A new set video from James Gunn's The Suicide Squad may reveal Idris Elba's extravagant costume for the film.
In the video, Elba can be seen walking down a street in a long black cape while being followed by two other characters. Several other scenes are featured in the video, including one showing a group being arrested and thrown into an armored car, and it was mentioned that John Cena also appears. Of course, it's also worth noting this may not be Elba's actual costume but instead something being used to obscure it from set photos and videos.
Aside from the returning cast members from 2016's Suicide Squad, few actors' roles have been officially confirmed, but there has been plenty of speculation. That said, The Suicide Squad's plot has also been heavily kept under wraps, so it's unknown if Elba will be playing a large part in the film.
Written and directed by James Gunn, The Suicide Squad stars Margot Robbie, Viola Davis, Joel Kinnaman, Jai Courtney, David Dastmalchian, John Cena, Joaquin Cosio, Nathan Fillion, Mayling Ng, Flula Borg, Sean Gunn, Juan Diego Botto, Storm Reid, Pete Davidson, Taika Waititi, Alice Braga, Steve Agee, Tinashe Kajese, Daniela Melchior, Peter Capaldi, Julio Ruiz, Jennifer Holland, Idris Elba and Michael Rooker. The film arrives in theaters Aug. 6, 2021.
