#TheSuicideSquad was completely finished and cut and I made every choice and they never once slightly interfered. They gave very few notes – usually good and small, and I took them when I wanted to and not when I did not want to. Warners were creatively incredible.

The Suicide Squad, for the DCEU, is one of several major Warner Bros. movies to be released simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max this year – and with ‘carte blanche’ to kill members of the suicide squad he wanted to kill ( even Harley). Quinn), Gunn loaded the movie with obscure cannon fodder like Blackguard, Javelin, Polka-Dot Man, Savant, and more.In the DC comics, the Suicide Squad gained the reputation of having an increasing number of body numbers – a trend that continued into the anti-hero team’s various other incarnations and adaptations.
Because every member of the group can be spent once again, no one can be sure who will survive Gunn’s gentle recharge, even though there are many candidates. The film stars Idris Elba as Bloodsport, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, John Cena as Peacemaker, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, David Dastmalchian as Polka-Dot Man, Daniela Melchior as Ratcatcher II, Steve Agee as King Shark and John Economos, Sean Gunn as Weasel, Flula Borg as Javelin, Nathan Fillion as TDK, Peter Capaldi as The Thinker, Pete Davidson as Blackguard, Alice Braga as Sol Soria, Mayling Ng as Mongal, Juan Diego Botto as Luna, and Michael Rooker as Savant.
The Suicide Squad debuts on August 6, 2021 in theaters and on HBO Max. There is no trailer for the film yet, but Warners has recorded some footage in a sissy reel of upcoming releases. Gunn is also writing and directing a TV series Suicide Squad starring John Cena’s character Peacemaker. No release window has yet been set for that, though it is expected to premiere after The Suicide Squad.
