Cara Delevingne is having a hell of a week, having just won Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards before surprising us all with a new role in the DC Comics Suicide Squad movie. We knew a few of the casting choices for this movie about super villains offered a government pardon to go on a suicide mission. Jared Leto had been rumored to be The Joker (who was never a member of the Suicide Squad before, damnit), and Will Smith was set to join the ensemble cast as the deadly hitman Deadshot. It had also been pretty much confirmed that Margot Robbie was going to play cosplay favorite Harley Quinn, who doubles as the Joker’s groupie. [photo: Pascal Le Segretain/Getty]
But it was a big shock when Cara Delevingne showed up in the cast of the Suicide Squad. She’s been announced as playing The Enchantress–who’s kind of a schizoid sorceress who’s been known to bedevil Supergirl in the past. We’d never really thought about it, but, yeah, Cara does kind of look like The Enchantress…
And, unlike the Joker, The Enchantress has actually been in the Suicide Squad comics. This might explain why Cara couldn’t make the 2014 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show earlier today. She might have been too busy cramming in a final audition before showing up at the British Fashion Awards. Anyway, we couldn’t be happier–especially since we also got a sexy version of the Marvel Comic’s villain named The Enchantress in this year’s fine adult parody called Thor XXX (SFW link, folks).
We think Cara’s going to really revive interest in this forgotten DC Comics version. And if you need to get some revived interest in the Model of the Year, then check out these pics of Cara at her sexiest over the past several months. We hate to think about how this is going to cut back on Cara’s modeling, but we’re looking forward to a lot of hot Enchantress cosplay at the conventions once Suicide Squad comes out…
