"Generally though, superhero movies are totally sexist," Delevingne told Empire (via TheWrap ). "Female superheroes are normally naked or in bikinis. No one would be able to fight like that. Wonder Woman, how the hell does she fight? She would be dead in a minute."Why then has she signed on for the role of Enchantress? When asked about her decision to portray this character in the upcoming superhero film, she replied: "There are only three girls in [Suicide Squad] but in my opinion they have the best roles."Suicide Squad is set to hit theaters sometime in 2016.
