Rumor has it that Cara Delevingne is the Main Villain in "Suicide Squad"

But we'll have to wait another year to find out for sure.

If you’re a dedicated Suicide Squad fan who has closely watched this summer’s trailer for the upcoming film, then you might have noticed something odd about some of the footage. Though most of the shots show members of the team together, there are some solo shots of Cara Delevingne. In other words, because Delevingne is not featured with other members of the Squad, gossip websites are starting to muse that perhaps Develingne is the as-yet-unnamed villain of the movie, Screen Crush reports. Heroic Hollywood takes this theory even further and posits that the character the model/actress is playing is on a mission to locate and resurrect her dead brother in the hopes that they can destroy the world together.

While this might sound far-fetched, it’s actually not. In the comics, an artsy girl named June Moone discovers an evil entity and absorbs its power, becoming the Enchantress. Because Delevingne is the only actor in the trailer not featured with other members of the Squad, by power of deduction, one could surmise that she’s probably the Enchantress. Especially given the way she’s depicted in the footage—we see her exploring a dark cavern, taking a bath in mucky water, and wearing a pentagram scrawled on her head—the rumor seems more than likely to be true.

But I guess we’ll just have to wait until August 5, 2016 to find out for sure.
