She is starring as the Enchantress in Suicide Squad - a powerful sorceress whose inability to control her magical powers makes her a liability.

And Cara Delevingne looked ready to take on the role when she arrived on set for her first day of filming on Monday.

The 22-year-old model was spotted emerging from a car wrapped up in a fluffy white dressing gown and black sandals in Toronto, Canada.

With her long light brown hair curled into loose waves, the model looked stunning in understated make-up as she prepared to film scenes for the new superhero movie.

She has already hyped up the new film which also stars Margot Robbie, Jared Leto, WiIl Smith and Ben Affleck, saying it will be the 'best thing in the world'.

'It's f***ing insane. The camaraderie on set is insane,' she told Entertainment Weekly.

'I'm not the biggest fan of superhero films. There are so f***ing many. I love the Batmans, but some of them I'm not that keen on.

In her comic book incarnation she is a schizophrenic with two distinct personalities and can be a hero or villain depending on which side is in control of her magical abilities at any time.

This can lead to problems when she switches in the middle of a mission.

Her human host is June Moone who became the Enchantress after stumbling across a secret chamber in a remote castle.

In the past few weeks, pictures have emerged of other members of the cast in full costume including Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and Jared Leto as The Joker.

The Batmobile was spotted for the first time on the set of David Ayer's anti-hero blockbuster last week.

Cara has also been confirmed as the lead in Luc Besson's new flick, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets alongside Dane Dehaan.
