Viola Davis’s Amanda Waller is a total badass in new Suicide Squad trailer

The Suicide Squad is a gaggle of killer misfits with loads of personality, but they wouldn’t be much of anything without their “puppet master” Amanda Waller.

In the movie’s latest clip showcased on IMDB, Waller (played by Viola Davis, perhaps best known for her role in The Help) is given a few well placed one liners, slathered with a thick layer of attitude.

“Everyone has a weakness, and a weakness can be leveraged,” she quips in a husky, humourless tone.

Of course, while the trailer does showcase Leto’s Joker makeup, Margot Robbie’s brilliant pony-tailed dye-job as Harley Quinn, and Will Smith’s luxurious beard, it’s clear that Waller will likely be a character most viewers — fans and newcomers — will absolutely love.

Suicide Squad will debut in South Africa on 5 August, but for a quick minute with some of the movie’s stars, have a look at the trailer below.
