James Gunn and the huge cast of DC's The Suicide Squad shared an exciting first look at the new movie during DC FanDome. Check out the behind-the-scenes featurette above.

It seems we're in for some pretty epic set pieces and explosions from the new team, which looks to have the perfect balance of obscure anti-heroes and household names. Check out the full line-up of James Gunn's new Suicide Squad. 

In the featurette, the director says: “[It was] really, truly, just the most fun I’ve ever had. I loved the movie. The studio is overwhelmingly happy with the movie.” He also added, “It’s the greatest cast I’ve ever worked with by far.” Damn, poor Guardians of the Galaxy…
