New 'The Suicide Squad' Poster Reveals Funky Logos for All the Characters (Most of Whom Will Probably Die)

James Gunn knows what’s important in a superhero movie. It’s not the villains, it’s not the action, it’s not the story. It’s the branding. (I’m kidding, by the way.) But Gunn sure has knocked it out of the park with the marketing teases for The Suicide Squad, with brightly colored ’70s exploitation-inspired posters that give a real feeling for the flashy approach Gunn will take with his follow-up to David Ayer’s 2016 Suicide Squad. And the director has released a new The Suicide Squad poster revealing a bunch of funky logos for all of the characters of the film (most of which will likely die before the end). See the new The Suicide Squad poster below.

Gunn released a new The Suicide Squad poster using the unique logos for each Suicide Squad member that were unveiled in the character roll call video from DC FanDome. There are familiar faces like Margot Robbie‘s Harley Quinn, Joel Kinnaman‘s Rick Flag (this time sporting his character’s signature bright yellow shirt), Jai Courtney‘s Captain Boomerang, and even Viola Davis‘ Amanda Waller. But that’s not all.

They’re joined by logos for new characters played by Idris Elba, Michael Rooker, Sean Gunn, Pete Davidson, John Cena, Alice Braga, Peter Capaldi, and more, each getting a customized logo teasing the character’s powers, personalities, or favorite weapons. It’s a really fun-looking piece of bold graphic art that obviously had a lot of thought put into it. And when so much thought is put into a simple poster, who knows what we’ll be getting with the film?

Written and directed by James Gunn, The Suicide Squad arrives in theaters on August 6, 2021.
