Cara Delevingne unrecognisable as Suicide Squad’s Enchantress

CARA Delevingne looks absolutely terrifying as her Suicide Squad character, Enchantress, on the cover of Empire magazine.

SHE’S busy making her transition from model to film star, and Cara Delevingne is sure to scare the pants off fans when she appears in Suicide Squad.

The model looks absolutely terrifying in character on the cover of Empire magazine’s December issue, in fact it’s hard to believe it really is her.

The 23-year-old British star plays Enchantress in the upcoming superhero film, and she appears on the mag’s cover a cleavage-baring armoured ensemble with matching headgear, surrounded by skulls. But it is her hollowed out eyes and chilling expression that is the stuff of nightmares.

“She’s an ancient sorceress. A feral being,” Delevingne told the magazine of her character. “She’s been trapped for so long and now she’s finally let out.”

Suicide Squad director David Ayer tweeted Delevingne’s creepy Empire cover overnight, captioning the photo, “She’s making her own rules.”

Ayer also posted Jared Leto’s Suicide Squadcover, revealing the tattoo-clad actor in his full Joker get-up.

“Another shocking look at Mr. J,” he wrote.
