A new look at the visual effects behind “Suicide Squad” suggest that supermodel-turned-actress Cara Delevingne was altered to look slimmer.
The video clip showcases the VFX work deployed on the Warner Bros. film by Sony Imageworks, a staple in the action genre who have brought sequences to life for movies like “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “The Amazing Spider-Man.”
Delevingne’s character Enchantress is shown in various stages of effects, and there’s a pretty convincing GIF circulating (see below) that demonstrates how the spokeswoman for Chanel and Tom Ford was made to look thinner.
In the footage, Delevingne is first seen in practical body makeup and her costume (commonly referred to as a “hero plate,” or footage of a character before effects are layered on top). The following shots show the sides of her torso reduced dramatically, and her entire body lengthened from bust to thigh.
Representatives for the studio and Sony Imageworks did not immediately return TheWrap’s request for comment.
“Disappointed, though unsurprised,” the official account for Teen Vogue tweeted over the images, echoing similar sentiments from the model’s fans.
“Suicide Squad,” a WB/DC Film, grossed nearly $750 million worldwide despite poor critical reception. It went on to win an Oscar. Watch the full VFX clip below the GIF.
11 DC Comics Superheroes and Villains Who Deserve R-Rated Movies (Photos)
With R-rated films like "Logan" brutalizing the box office, an insider tells TheWrap that DC Films would "100 percent" make R-rated superhero movies with the right characters. Here are a few suggestions for characters dark enough to demand an R rating.
1. Justice League Dark
Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment released a successful R-rated "Justice League Dark" animated movie, and there's no reason they can't do the same in live action.
DC Comics
2. Suicide Squad 2
The first "Suicide Squad" focused on hardened criminals, but they kept things PG-13. They could do a lot more damage with an R rating.
Warner Bros.
3. Deadshot
Warner Bros. is looking to spin off Will Smith's hardened "Suicide Squad" character. An R-rating would make a lot of sense, given that he's a professional assassin.

4. Gotham City Sirens
Warners is also looking to spin off Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn character from "Suicide Squad." We all know the streets of Gotham are deadly enough to deserve an R rating.
DC Comics
5. Lobo
A film about DC's badass alien bounty hunter Lobo is in development, with Jason Fuchs developing a screenplay. An alien can't be expected to abide by MPAA standards.
DC Comics
6. Black Adam
Dwayne Johnson is attached to star as outlaw "Black Adam" for New Line. In the comics, Black Adam rules his own nation — the fictional Middle Eastern country Kahndaq — as a beloved, if violent, dictator. R territory for sure.
DC Comics
7. Nightwing
Bruce Wayne's former ward Dick Grayson set off on his own in the comics, and is expected to get his own movie as well in "Nightwing." R is for Robin.

8. Red Hood
If DC Films is making a "Nightwing" movie, how about focusing on another Bat-underling? Ex-Robin Jason Todd came back from the dead to avenge his killing as Red Hood, and a PG-13 probably can't contain all his rage.
DC Comics
9. Arkham Asylum
The video game series featuring all of Gotham City's craziest villains could easily lend itself to a film in the vein of David Fincher's "Seven."
DC Comics
10. Deathstroke
DC Comics assassin Deathstroke is the villain in the upcoming "The Batman," and if he merits a spinoff, it would be hard to imagine it as anything but an R movie.

11. The Batman
Making "The Batman" R-rated would send a signal that DC Films isn't messing around. In the "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" Ultimate Edition, Batman was at his most Frank Miller violent and brutal.
