This year has been a very quiet one for fans of the DC Extended Universe. I think we can all agree that The Suicide Squad is the most anticipated DC film of 2021, especially with James Gunn in the Director’s chair.
James Gunn’s fresh take on the group featuring some of the most dangerous supervillains brings back Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn, Viola Davis’ Amanda Waller, Joel Kinnaman’s Rick Flag, Jai Courtney’s Captain Boomerang and more with a group of new recruits to bolster the ranks, including Idris Elba’s hair-triggered Bloodsport, Sylvester Stallone’s fin-tastic King Shark, Weasel (Sean Gunn) and John Cena’s Peacemaker.
The film looks set to feature plenty of fresh laughs, especially with the group’s confusion about Weasel’s true nature (and his, er, violent past) and Peacemaker making an ass-umption that causes merriment amongst his comrades.
In comparison to David Ayer’s first Suicide Squad film, I think it is pretty clear that James Gunn has gone for a more lighter tone with plenty of frenetic action, with the caveat that several of the characters are unlikely to survive the mission.
