The Suicide Squad is an upcoming American superhero film based on the DC Comics antihero team the Suicide Squad. It is intended to be a soft reboot and standalone sequel to Suicide Squad, and the tenth film in the DC Extended Universe. The film, written and directed by James Gunn, stars an ensemble cast led by Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, John Cena, Joel Kinnaman, Peter Capaldi, Sylvester Stallone, and Viola Davis. It will be released in the United States on August 6, 2021. A spin-off television series centered on Peacemaker is in development for HBO Max. The Suicide Squad sequel was announced in March 2016 before that film’s release, with David Ayer returning as director before dropping out in December 2016 for a Gotham City Sirens film. Warner Bros. hired Gavin O’Connor in September 2017, but he left a year later over creative differences. By October 2018, Gunn was hired to write the film after he had been temporarily dismissed by The Walt Disney Company from directing the Marvel Studios film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Gunn looked to the 1980s Suicide Squad comics for inspiration to focus on new characters rather than continue the prior film’s narrative.
Filming began in Atlanta, Georgia in September 2019, and concluded in Panama in February 2020. The day after Gunn signed on to direct the film, fellow Guardians director Dave Bautista expressed interest in appearing in the film. Ayer supported the decision, saying that Gunn’s hiring was a smart and brave move by Warner Bros and called him ‘the right man for the job’ The film is set to release in August 2021, with a release date of August 22, 2022 for the sequel to the first Suicide Squad film, which was released in March 2013. The sequel is being produced by DC Films, Atlas Entertainment, and The Safran Company, and set for distribution by Warner Jr. Pictures, and will be distributed by Warner Brothers Pictures and DC Films. It has been described as a “soft reboot” and a “standalone sequel” The film will be the 10th in theDC Extended Universe, and the first in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
