‘What if Superman had decided to fly down, rip off the roof of the white house and grab the President right out of the Oval Office? Who would have stopped him?’
That was the question posed in the latest trailer for Suicide Squad unveiled at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday night.
And although Batman, Doomsday and Lex Luthor would have all qualified as correct answers if Dawn of Justice was anything to go by, it was not what Viola Davis’ Amanda Waller was going for.
Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn stripped down to her underwear in new Suicide Squad trailer unveiled at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday
‘I want to build a team of some very bad people who i think can do some good,’ she says. ‘They get caught we throw them under the bus.’
The Suicide Squad – AKA Task Force X – are then rounded up in a military prison, including Will Smith’s assassin Deadshot, Jay Hernandez’s pyromancing El Diablo, and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje’s Killer Croc.
And the bad guys and their military guards alike all stop dead in their tracks as they watch Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn strip from her prison clothes down to her underwear.
‘This is the deal,’ their chaperon Rick Flagg (Joel Kinnaman) tells them. ‘You disobey me; you die. Try to escape, you die. Irritate or vex me…’
