When we last discussed the upcoming Warner Brothers Pictures release “The Suicide Squad”, it was around the time of the DC Fandome and it was to showcase a number of colorful posters that you can all enjoy by clicking HERE. Now it’s time to share what amounts to being the “Red Band Trailer” which is considered more of an adult nature based on the contents. The code below forces you to watch on YouTube.com itself so we apologize but its beyond our control. I’ll be back with some insight on this at the close so do come back.

It would seem that the DC Fandome is all about reveals and one of the films that the fans are looking forward to in the coming future is “The Suicide Squad”, its a bit of a sequel to the original film and seems to have kept the same name but added a “the” to mark the difference. The film comes care of James Gunn who most of you know from “The Guardians Of The Galaxy” and now its time to see how he does a DC Extended Universe film. Sadly, this universe has been an uneven one but hopes are high for the upcoming “Wonder Woman 1984” film. This post is loaded with poster reveals so let’s begin with the Official Teaser and then past the premise and casting I will share the character ones. Enjoy and I will see you again at the close.

After the events of Avengers: Age of Ultron, Thor, held captive on the planet Sakaar without his hammer, must win a gladiatorial duel against an old friend — the Hulk — in order to return to Asgard in time to stop the villainous Hela and the impending Ragnarök, the doom of the Asgardian civilization.
