There's Will Smith, as Deadshot, with shaved head, goatee and a very large gun.

Ayer also posted a separate photo of Smith, showing off his machinery.

Meanwhile in the group photo, Smith's "Focus" co-star Margot Robbie, who plays Harley Quinn, looks like a scary goth cheerleader with blue streaks in her hair, while model Cara Delevingne appears dark and mysterious as Enchantress.

"This will be magic," Delevinge wrote on Instagram, where she posted the cast photo.

Missing in the photo were Jared Leto as the Joker and Viola Davis, who will play Amanda Waller, the government agent who manages this squad of villains turned heroes.

Ayer tweeted an earlier preview of Leto in character, and he's definitely no joke.

"Suicide Squad," based on the DC comic, began production in Toronto last month and is currently scheduled for release in August 2016.
