Conan O'Brien continues broadcasting live from Comic-Con this week, and tonight he was visited by the cast of the widely anticipated movie 'Suicide Squad', including Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto, and Cara Delevingne.

'Suicide Squad' will be coming to theaters everywhere on August 4, but while you've been waiting to pre-order tickets, the cast has been doing the late-night talk show circuit. Tonight, the entire cast appeared on 'Conan' and the atmosphere was electric.

After playing a world-premiere clip of the movie, the cast discussed gossip from the set.

Jared Leto, who plays the Joker in the film, told Conan about his attempts at perfecting Joker's trademark laugh. Leto spent so much time on laughs, that fellow cast member Karen Fukuhara started to believe that he never broke character.

The cast then discussed the pranks that Will Smith played on set. According to Joel Kinnaman, who played Rick Flag, Jr.

in the film, Smith was enthralled with pouring steaming hot water on other cast members, and the prank quickly caught on.

By the end of filming, the entire cast was using buckets to dump water on each other and on the crew. Needless to say, the sound and camera operators were not happy when their expensive equipment got wet.

Conan then turned to Delevingne, who told the story of how the director helped her get into character.

The film's director told her: "if you ever find yourself in a forest, you should get naked" and assume the character.

Delevigne admitted that she immediately followed the advice; unfortunately, it looks like we will have to wait a few weeks to see how it worked out.
