JOEL KINNAMAN ON RICK FLAGG

haven't really done that on that scale with that many extras before. When James said that he was making it a war movie, I didn't really think he actually meant a war movie, so that was pretty cool.

Q: Were you relieved to know that your costume was a lot less intricate than some of your costars?

Kinnaman: Yeah. My makeup times were very easy. I'd pop in, and it probably took me like five minutes in makeup and costume. Margot's just sitting there for two hours, with full body makeup. I'm shooting For All Mankind right now. In that one, I'm now feeling the three-hour makeup in the morning pain. So I'm paying it back on For All Mankind.

Q: Which members of the Squad are Rick closest to in the film? And who gets on his nerves the most?

Kinnaman: Well, actually in this one, Flag and Harley have become much closer, as you'll see... and also with Captain Boomerang. They're sort of like, OG Squad members now. I think everyone else, he's constantly very suspicious of.

The Suicide Squad opens on Aug. 6 in theaters and HBO Max.
