The Suicide Squad
DCEU manufacturer Peter Safran says James Gunn’sThe Suicide Squadis a"total reboot"of the enfranchisement and not really a subsequence to David Ayer ’s picture . Ayer’sSuicide Squadwas the third first appearance in DC ’s cinematic world ( followingMan of SteelandBatman V Superman ) , but the first to focus on lesser - known comic playscript character , with the exception of Harley Quinn . The DCEU movie went on to become a commercial success despite the relative abstruseness of its generator material , taking in $ 747 million at the global box office against a $ 175 million budget .
At the same time , Suicide Squadwas ill receive by critics and Ayer declined to return forSuicide Squad 2 . The labor subsequently go through a few changes in originative force , before it landed inGuardians of the Galaxyfilmmaker andnewly - reinstatedGuardians of the Galaxy 3directorGunn ’s lap last October . However , from the get - go , Gunn ’s idea for the cinema was key by DC asa"completely overbold take"on the antihero property , and has since been officially dubbedThe Suicide Squad , notSuicide Squad 2 .

In an interview withJoBloto promote the upcoming DCEU movieShazam ! , Safran went a step further and call Gunn’sThe Suicide Squada full - swash reboot . Here ’s his precise quotation mark on the content :
" First of all , we do n’t call it Suicide Squad 2 ‘ cause it ’s a full reboot , so it ’s The Suicide Squad and I think citizenry should be extremely delirious about it . It ’s everything you would hope from a James Gunn playscript and I think that says a lot and that prognosticate a quite a little and I know that we will give up a lot . "
While it might not be a sequel , Gunn’sThe Suicide Squadwon’t be a grueling reboot either . The film is play back Deadshot from Ayer ’s DCEU pic , only withIdris Elba taking over the role from Will Smith(who had to pretermit out due to a scheduling dispute ) . It ’s also been report that Margot Robbie willreprise her role as Harley Quinnin the subsequence , following her 2d turn as the quality inBirds of Prey ( And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn ) . Beyond that , The Suicide Squadwill supposedly featurea whole new character roster , so it ’s not excessive to indicate that the film is more reboot than continuation , as Safran has .
Some fans are suppose thatGunn plans to obliterate most ofThe Suicide Squadin his film and is stack the film ’s squad with unknown ( as far as mainstream audiences are concerned ) , for related reasons . Indeed , one of the complaints about Ayer’sSuicide Squadwas that its nominal " Skwad " did n’t really hold out up to its name , as ultimately only Slipknot ( who just had any filmdom time ) and El Diablo bit the dust . If Gunn ’s idea for " rebooting " the series is to really tend into the idea of a squad of bad guys going on missions that will most likely get them killed , then it ’s definitely an exciting one that we can get behind .
