The model is barely unrecognisable as the DC Comics sorceress, which sees her sporting dark Gothic make-up and witchcraft-inspired tattoos and wearing a metallic bikini on the front cover of the December edition of Empire. Details have been scarce about what to expect from the character, but with 10 months to go until the movies release, we now have our best look at her yet.
Covered in various ancient symbols of witchcraft and magic, people unfamiliar with the comicbook villain will be left in no doubt that she’s a being of incredible magical power and potency. This cover is more sexualized and exploitative than other promotional materials so far, but hopefully that’s just to sell magazines, and doesn’t speak to David Ayer’s treatment of the character and actress.
However, it sounds as though she has been trapped deep in the earth for cryptic reasons, and her only way out is through the conduit of a young woman’s body. We know she’s played by Cara Delevingne. Also a lot of Megadeth.
More collectable covers and characters should be on their way the rest of the week, though these “psychos, killers and freaks” still won’t be wrecking havoc on the big screen until August 5, 2016.
