Over the weekend, directorDavid Ayershared anew posterfor his highly-anticipated comic book adaptationSuicide Squad, and it proved to be one of the most unique one-sheets we’ve seen this year. As we get closer and closer to the August 5 premiere date, IMAX has unveiled yet another new poster. But this one doesn’t exactly show us the members of Task Force X. Instead it teases how they might be portrayed if these characters got their own breakfast cereal. This latest sneak peek shows all the individual logos for each character as breakfast cereal marshmallows.
If that wasn’t enough, we also have a newIMAXbanner featuring several of the main characters. Last April, Warner Bros. inked a new deal with IMAX through the year 2020 that will cover 30 movies, includingSuicide Squad. It’s possible that this cereal poster will be given out to fans as an IMAX exclusive during midnight showings, but we don’t know for sure.
It feels good to be bad… Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Supervillains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officerAmanda Wallerhas determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will theSuicide Squadresolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?
