Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated super villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity.
If that does not scream exciting, we don't know what will.
In the film, U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller secretly convenes a group of disparate, despicable individuals in an attempt to save the world from an unknown but powerful threat.
However, once they realise they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?
Well, we'll have to wait and see.
The upcoming superhero film is the third installment in the DC Extended Universe and it opens in cinemas on Aug 4 in 3D and IMAX 3D.
Helmed by director David Ayer, the film stars an ensemble cast featuring big names like Will Smith, Jared Leto and Margot Robbie.
While you might be familiar with other heavyweights in the DC world like Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, you might not have the same amount of knowledge about the members of the Suicide Squad.
For those who fall under that category, fret not. We have compiled a series of infographics showing all you need to to know about the Suicide Squad before you catch the film in theatres.
AMANDA WALLER (Viola Davis)
A hard-as- nails career U.S. intelligence officer who makes bad things happen to bad people, Amanda Waller is the secret commander of the Suicide Squad and cares only about the operation at hand—everyone is expendable when serving the greater good. She puts the inaugural Squad together in order to attempt an impossible mission, ensuring herself easy patsies to take the blame and zero personal accountability if things go wrong.
