The Suicide Squad

The Suicide Squad is a 2021 superhero film based on the DC Comics team Suicide Squad, and is written and directed by James Gunn. It is a standalone sequel to Suicide Squad (2016), and the tenth film in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU).

Gunn was hired to write and direct the film after being temporarily fired by Disney and Marvel Studios as the director of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023). He drew inspiration from war films and John Ostrander's 1980s Suicide Squad comics, and decided to explore new characters in a story separate from the first film's narrative, though some cast members do return from Suicide Squad.

Peacemaker, a spin-off television series starring Cena, is set to debut on HBO Max in January 2022.

The Suicide Squad is set for release in theaters and IMAX on August 6th. It will also be available on HBO Max for 31 days from theatrical release. Watch the official trailers below.
