Empire Cover Shows ‘Suicide Squad’ Cast and Costumes

They are the DC Universe’s most dangerous and crazy black ops unit. Taking on missions that no one organization could handle. They’re colorful, they’re kooky, they are…the Suicide Squad.

Thanks to Empire and James Gunn, fans got a taste of what the motley assortment of baddies and crazies appearing in The Suicide Squad will look like in full costumed glory.

Gunn shared a Tweet on October 23, 2020, that gave everyone a good look at the cover for the upcoming fall issue.
