Ortega—Getty Images by [Jonathon Dornbush / Entertainment Weekly](https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## Jonathon Dornbush / Entertainment Weekly Oct 28, 2015 7:50 PM UTC Director David Ayer has continued revealing the squad (or [skwad](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/08/19/suicide-squad-cast-tattoos) for some) of his latest film, and after providing a look at Jared Leto’s Joker and Cara Delevigne’s Enchantress, he’s ready to introduce two more members of the _Suicide Squad_. Ayer revealed the _Empire_ magazine covers for Deadshot, played by Will Smith, and Harley Quinn, played by Margot Robbie. While Robbie has been front and center when it comes to the film’s marketing and trailers, her baseball bat apparently with her wherever she goes, Smith’s Deadshot has been less frequently at the forefront. Smith’s take on the DC Comics villain has a cover of his own, and while he may not be as clearly tattooed as Robbie’s Quinn, even his armor has a bullseye marker on it, just in case the massive gun in his hands didn’t clue you into his area of expertise. > [](https://twitter.com/DavidAyerMovies/status/659395728146436096) > [](https://twitter.com/DavidAyerMovies/status/659397770189541376) For more on the titular squad, [check out the covers for the Joker and Enchantress](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/10/27/joker-suicide-squad-cover-jared-leto). _Suicide Squad_ hits theaters on Aug. 5, 2016. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/10/28/suicide-squad-harley-quinn-deadshot-empire-covers) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com/) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4091251/suicide-squad-deadshot-harley-quinn/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4091251/suicide-squad-deadshot-harley-quinn/"},"headline":"See Suicide Squad's Deadshot and Harley Quinn Cover Empire","datePublished":"2015-10-28T19:50:06.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T12:09:25.341Z","description":"Director David Ayer has continued revealing the squad via 'Empire' covers, this time adding Will Smith and Margot Robbie to the roster","url":"https://time.com/4091251/suicide-squad-deadshot-harley-quinn/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2b118ff7b018469c/698860b335ba6fda3fc0ed52/gettyimages-480410320.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/blt2b118ff7b018469c/698860b335ba6fda3fc0ed52/gettyimages-480410320.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"GettyImages-480410320","caption":"attends the Warner Bros. presentation during Comic-Con International 2015 at the San Diego Convention Center on July 11, 2015 in San Diego, California.","creditText":"Albert L.
