Full ‘Suicide Squad’ Cast Revealed In Costume!
Task Force X has been assembled…for a group photo!
David Ayer, the writer and director of the upcoming DC anti-superhero film Suicide Squad, just tweeted out the first ever cast photo in full costume, as well as a solo shot of Will Smith as Deadshot!
In addition to Deadshot with his mask on, the biggest takeaway from the group photo is our first ever look at Joker’s popular accomplice, Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), who looks killer! Also featured in the film are Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney), Rick Flagg (Joel Kinnaman), Killer Croc (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), and Echantress (Cara Delevingne), with Deathstroke, King Shark, and Plastique also said to appearing in the film.
For those who don’t know much about Suicide Squad, they’re a group of supervillains who do the “dirty” jobs for the government in exchange for reduced prison time, etc. It’s a really cool concept that’s bode well for the DC comics and various spinoffs. The biggest question is as to how Jared Leto’s Joker comes into play, being that he’s not part of the “Squad”. I’m guessing that maybe he’s the villain to the villains? Or, there’re rumors he plays a sort of Hannibal Lecter role similar to that in Silence of the Lambs.
The Dirty Dozen of superhero films opens on August 5th, 2016.

‘Curse of the Where Wolf’ Bites Into August Release With Trio of Werewolf Theatrical Screenings [Exclusive Preview]
Larry Chaney‘s hairy misadventures are continuing in the sequel graphic novel Curse of the Where Wolf from creative team Rob Saucedo, Debora Lancianese, and Jack Morelli, and its author is celebrating with a trio of horror’s greatest werewolf films.
The Curse of the Where Wolf hits shelves on August 7 from Encyclopocalypse Publications.
That coincides with the launch of a theatrical screening event in Houston, Texas, featuring a trio of seminal werewolf flicks turning 45 this year: The Howling on August 7, Wolfen on August 14, and An American Werewolf in London on August 21.
Each screening features a “werewolf in film” presentation as well as a book signing from Where Wolf author and River Oaks Theatre artistic director Rob Saucedo.
In the new graphic novel, “Being a werewolf sucks. Reporter Larry Chaney wanted to be a hero. Instead, he became a werewolf. Now, caught between incredible new powers and a desire to eat everything (and everyone) in sight, Larry must find a cure for his curse. Or die trying.”
“With Where Wolf, I wanted to tell a whodunit set in a furry convention, so the story was pretty contained within a very specific setting and genre. With Curse of the Where Wolf, I wanted to celebrate everything I love about the possibility of comic books. Curse of the Where Wolf is a funny book, in every sense of the phrase, but it’s also an earnest look at a person’s struggle to become a better version of themselves, especially when the alternative is to become a literal monster,” Saucedo says of Curse.
The original graphic novel was previously serialized as the first webcomic hosted on Fangoria before being collected by Encyclopocalypse Publications in 2023 and has already been optioned for film, podcast, and television development ahead of launch by producers James Fino (“The Freak Brothers” for Tubi, “Rick and Morty” for Adult Swim) and Charles Horak (First Date for Magnolia Pictures).
Expect Larry to find himself in even weirder situations in the 362-page full color sequel; Saucedo has provided Bloody Disgusting with exclusive art pages from the upcoming graphic novel that showcase lupine humor.
