The New ‘Suicide Squad’ Trailer Is a Real Ballroom Blitz
Though Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was the cinematic equivalent of a dumpster fire, it wasn’t enough to stop excitement for the upcoming Suicide Squad, releasing in theaters August 5. Starring Will Smith, Jai Courtney, Jared Leto, Margot Robbie, (deep breath) Viola Davis, and many more, the new trailer — which premiered during the MTV Movie Awards tonight — cements Suicide Squad‘s place in the Justice League cinematic universe.
This thing, using Sweet’s “Ballroom Blitz,” is loaded with new footage, showing more of Ben Affleck’s cameo as Batman as well as comedic moments that Suicide Squad aims to inject into this otherwise grim and dour superhero universe. (I have no may of knowing if these scenes came from the current reshoots happening right now).
It’s less crazy editing than the “Bohemian Rhapsody” one that wowed us all a few months ago, but it’s still quirky and way more fun in just three minutes than two and a half hours of Zack Snyder’s monstrosity.
Suicide Squad is being directed by David Ayer and hits theaters August 5, 2016.
