'Bad vs. Evil' on Full Display in New 'Suicide Squad' Trailer Screened at Comic-Con

“This is not a movie about good vs. evil — it’s a movie about bad vs. evil.” That’s how Will Smith perfectly summed up the struggle at the heart of the hotly anticipated Suicide Squad shortly after Warner Bros./DC Comics unveiled a brand-new trailer for the film at Comic-Con on Saturday. (Watch it above.)

Initially set to the Twenty One Pilots’s downbeat soundtrack song “Heathens,” the new preview — likely the final one we’ll see before the Aug. 5 premiere — finds the hard-drinking antiheroes commiserating during an extended exchange at the bar we’ve spotted them at in previous trailers.

“They’re gonna blame us for the whole thing. We’re the patsies, don’t forget,” says Smith’s Deadshot. “We’re the bad guys.”

What follows is a captivating, rapid-fire montage of the “meta-humans” in action, with some new scenes featuring Viola Davis’s tough mastermind Amanda Waller. The clip segues into the film’s hard-hitting, rap-meets-dubstep track from Rick Ross and Skrillex (long rumored to be the film’s official theme song).

Some of the flashes of footage are new. Many you’ve probably seen at least a few dozen times by now. But the whole shebang will once again have you roaring to root on the bad guys.

Suicide Squad, directed by David Ayer and also starring Jared Leto, Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman, Cara Delevingne, Jai Courtney, Scott Eastwood, Karen Fukuhara, Jay Hernandez, Adam Beach, and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, opens Aug. 5.

  • Expect 'growing pains' in the EV sector: Analyst

    EV adoption hasn't been as high as many automakers had hoped, but they are still pushing towards a future with EVs and self-driving vehicles. How can the auto sector ignite demand and what is ahead for the space in the near and long term? The Futurum Group Research Director Olivier Blanchard joins Market Domination to discuss the shift in focus for automakers to make EVs and hybrids. Blanchard lays out one of the current issues with the EV market, causing slower adoption among consumers: "Currently the EV market and the automotive market for software-defined vehicles and EVs, simultaneously, is a little skewed on the side of more expensive models, and consumers are just kind of worried about that kind of spending right now. Things are expensive. Obviously, there's inflation. There's a little bit of price gouging and people are a little bit closer to their budgets and so what we're seeing is a reluctance to buy EVs for two reasons. One, most are still a little above the price point that the average consumer for a mainstream adoption of EVs is comfortable with and the other one is fear about charging and infrastructure, about the serviceability of the vehicles, and also about the long-term resale of these vehicles once the batteries and the technologies on board have a few years on them."
