‘The Suicide Squad’ Character Posters Warn You Not To Get Too Attached
Don’t get too attached. That’s the warning tagline that comes with each new character poster forThe Suicide Squad,James Gunn’s upcoming comic book movie for Warner Bros., which follows up David Ayer’s 2016Suicide Squad. And it’s easy to see why: it’s in the title, and in the name of the team, made of up DC Comics rogues sent on dangerous missions by Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) and they’re not expected to survive.You’ve seen the trailer, so check out the character posters forThe Suicide Squadbelow.

In an impressive social media rollout, Gunn and Warner Bros. got the entire cast ofThe Suicide Squad(at least those who are on Twitter) to share their character posters with a fun little in-character message.

Sylvester Stallonealso confirmed the mystery character he’s playing is in fact King Shark, in a half-failed attempt at posting hischaracter poster(hashtags are hard).
Warner Bros. also released a poster featuring the entire time, which is full of color and explosions and screaming superhero/villain faces — teasing just the kind of tone we can expect fromThe Suicide Squad.
