Movies Gallery 'Suicide Squad' Character Profiles By EW Staff Published on July 8, 2016 05:49PM EDT Trending Videos Close this video player 01 of 12 'Suicide Squad' Suits Up 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. 02 of 12 Deadshot (Will Smith) Clay Enos An assassin-for-hire by day, a concerned dad by night, Deadshot is one conflicted baddie who enjoys the hunt but is still trying to do right by his young daughter. 03 of 12 The Joker (Jared Leto) Jared Leto as the Joker. 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. 04 of 12 Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) Clay Enos The manipulative psychiatrist-turned-obsessive-in-love Harley Quinn unites the squad as much as she messes with their minds. 05 of 12 Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) Clay Enos 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. 06 of 12 Boomerang (Jai Courtney) Clay Enos Rugged, unpredictable, and mouthy, this explosive Aussie seems up for anything, especially a cold beer. 07 of 12 Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman) Clay Enos The all-business leader of the Suicide Squad executes Amanda Waller's orders—though he may not always agree with her goals or methods. 08 of 12 Katana (Karen Fukuhara) Clay Enos Flag's sword-wielding No. 2 has a strong moral code even as she still mourns the death of her husband. 09 of 12 Killer Croc (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) Clay Enos Cannibalism aside, this resident of the Belle Reve prison sewer is quite the team player, especially when water is involved. 10 of 12 Diablo (Jay Hernandez) Clay Enos The monastic monster has squelched his fire-conjuring powers to a solitary flame as penance for the horrors he inflicted on those he's loved. 11 of 12 Enchantress (Cara Delevingne) Clay Enos It doesn't seem fair that a witch this menacing would possess a vessel as sweet and pure as archaeologist June Moone. 12 of 12 Slipknot (Adam Beach) Clay Enos The rope master uses his indestructible twine to get himself out of all kinds of tangles. If only he was as good with authority figures.
