ScreenCrush’s Comic Strip is a weekly roundup of the hottest superhero movie/TV news items. From Marvel to DC and points in between, if it pertains to costumed comic book heroes, we’re covering it here, bringing you our expert analysis. This week, explore the party that is the Suicide Squad set, ponder some odd Michael Shannon comments, and parse the latest Marvel movie news.
The DC Movie Sets Sure Seem Like Fun
Lost and Game of Thrones veteran Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje recently celebrated his birthday on the set of Suicide Squad, where he is playing the hulking Batman baddie known as Killer Croc. Will Smith (who plays the villainous mercenary Deadshot) brought him a birthday cake.
Now that’s just delightful. In addition to showing off how good that practical make-up is under lighting conditions that aren’t especially cinematic, it gives us a glimpse of a film set where everyone is seemingly having a great and memorable time. And how do we know this? We know this because the cast and crew have started giving each other homemade tattoos
Jay Hernandez (who plays El Diablo) shared this photo on Instagram. It seems that Margot Robbie decided to start getting awfully literal with her grungy, tattooed take on Harley Quinn. This is the kind of set where everyone obviously liked each other well enough to let their co-stars ink them.
Seriously. Here is Jai Courtney (aka Captain Boomerang) showing off his prison-esque “SKWAD” tat, courtesy of Ms. Robbie. For those who don’t know, SKWAD is director David Ayer’s hashtag-friendly social media nickname for Suicide Squad.
Cast members celebrating a memorable film set by getting tattoos is nothing new. A portion of the Lord of the Rings cast famously celebrated the wrap of the trilogy by getting inked. But this is a special kind of nutty. No matter how Suicide Squad turns out in the end, this was the film set where everyone shared birthday cake with actors dressed like reptile monsters and gave each other amateur tattoos when they weren’t, you know, making a multi-million doll superhero movie. Your film sets certainly sound memorable, Mr. Ayer.
