Suicide Squad
James Gunn has revealed a production bill sticker for his DCEU pic , The Suicide Squad . Prior to being rehired to directGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 3last year , Gunn sign on to write and direct a fond continuation of David Ayer’sSuicide Squadfor Warner Bros. Far from being a"total reboot"(as producer Peter Safran once call it ) , Gunn’sThe Suicide Squadwill include a handful of type from Ayer ’s DCEU film , include Amanda Waller ( Viola Davis ) , Harley Quinn ( Margot Robbie ) , Captain Boomerang ( Jai Courtney ) , and Rick Flag ( Joel Kinnaman ) . At the same time , the Squad will introduce several new members to the team .
Unlike Ayer ’s movie , The Suicide Squadpromises to truly live up to its name andkill off multiple Squad membersover the course of its runtime ; in fact , awhole team of them might be deadby the prison term the first act is done . This further explains why the film ’s cast is being surplus cagey about break who they ’re really playing , lest fans guess ahead of sentence which of their characters are spendable based on their importance in the original DC funny rule book . Even so , the latest graphics for the flick ready it clear just how bad the Squad ’s fortune of survival actually are .

In a mail onInstagram , Gunn revealedThe Suicide Squadposter designed by John Sloboda to mark the recent pass completion of yield ( see below ) . As the filmmaker explain in his post , this is an unofficial notice in the mother wit that it wo n’t be released in theatre or used to commercialize the movie in a formal mental ability .
For the most part , the arm depicted onThe Suicide Squadposter are secondary generic and difficult to connect to a specific comic Word fiber . The exceptions , of form , areCaptain Boomerang ’s weapon of choice(hint : it ’s in his name ) and Harley ’s iconic hammer , which are feature conspicuously among the pile of artillery , grenade , heater , and rake in this nontextual matter . Other characters to a great extent rumored , but not yet substantiate , forThe Suicide Squadinclude Peacemaker ( John Cena … maybe ) and Vigilante ( Idris Elba ’s alleged role ) , in increase to as obscure scoundrel like Polka - Dot Man ( David Dastmalchian ) . However , there ’s not really anything here that hard substantiate their involvement , nor that of other rumored Squad penis like Arm - Fall - Off - Boy ( whoNathan Fillion assert he is not play ) and King Shark ( a function Steve Agee has been linked to , despiteGunn ’s recent denial ) .
Again , the secrecy aroundThe Suicide Squadis sensible ; as this card have all too vindicated , there will be blood in the movie , and possibly enough toland the moving-picture show an R rating(much like last calendar month ’s Harley Quinn - ledBirds of Prey ) . The rumors are similarly hopeful since they suggest Gunn is really leaning into the weirdness ofThe Suicide Squadproperty and leave it some right stakes by create it undecipherable who , exactly , will make it out of the film alive . Gunn got good at weave together disconsolate wit with emotionally rich drama over the grade of the first twoGuardiansmovies , so that too bodes well for his effort here . With a little luck , then , The Suicide Squadwill give birth the experience fans of the original comic books have always wanted , but did n’t get from Ayer ’s adaptation .
