After the Comic-Con leak, director David Ayer decided to release it online.
When the Suicide Squad cast crashed the Batman v Superman panel at Comic-Con, director David Ayer had a special surprise: A first look trailer, over a year before the movie hits theaters. "All this good versus evil sh*t is played out,” Ayer said in Hall H. “It’s time for bad versus evil."
Certain Comic-Con goers weren’t so good themselves, and a grainy phone recording of the trailer was online within the hour. Ayer was not pleased:
Shame our sneak peek Hall H footage was leaked. #notcool
it's unfair to the fans who waited in line. And not how I intended folks to see it.

It starts with Viola Davis as Amanda Waller giving us a cliff notes explanation of what Suicide Squad is: A task force of the most dangerous people on the planet, assembled to do good.
Or get killed in the process. Waller also name-drops Superman early on in the trailer, saying, “Maybe Superman was some kind of beacon for them to creep back from the shadows.”
Then we meet the Squad. Right off the top, you know this will be bonkers:
We’re getting peak Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) here, people. It’s everything we’ve ever wanted and more. And already, she’s endlessly GIF-able:
