If there was ever any doubt that Warner Bros.’ marketing campaign for Suicide Squad is firmly set to overdrive, yet another clip for David Ayer’s superhero offshoot has found its way online, and it is Margot Robbie’s wicked Clown Princess of Crime who is thrust smack bang into the center of attention.
Trumpeting the worst of the worst, today’s new sizzle reel keeps up tradition by splicing some never-before-seen footage into clips, and on this occasion we see Robbie’s scenery-chewing anti-heroine cackle with laughter while riding shotgun in the Joker’s appropriately ostentatious supercar.
As Warner Bros. and other industry heavyweights gear up for San Diego Comic-Con – due to swing open its doors tomorrow, July 21 – Wall Street Journal has rolled out a new behind-the-scenes image of Robbie to accompany today’s clip. It finds the Wolf of Wall Street breakout decked out as the iconic DC nemesis and learning to pour some questionable-looking cocktails from behind the bar.
Beyond Harley Quinn’s barkeeping skills, Robbie’s erratic character will form part of Task Force X with Jared Leto, Jai Courtney, Cara Delevingne, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Jay Hernandez and Adam Beach. Scott Eastwood, Viola Davis and Ben Affleck also star.
Suicide Squad is slated to arrive on August 5. Earlier today, we caught wind of the mobile tie-in game (entitled Special Ops) that is now available across iOS and Android.
