In the video, it appears as though armed guards are ushering Elba and Cena’s characters into an armored truck. Perhaps this is the government arresting the characters and forcing them to join Task Force X. Additionally, Elba can be seen wearing a large cloak that could be hiding his character’s super suit. This is the second leak from the set of The Suicide Squad in as many days.
