Then theres Suicide Squad, which offers arguably the most colorful group of villains ever seen in a movie. And Ayer loved every minute with them. We all need good guys and everything yay, good guys but at the end of the day, theyre kinda boring, the Fury director says. Theyre always going to do the right thing. When youre dealing with the baddies, its easy to get ahead of the audience and invert expectations.
Deadshot, Harley, Killer Croc (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), Enchantress (Cara Delevingne), Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman) and Katana (Karen Fukuhara) are part of a team put together by government official Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) to deal with a mysterious adversary in the movie, which also showcases a Joker played by Leto who transcends being bad or even evil, Ayer says. Hes the king of Planet Joker.
When you have Batmans archnemesis, the hero himself cant be far behind, and one of Ayers favorite days was filming Afflecks part in Suicide Squad. We made him fight, the director says with a laugh. Hes awesome (as Batman). ... You really sense that but for the grace of God he himself would be doing some really foul stuff out in the world.
Affleck says hes bound by nondisclosure clauses a mile long but is willing to spill the news that Suicide Squad is bound to blow people away. It felt like I have such a cool cousin. This thing that is so awesome is somehow related to me, and that was really exciting because it started to feel like a constellation of things, and Ive never had that feeling.
