James Gunn har ju bjudit på flera saftiga detaljer om sin kommande Suicide Squad-film, men annat än att det har beskrivits som en 70-talsinfluerad krigsrulle som vet vi väldigt lite om själva handlingen. Ja, fram tills nu, det vill säga. Nu har det nämligen släppts en officiell synopsis till den efterlängtade DC-filmen, som ni alltså hittar här nedan:
Synopsis:
Welcome to hell — a.k.a. Belle Reve, the prison with the highest mortality rate in the US of A. Where the worst Super-Villains are kept and where they will do anything to get out—even join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X. Today's do-or-die assignment? Assemble a collection of cons, including Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, Ratcatcher 2, Savant, King Shark, Blackguard, Javelin and everyone's favorite psycho, Harley Quinn. Then arm them heavily and drop them (literally) on the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese.
Trekking through a jungle teeming with militant adversaries and guerrilla forces at every turn, the Squad is on a search-and- destroy mission with only Colonel Rick Flag on the ground to make them behave...and Amanda Waller's government techies in their ears, tracking their every movement. And as always, one wrong move and they're dead (whether at the hands of their opponents, a teammate, or Waller herself). If anyone's laying down bets, the smart money is against them—all of them.
I rollerna kan vi se Idris Elba som Bloodsport, Viola Davis som Amanda Waller, Margot Robbie som Harley Quinn, Jai Courtney som Captain Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman som Rick Flagg, David Dastmalchian som Polka-Dot Man, Steve Agee som King Shark, Daniela Melchior som Ratcatcher, Michael Rooker som Savant, Flula Borg som Javelin, Nathan Fillion som T.D.K., Mayling Ng som Mongal, Peter Capaldi som The Thinker, Alice Braga som Sol Soria, Steve Agee som King Shark, John Cena som Peacemaker, Joaquín Cosío som Mayor General Mateo Suarez, Pete Davidson som Blackguard, Sean Gunn som Weasel, Jennifer Holland som Emilia Harcourt, Storm Reid som Bloodsports dotter Tyla och Taika Waititi i en ännu okänd roll. The Suicide Squad beräknas få premiär den sjätte augusti 2021. Hur sugen är du på Gunns serietidnings-comeback?
