Just days before The Suicide Squad premieres in theaters and on HBO Max, a new movie poster has been released that warns of the death toll.

The landscape poster features most of Task Force X, including Harley Quinn, Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Rick Flag, Captain Boomerang, Polka Dot Man, King Shark, Savant, the Thinker, TDK, Ratcatcher 2, Weasel, and Javelin. They are all lying down in the middle of a large orange star, mimicking the villain, Starro. At the top of the poster, the tagline suggests, “Don’t get too attached.”

Starro the Conqueror has been teased in the trailer, showing the mind-controlling alien’s large size. Shaped like a giant starfish, it can shoot smaller starfish, connect with humans to control their minds, and absorb brain energy.

In July, director James Gunn dropped a Starro-themed poster that shows the smaller starfish covering the faces of the Suicide Squad.

The Suicide Squad is now in theaters and on HBO Max. Written and directed by Gunn, it sees the return of Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, and Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang in the roles they originated in 2016’s Suicide Squad.

The large ensemble cast also includes Idris Elba as Bloodsport, John Cena as Peacemaker, Michael Rooker as Savant, Alice Braga as SolSoria, Nathan Fillion as TDK, Pete Davidson as Blackguard, David Dastmalchian as Polka-Dot Man, Sean Gunn as Weasel, Mikaela Hoover as Camila, Peter Capaldi as Thinker, Sylvester Stallone voicing King Shark, and Taika Waititi as Ratcatcher.
