The last we heard from director David Ayer on the subject of Suicide Squad was our first look at Jared Leto as the Joker. Unofficially, we have seen images of Will Smith and Ben Affleck (as the Batmans!) on set – those pictures basically verify rumors that have been floating around.
Ayer has given us an official look at Task Force X (sans Jared Leto as the Joker) and a close up of Will Smith as Deadshot. Task Force X is the bunch of super villains that the government brings together to run suicide missions — the plot of the film.

Here's our look at Deadshot:

Suicide Squad is set to release August 5, 2016, at least Ayer is up front with all of his characters. What do you think of the cast?
