It will be rated PG-13 in the USA, and 15 in the UK.

It features a band of villains being recruited by the US government to undertake dangerous black ops missions.

Batman and The Joker are both in it, as the trailers have shown us.

Beyond that, though, we have these 12 questions regarding theSuicide Squadmovie…

This sludge, it seems, can kill people.

And it can tear through cars.

And, judging the impressive shot screen-grabbed above, it wont be easy to shut this black substance down.

It seems safe to assume that this goo is the McGuffin of the Suicide Squads first government-sanctioned mission.

But what is this goo?

Article image

Who made it, and for what purpose?

Could a major villain like Lex Luthor or The Joker be behind it?

For now, weve no clue…

Article image

But is this all that the Joker will have to do in the film?

Well have to wait and see.

If Harley Quinn gets to have flashback scenes establishing her backstory, why cant everyone else?

What routes did those guys take towards appearing in this movie?

Its worth remembering thatSuicide Squadwill be 130 minutes long.

There will be plenty of stuff going on that wasnt teased in the trailers.

Is this the only time well get to see Batfleck in the movie?

That does seem like a very real possibility.

If Batman has too big a part to play here, it could undermine the Suicide Squad.

Article image

As ever, though, I could be wrong.

Who or what, then, is the main threat of the movie?

One unidentified character from the trailer (screen-grabbed above) continues to mystify me.

Article image

Is this guy the main villain of the movie?

Did he orchestrate the sludge attack?

What is he name/goal/exact skillset?

Article image

I have no ruddy clue, but Im looking forward to finding out.

And if this guy isnt the main baddie, who is?

In some shots, she wears ordinary clothes and is allowed to hang out with other people.

In others, she looks like a model for Zoolanders Derelicte campaign.

(You could even say that her look is somewhat reminiscent of the sludge.

Is she the one behind it?)

The idea of adding witches and other magical morsels to the DC Extended Universe is a fairly big one.

DC are sticking these huge concepts into a packed ensemble movie instead.

On the right there is Scott Eastwood, who plays an as-yet-unnamed role inSuicide Squad.

Hes clearly an army guy of some sort, and thats all we have to go on really.

Some believe the Joker will torture him.

Could this be Eastwoods character?)

There are other theories, too.

At the moment, Scott Eastwoods character remains a mystery.

With any luck, we wont know for sure who he is until the movie hits theatres.

Wouldnt it be nice to have a genuine surprise in the cinema?

Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justiceended with Lex Luthor locked up, wearing an orange jump suit.

Does this mean that Jesse Eisenbergs Luthor is set to appear inSuicide Squad?

At the moment, its impossible to say, but it does seem feasible.

And together, those two could cook up one hell of an evil scheme.

Or any other DC villain that you’re free to think of.

For example, if Calendar Man showed up, it could cause the fandom to speculate aroundThe Long Halloween.

Ben Affleck is set to make at least a cameo appearance inSuicide Squad.

A large chunk of his rogues gallery is in the film, as well.

We wont know for sure until we see it.

The clues in the name, really.

Of course, theres no way of knowing at this stage.

Of course he wont stay there, but still.

Personally, Im hoping for a least two grizzly death scenes inSuicide Squad.

Im looking at you, Slipknot and El Diablo… maybe even Killer Croc, too.

Basically, if youre not in the middle of the publicity photo, youre not safe.
