The cover offers a full look at Leto’s take on the clown prince of crime as he holds onto an electrified weapon in each hand. (Whether the shockers in his hards are a new form of the Joker’s electric joy buzzers or if it means he’s lifted these weapons from DC Comics villain Electrocutioner remains to be seen.) “I took a pretty deep dive,” [Leto told _Empire_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/10/26/jared-leto-joker-suicide-squad) of his method of portraying the iconic character. “But this was a unique opportunity and I couldn’t imagine doing it another way. It was fun, playing those psychological games.” > [](https://twitter.com/DavidAyerMovies/status/659030390477209600) Ayer also released the next in what is presumably a set of covers, giving what is perhaps our best look yet of Cara Delevingne in character as Enchantress. > [](https://twitter.com/DavidAyerMovies/status/659034639911116801) For more on the titular squad, check out [_Empire_’s preview](http://www.empireonline.com/features/suicidesquad) of the 2016 film. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/10/27/joker-suicide-squad-cover-jared-leto) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com/) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4089400/jared-leto-cara-delevingne-suicide-squad/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4089400/jared-leto-cara-delevingne-suicide-squad/"},"headline":"See Jared Leto and Cara Delevingne in Suicide Squad Gear","datePublished":"2015-10-27T18:12:22.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T12:07:06.559Z","description":"Director David Ayer showed off two 'Empire' covers featuring the stars","url":"https://time.com/4089400/jared-leto-cara-delevingne-suicide-squad/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5b4f77e7c78d364b/69886e5f8e0601cbfe46308d/csvypa_veaaylsk.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Jonathon Dornbush / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5b4f77e7c78d364b/69886e5f8e0601cbfe46308d/csvypa_veaaylsk.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"CSVYpa_VEAAyLsk","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4089400/jared-leto-cara-delevingne-suicide-squad/","name":"See Jared Leto and Cara Delevingne in Suicide Squad Gear"}}]}] ```
