Suicide Squad TV Spot Airs During NBA Finals

Warner Bros. has released a new TV spot in support of August's release of DC's Suicide Squad. It first debuted during tonight's NBA Finals game.

There may be a few frames of new footage here and there, but largely it centers on the same beats we've seen in previous trailers, with a healthy focus on Harley Quinn and Deadshot.

Just yesterday, the film was rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America. Earlier today, they unveiled a merchandising effort including clothes, toys, statues, and more.

With the success of the R-rated Deadpool from Fox earlier this year, there had been some speculation that Suicide Squad could be rated R. Filmmakers and producers, though, have said that there's no chance of that. Nevertheless, filmmaker David Ayer has indicated that he's open to R-rated sequels. There's a spinoff reportedly in the works that will center on Harley Quinn and a number of other female DC superheroes.

It feels good to be bad…Assemble a team of the world's most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government's disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren't picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it's every man for himself?

Suicide Squad hits theaters August 5, 2016.
