A new photo from the set of James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad offers fans a look at some of the members of the titular team.

Although many films are being delayed due to the ongoing effects of the pandemic, The Suicide Squad remains on track to hit theaters in August 2021, and a freshset photo shows off some of the other members of the team aside from Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn or Idris Elba’s Bloodsport. Although the set photo doesn’t reveal anything about the plot of the film, it’s great to see the actors clearly enjoying their time making the supervillain teamup movie.

The new shot from James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad shows off Pete Davidson’s Blackguard alongside Flula Borg’s Javelin and Sean Gunn’s Weasel, although obviously the director’s brother is wearing a motion-capture suit for the role. Mayling Ng’s Mongal can also be seen to the left of the trio, but due to Davidson’s expression and Gunn’s obvious laugh, the group definitely had fun as the new Task Force X. It’ll be interesting to see what they’re up against in the film, although a snippet of the DC FanDome footage might’ve revealed Starro to be the villain. Take a look at the set photo from the James Gunn film below.
