The cast and crew may have wrapped up the film production back in August, but more information about "Suicide Squad" movie continue to be revealed by various media outlets.
According to a report from FOX 13 News, details about the flashy getaway car of the Joker were unveiled by Matt McEntegart, the vehicle's designer.
Based in St. Petersburg, Florida, the kit car designer shared some secrets about making the getaway car of Batman's mortal enemy.
The custom car designer recalled that he received a call from someone who supplies automobiles to film production outfits, saying that they had a character who would look perfect behind one of his kit cars from his custom car company. The car is called the Vaydor.
"They said, 'It's going to be the villain's car. Do you mind?' I'm like, 'No, that's perfect!'" McEntegart shared.
The custom car designer already knew what car to provide to one of the most vicious comic book villains of all time. "I wanted something different. I'm a fan of the supercar look," McEntegart explained.
He came up with a design that would use a sturdy fiberglass body and accompanying hardware and accessories that will suit the chassis of a regular Infinity G-35 and painted it with the Joker's signature purple color. As a result, the reasonably priced car turned into a sports car.
The custom kit car is being sold for $16,000.
While the design for the custom-built Jokermobile can be easily explained by its designer, one of the film's producers said that the actor who portrays the iconic role of The Clown Prince of Crime Jared Leto deliberately isolated himself from the rest of the cast to be able to get into character during the film's production.
In an interview with the Collider, film producer Charles Roven shared that Leto kept to himself and required people to call him "Mr. J" so he can give justice to the role.
"He did in many ways isolate himself from the rest of the group, but that's really what his character was, the purpose of his character in many ways, other than when he was with Harley or trying to get Harley," Roven explained.
The Joker will join the rest of the villains in "Suicide Squad," debuting in the US on Aug. 5, 2016.
