DC Readers: Attend A Free Early Screening Of ‘The Suicide Squad’

We’re happy to offer our readers the chance to attend a free early screening of James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad! The expendable villains of Task Force X are back on another suicidal mission, led by Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Idris Elba as Bloodsport, John Cena as Peacemaker, and more.

SYNOPSIS: Welcome to hell—a.k.a. Belle Reve, the prison with the highest mortality rate in the US of A. Where the worst Super-Villains are kept and where they will do anything to get out—even join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X. Today’s do-or-die assignment? Assemble a collection of cons, including Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, Ratcatcher 2, Savant, King Shark, Blackguard, Javelin and everyone’s favorite psycho, Harley Quinn. Then arm them heavily and drop them (literally) on the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese. Trekking through a jungle teeming with militant adversaries and guerrilla forces at every turn, the Squad is on a search-anddestroy mission with only Colonel Rick Flag on the ground to make them behave…and Amanda Waller’s government techies in their ears, tracking their every movement. And as always, one wrong move and they’re dead (whether at the hands of their opponents, a teammate, or Waller herself). If anyone’s laying down bets, the smart money is against them—all of them.

The screening takes place on Tuesday, August 3rd at 7:00pm at Regal Majestic in Silver Spring. If you’d like to attend, simply register at the Warner Bros. ticketing site here. Please remember all screenings are first come first served and if you’re late you’ll have to answer to Amanda Waller.

Enjoy the show! The Suicide Squad opens in theaters and HBO Max on August 6th.
