How much marketing do you need to advertise a movie anyway? For DC Entertainment, when your The Dirty Dozen-style ensemble cast movie features twelve distinct lead characters, that apparently means you role out 24 new posters. That’s what happened this week–DC released two sets of character studies, one rancid candy cereal poster, and one comic booky explosive cast poster, giving fans of the team and movie poster collectors a new collect ’em all project.
Or you can view them all in high quality digital format below.
For cosplayers, it’s the first really good view of costume details. Anyone else have the urge to Photoshop some extra characters (or friends) into the big cast poster?
Here’s the roster: Adam Beach (Everwood, Hawaii Five-0), as Slipknot, Jai Courtney (Jack Reacher, Terminator: Genisys) as Captain Boomerang, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Joel Kinnaman (RoboCop) as Rick Flagg, Margot Robbie (Pan Am, The Wolf of Wall Street) as Harley Quinn, Will Smith (Men in Black, I, Robot) as Deadshot, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Lost, Thor: The Dark World) as Killer Croc, and Jay Hernandez as El Diablo. Viola Davis plays Amanda Waller, head of the agency A.R.G.U.S., and Jared Leto will play The Joker.
Check out all 24 of the new Suicide Squad posters after the break:
For those seeing some math not adding up, note that Amanda Waller gets a comic book poster where Harley Quinn doesn’t, and Harley a unique background version and no corresponding version for Waller.
It’s still several weeks away. Suicide Squad hits theaters August 5, 2016.
