Suicide Squad is a film based on the DC comic-book series of the same name. According to Vogue, characters in the movie play a group of "anti-heroes," who are employed by the government and required to go on missions, which will reduce their prison sentences.
“The Warner Bros. roots are deep on this one,” Warner Bros. president Greg Silverman said in a statement, via a Variety report on Tuesday. “We look forward to seeing this terrific ensemble, under David Ayer’s amazing guidance, give new meaning to what it means to be a villain and what it means to be a hero.”
In addition to the roles listed, Delevingne is also starring in two more films, Paper Towns and Pan, both due out in 2015.
Suicide Squad begins filming this April in Toronto, and will hit theaters on Aug. 5, 2016.
