‘Suicide Squad’ Plot: Harley Quinn Betrays The Squad, Deathstroke As Amanda Waller’s Bodyguard -- Report
"Suicide Squad" has yet to wrap up casting calls but a supposed plot has already circulated the internet. According to the report, the villain Deathstroke will be featured in the film as Amanda Waller's bodyguard.
Galactic News shared on its Website a spoiler-rich report regarding the leaked plot in the movie. According to the site, a Reddit user claimed to have joined a focus test group to check David Ayer's version of the DC movie. Per Comicbookmovie it's not unusual for filmmakers to ask people to test their new movie, since at this stage they are still ironing out the details in the script.
According to the user, he spent an hour with some people over at Warner Bros. answering questions pertaining to the "Suicide Squad" script. They were reportedly given a one page summary of the movie's plot, where it specially talked about the characters Harley Quinn, The Joker, Amanda Waller and Deathstroke.
"Deathstroke is Amanda Waller's personal bodyguard and he's placed in the squad to oversee that they do not deviate from the mission perimeters," the user claimed.
These mission perimeters allegedly question the relationship between The Joker and Harley Quinn. According to the user in the plot Harley Quinn (Cara Delevingne) is tasked to "decipher a complex series of bombs planted throughout Gotham."
"Harley is estranged from The Joker, and her knowledge is being used to figure out where The Joker has placed the bombs," the user said, adding there will be a twist in the story as the devious Joker (Jared Leto) "has a far more complex goal in mind."
The user added that in some parts of the plot it would seem that Harley Quinn is the protagonist in "Suicide Squad." However, there are supposedly some scenes that show her betraying the squad in favour of The Joker.
Some concept photos were reportedly also shown to the focus test group including an art for Captain Boomerang and the "witch girl." However, what supposedly stood out was Deathstroke's look in "Suicide Squad." The villain was depicted having a realistic tech-geared look, which according to the user is by far the best design seen so far of the character. Moreover, the plot in the movie was supposedly inspired by "Speed," especially on the movie's "blend of action with a time sensitive conflict."
