We weren't expecting this until a little later today, but the new trailer for James Gunn's The Suicide Squad has now been shared online ahead of schedule.
As previously reported, the trailer features a direct reference to Bloodsport trying to take Superman out with a Kryptonite bullet, but there's plenty more besides as the members of Task Force X embark on "Operation Starfish" (no, that's nothing to do with the slang word for butthole).
This is the version of the teaser that's currently playing as a YouTube ad on certain videos (why they don't just officially release the damn thing online is anyone's guess), so it may not stay up for very long. Check it out below while you can, and let us know what you think.

"Welcome to hell — a.k.a. Bell Reve, the prison with the highest mortality rate in the US of A. Where the worst Super-Villains are kept and where they will do anything to get out — even join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X. Today's do-or-die assignment? Assemble a collection of cons, including Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, Ratcatcher 2, Savant, King Shark, Blackguard, Javelin, and everyone's favorite psycho, Harley Quinn. Then arm them heavily and drop them (literally) on the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese."
"Trekking through a jungle teeming with militant adversaries and guerrilla forces at every turn, the Squad is on a search-and- destroy mission with only Colonel Rick Flag on the ground to make them behave...and Amanda Waller’s government techies in their ears, tracking their every movement. And as always, one wrong move and they’re dead (whether at the hands of their opponents, a teammate, or Waller herself). If anyone’s laying down bets, the smart money is against them—all of them."
We recently found out that the movie was officially rated R for "strong violence and gore, language throughout, some sexual references, drug use and brief graphic nudity."
The Suicide Squad is set to premiere on HBO Max and in theaters on August 6.
