It’s been four years since the last Suicide Squad film. Even though the last film had mixed reviews from fans and critics, it was still a box-office hit. Still the film became a household name to many fans and even help usher star actress Margot Robbie who played Harley Quinn into global stardom. The film’s success in the box-office and popular cult following eventually lead the studio to greenlighting a sequel.
The Suicide Squad film will be directed by former Guardians Of The Galaxy director James Gunn. Director David Ayer directed and even wrote the first Suicide Squad film. Ayer was set to direct the sequel, but left due to directing another planned DC Film Gotham City Sirens. The studio eventually went to another direction and chose Gunn instead. The upcoming film will be a soft reboot and a standalone sequel to the Suicide Squad film. So, it will be an interesting take on this film, especially with its new members and huge ensemble cast.
The Suicide Squad is scheduled to premiere next year, with veteran Marvel Cinematic Universe and Guardians of The Galaxy director James Gunn at the directing we can expect new and fresh ideas for this upcoming film. Many fans are hoping that with Gunn at the helm he can stir the Suicide Squad film franchise to a new direction. We can hope and see if this new iteration of DC Comics’ well known anti-hero team will get the highly positive reaction and success it deserves..
The Suicide Squad is scheduled to release in theaters August 6th, 2021.
