The new teaser for Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of one Harley Quinn) clocks in at just under 20 seconds, and much of that runtime is dedicated to unveiling Margot Robbie and her colorful new outfit, but in a series of pause-worthy shots, the preview also shows off several of Harley’s supporting players.

Chris Messina, for instance, can be spotted in the role of Victor Zsasz, a serial killer who’ll likely be working as a henchman for Ewan McGregor’s Black Mask. Based on what the teaser shows us, Victor’s appearance could end up being a bit of a departure from the comics, though Messina at least seems to have the psychopathic grin down right.
