Watch: 'Suicide Squad' Comic-Con trailer released online

After exclusive footage shown at the San Diego Comic-Con 2015 leaked online, Warner Bros has released the official trailer for the upcoming film Suicide Squad. Fans at Comic-Con had got a a first look at the film highlighting a band of anti-heroes, after which  poor quality videos of the same started circulating online.

In a statement on the leaked trailer, Warner Bros said, “Warner Bros. Pictures and our anti-piracy team have worked tirelessly over the last 48 hours to contain the Suicide Squad footage that was pirated from Hall H on Saturday. We have been unable to achieve that goal. Today we will release the same footage that has been illegally circulating on the web, in the form it was created and high quality with which it was intended to be enjoyed. We regret this decision as it was our intention to keep the footage as a unique experience for the Comic Con crowd, but we cannot continue to allow the film to be represented by the poor quality of the pirated footage stolen from our presentation.” 

The cast of the much-awaited film, which includes Will Smith, Jai Courtney, Joel Kinnaman, Margot Robbie, Cara Delevingne and Viola Davis, had made a surprise appearance at ongoing Comic-Con.

"All this good vs evil is played out. It's time for bad versus evil," director David Ayer said.

Suicide Squad features all prominent DC super villains, all of whom team together to battle a larger evil.  The film will release on August 5, 2016.
