The Suicide Squad Shatters Records As Most Watched Red Band Trailer Beating Mortal Kombat

Warner Bros.’ R-rated The Suicide Squad has set a new global record for the most-watched red band trailer in its first week, according to writer-director James Gunn. The studio behind the DC Films ensemble released the gore and swear-filled first red band trailer on March 26, revealing new looks at Rick Flag’s (Joel Kinnaman) squad of rogues who are dying to save the world: Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Bloodsport (Idris Elba), Peacemaker (John Cena), Polka-Dot Man (David Dastmalchian), and King Shark (voice of Sylvester Stallone) — who are all one trigger away from being blown to bits by Amanda Waller (Viola Davis).
