With the enormous amount of leaks on the set of The Suicide Squad, WB and David Ayer have forced to officially reveal the characters in full uniform. Below is a clear look of Will Smith’s Deadshot in full armor and though not an official photo a much clearer look at Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn
As stated in my previous article with the full cast photo many hardcore Harley Quinn fans were strongly worried the type of Harley Quinn that will be depicted on screen. Especially the depiction of Quinn that is overly sexualized and very much part of the male gaze. However, it seems as though they choose to pool many of the newer interpretations of Quinn that retain her more iconic tropes such as her costume in The Arkham City games and even her western themed from Injustice: Gods Among Us video game with her revolver hanging under her shoulder while simultaneously making her very attractive and sexy (with Margot Robbie it’s not a hard thing to do).
As for Deadshot it’s clear they put this one out fast for the widely negative response to the leaked set photos of Will Smith in what seemingly looks to be a Hell’s Kitchen pimp from the 70s. And that this Deadshot shall be a more realistic portrayal with military style armor along with his identifiable red suit and white hood which looks functional as it looks menacing.
Not digging this look at all. Call me old fashioned but what is wrong with keeping her in a jumpsuit? Its so iconic and I would love to see it come to life.
