'Suicide Squad' officially wraps production

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 28 (UPI) -- Suicide Squad officially wrapped production ahead of its Aug. 5, 2016 release Thursday.

Director David Ayer announced the news with photos of the cast and crew on Twitter, writing, "It's a wrap folks! #SuicideSquad #WarnerBros #DCComics." Actors Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman and Cara Delevingne were among those pictured.

Kinnaman, who will portray Rick Flagg in the film, also shared a snapshot from the celebration. "Last night with the #skwad," he wrote. "It feels like 10 years has gone by, and at the same time like we just got here. Usually feel lifted when I finish a project but these people cut deep."

Robbie had tattooed Ayer in her Harley Quinn costume ahead of the wrap last week, while co-star Will Smith inked Kinnaman and Jai Courtney. The trio were among the cast and crew to commemorate their time on set with a matching "SKWAD" tattoo.
