Sounds like Jared Leto wasn't the only person on the set of Suicide Squad to use unconventional means to up the chaos factor.

Director David Ayer insisted the cast of his anti-hero comic book movie got together for intense group therapy sessions as part of their preparations, reports EW (via Yahoo).

Then during filming, he'd use their deepest secrets against them to illicit spontaneous and unhinged performances from his cast.

It's been well documented that Leto pulled a range of weird stunts, including sending a dead pig and used condoms to his co-stars.

It just remains to be seen if all this 'anarchy' translates to a decent ensemble movie.

Alongside Leto as The Joker it stars Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Will Smith as Deadshot, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang and Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flagg. Ben Affleck is definitely going to pop up as Batman, too.

EW has run a set of different Suicide Squad covers. Check these out and a bunch of new pictures from the film here.

Suicide Squad is released in cinemas on August 5.
