Last night DC Comics and Warner Bros. had a half-hour special on the CW entitled DC Films Presents: Dawn of the Justice League. It was essentially a glorified ad for the DC Cinematic Universe, but for DC Comics fans it was still a lot of fun. Kevin Smith hosted. One of the highlights was the brand new trailer for Suicide Squad, whose first trailer was released last year in conjunction with Comic-Con. The trailer is expertly cut to a Queen song and the film looks like it could be a blast. Below is another look at Jared Leto as The Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, and Will Smith as Deadshot.

For the uninitiated, the premise behind Suicide Squad is that captured villains are forced to work for the government as a team to help combat greater evils. David Ayer, whose last film was the Brad Pitt WWII tank drama Fury, is the director. Suicide Squad also stars Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flagg, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo, Adam Beach as Slipknot, and Viola Davis as Amanda Waller. Ben Affleck’s Batman has a cameo as well. Ike Barinholtz, Scott Eastwood, Raymond Olubowale, Alex Meraz, Jim Parrack, and Common are also featured in mystery roles. It is due out August 5, 2016. Watch the new trailer below.
