
action
sequence
featuring
Starro,
a
giant
starfish-shaped
monster,
towards
the
end.
We
also
get
a
few
clips
focusing
on
Gunn's
irreverent
humour,
the
other
characters
including
Margot
Robbie,
John
Cena,
Nathan
Fillion
and
more.
The
ensemble
for
the
movie
also
features
David
Dastmalchian
as
Polka-Dot
Man,
Alice
Braga
as
Sul
Soria,
Daniela
Melchior
as
Ratcatcher
2,
Mayling
Ng
as
Mongal,
Michael
Rooker
as
Savant,
Peter
Capaldi
as
Thinker,
Sean
Gunn
as
Weasel,
and
Flula
Borg
as
Javelin.
Gunn
had
reportedly
signed
up
to
write
and
direct
the
DC
film
back
in
2019,
after
he
was
fired
from
Guardians
of
the
Galaxy
Vol
3
by
Disney
and
Marvel.
However,
after
much
campaigning
by
fans
and
the
cast,
Gunn
is
set
to
return
to
directing
MCU
films.
Notably,
The
Suicide
Squad
is
slated
for
an
August
6
release
in
theatres
and
on
the
HBO
Max
streaming
service.
DCEU
is
also
gearing
up
for
releases
like
Black
Adam,
Shazam
2,
The
Flash,
The
Batman,
Aquaman
2
and
more
until
late
2022.
