'Suicide Squad' Suits Up

Credit: Clay Enos

The worst heroes ever are ready for their close-up. Suicide Squad’s merry band of deranged villains are front and center in this week’s EW cover story, on newsstands Friday, ahead of their arrival in theaters on Aug. 5.  

From Will Smith’s Deadshot to Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn and, of course, Jared Leto as the Joker, take a look at who’s who in the “skwad” in these exclusive new character photos.

The Joker (Jared Leto)

Credit: Clay Enos

Jared Leto's Joker is different than any we've seen before—less theatrical than Jack Nicholson, more unhinged than Heath Ledger—but no less psychotic. Despite all his power, this Clown Prince of Crime is having difficulty reuniting with true love Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie)—a rift that has left him agitated and...well, slightly sad.

Amanda Waller (Viola Davis)

Don't screw with U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller. Ambitious and devious, she has big plans, and no meta-human or military protocol is going to get in her way.

Killer Croc ­(Adewale Akinnuoye-­Agbaje)

It doesn't seem fair that a witch this menacing would possess a vessel as sweet and pure as archaeologist June Moone.
