Hollywood icon Will Smith says he is convinced Suicide Squad will be a big box office success.
Smith, who appears alongside Jared Leto and Margot Robbie, reassures fans of the comic-book characters that they will fully enjoy the experience on the big screen.
He explained to SciFiNow magazine: “The thing with this movie, it’s the beauty of comic-book films in general, that there’s a built-in curiosity, so that is part of an entire world that people have already seen seven, eight, ten movies within the world.”
Due to the fans’ appreciation of the characters, he believes they will happily embrace the movie and is positive there will be no disappointments.
He added: “I don’t think that getting people is going to be an issue. It’s when they get there are they going to be an issue.
“It’s like when they are there are they going to like what they see, and we all feel very confident that when you sit down, you’re going to really enjoy getting to meet the ‘Suicide Squad.‘”
Cara Delevingne, meanwhile, had previously stated she had to get nude to land a role in the DC film. She revealed that director David Ayer instructed her to remove her clothes in a forest at night to get into character. The actress plays June Moon (as well as Enchantress) in the fantasy film.
Delevingne stated: “I feel like I got a bit more information about one [role] than the other. The first thing that David mentioned to me before I got the role was only about the Enchantress side. It was more about finding that part of myself studying addiction and desperation and that void.”
She continued: “One of the first things he [Ayer] said was, ‘Go to the forest, the country, hopefully under the full moon, naked and feel what that feels like. And I was like ‘this is f***ing awesome! Ok, I’m going to do that!’ And I didn’t even have the part yet. That character was a lot more freeing in a way.”
