'Suicide Squad' Trailer: Joker, Harley Quinn Get Biggest Comic-Con Reaction
UPDATE: Warner Bros. has released a high-quality version of the "Suicide Squad" Comic-Con trailer, which can be viewed right here:
PREVIOUSLY...
"Suicide Squad" is still filming in Toronto, but director David Ayer and cast showed up at San Diego Comic-Con 2015 to promise fans a great movie and show the first big trailer. And of course that trailer was immediately leaked online.
Watch the video below to see David Ayer basically do some D.C. vs. Marvel stand-up for the crowd, then introduce cast members Karen Fukuhara (Katana), Adam Beach (Slipknot), Cara Delevingne (Enchantress), Jay Hernandez (El Diablo), Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Killer Croc), Jai Courtney (Captain Boomerang), Joel Kinnaman (Rick Flagg), Viola Davis (Amanda Waller), Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn), and Will Smith (Deadshot).
Will Smith ends the video by saying, "This group right here, we are banging out something that is absolutely fantastic and stunning. And this guy right here, David Ayer, is the absolute truth, he is making something you are going to love."
David Ayer joked about the leaked set photos from their time filming on the streets, saying people had been shooting some footage with their iPhones, so here's a little something he found online. Cue the trailer. And cue the bootleg version. Here's a fan-shot video over here -- and you can hear the crowd definitely sharing the strongest reactions for all the shots of Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn and (especially) the few end-of-trailer glimpses of Jared Leto's Joker. It does seem like the Joker is being positioned as the real star of this movie, in part because of how secretive they've tried to be about him. Jared was not at Comic-Con and his character only appears at the end like a special treat.
"Suicide Squad" is set for release August 5, 2016.
