It seems that Warner Bros.' highly-anticipatedSuicide Squadis going to leave it’s “mark,” so to speak, on fans who visit the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas next week. Earlier today, directorDavid Ayerrevealed a new poster, which features a candy theme, with the Q resembling a sucker, while several of the cast members took to their Twitter and Instagram to tease new tattoo designs. If you’re in Austin for SXSW, you can get these actual tattoos at Harley’s Tattoo Parlor which will be set up during the festival.
While we don’t know exactly where Harley’s Tattoo Parlor will be set up, starsMargot Robbie(Harley Quinn),Cara Delevingne(Enchantress),Jai Courtney(Boomerang),Joel Kinnaman(Rick Flagg),Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje(Killer Croc),Adam Beach(Slipknot),Jay Hernandez(El Diablo) and Karen Fukuhara (Katana) took to their Twitter and Instagram pages earlier today to share the tattoo designs based on their characters. It isn’t known if more designs will be revealed soon for other characters likeWill Smith’sDeadshotandJared Leto’sThe Joker, but we’ll have to wait and see.
The all-star ensemble cast for Suicide Squad includesWill Smith(Deadshot),Margot Robbie(Harley Quinn),Jared Leto(The Joker),Jai Courtney(Boomerang),Joel Kinnaman(Rick Flagg),Cara Delevingne(Enchantress),Viola Davis(Amanda Waller), Karen Fukuhara (Katana)Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje(Killer Croc), andJay Hernandez(El Diablo). Created by Robert Kanigher and Ross Andru for DC Comics in 1959, the Suicide Squad follows a group of super villains tasked by the U.S. Government to pull off a secret mission. The catch is that is will be nearly impossible, and most of them, if not all, will return in body bags. If they make it out alive, they will be rewarded their freedom.
The supporting cast includesScott Eastwood,Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje,Ike Barinholtz,Ray Olubowale,Alex Meraz,Jim ParrackandCommon.Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbajehas been confirmed as King Shark, but as for the rest, there was a rumor last summer that claimedScott Eastwoodis playingDeathstroke, whileCommonis reportedly playing theDC Comicscharacter Abel Tarrant, a.k.a. The Tattooed Man, but that hasn’t been confirmed. If he is playing the Tattooed Man, then perhaps we’ll get confirmation during SXSW, especially since they’re setting up a whole tattoo parlor.
It isn’t known if any of theSuicide Squadcast members themselves will be present at SXSW, which runs from March 11 to March 19, but it’s certainly possible that these images could be teasing some surprise appearances in Austin, Texas. Would you get one of these designs tattooed on your body? Let us know what you think after checking out the tattoo designs and the new poster below, as we get closer and closer toSuicide Squad’s August 5 release date.
