'Suicide Squad' News

Screen Rant has released details on the villain in 'Suicide Squad', citing "The Adversary" as the film's antagonist.

"The Eyes of The Adversary" will be comprised of foot soldiers that the "heroes" encounter during the film.

Producer Richard Suckle commented, saying:

As you can tell, it’s not a guy… that’s probably a good way to describe it. And they play a very important role in this movie and is something that G-Squad has to contend with. I don’t think it’s anything you ever, for sure, have seen. That image, that idea, is something that David… I remember when he came into the office at Warner’s because we were discussing, ‘What are these things going to look like that the Squad has to come up against?’ He was like, ‘I had a dream last night. Let me draw it for you.’ We were literally on a white board and he drew this head with these circular… You want to call them eyes, whatever they may be, and he drew it. It’s almost verbatim, honestly… That is exactly what he came up with.

“There’s magic in this movie. There’s things that are happening that are unexplainable. Some of them may be attributed to magic. Some of them may be attributed to other things. Maybe they’re scientific, but, yes, it’s not just someone coming into the city and laying waste. This obviously is clearly … Something has happened and the Squad is sent into Midway City to try and fix a problem, but that problem is something that you learn more and more about as the movie unfolds.”

“Oh, you will find out who the Adversary is. That is for sure. You will find out not only who the Adversary is but why they exist, who is part and parcel, and who is behind them. You definitely find that out in this movie, for sure.”

Director David Ayer also commented, saying:

“Yeah… ‘I had a dream.’ Have you guys seen ’em? They’re pretty disturbing… yeah, they’re really disturbing. It’s hard to come up with bad guys, and it’s hard to come up with creatures… You want to do something fresh, yet, I also want to do something very specific to this world and unique. And I think we kind of nailed it.”

“The backbone of this story is right out of canon and it’s one comic book. I’m not going to say which one… eventually people might figure it out.”
