New ‘The Suicide Squad’ Image Teases Idris Elba, Peter Capaldi, and David Dastmalchian Undercover

Today, James Gunn posted on his Twitter account another sneak peek at his upcoming film, The Suicide Squad. In his tweet, he attached a picture of actors Idris Elba (Bloodsport), David Dastmalchian (Polka-Dot Man), and Peter Capaldi (The Thinker) strutting through what looks like some sort of nightclub. The lighting is low, there's a pillar-esque statue covered in some tacky wallpaper, and a woman in the background is either deeply concerned by their appearance, or harshly judging Dastmalchian's clashing clothing patterns.
