James Gunn's Suicide Squad is a "total reboot", not called Suicide Squad 2

More details were revealed about James Gunn's next sequel to Suicide Squad. Producer Peter Safran told Joblo that the sequel is a "total reboot", so it should not be called a Suicide Squad. The name used by the studio is The Suicide Squad, although it does or does not work out the definitive name or an unconfirmed provisional title.

"First of all, we do not call it Suicide Squad 2 because it's a total reboot, so it's The Suicide Squad and I think people should be extremely excited about it "said Safran.

Gunn, the writer and director of Guardians of the Galaxy who was recently reinstalled for the flight. 3, write and direct The Suicide Squad. Regarding the scenario, Safran said: "That's all you expect from a James Gunn script and I think it says a lot and it promises a lot and I know we'll deliver a lot."

The intriguing angle of this story is that now that he's back in Guardians of the Galaxy 3, Gunn is making films for DC and Marvel. Saffron said he and Gunn agreed that the rivalry between Marvel and DC was "absurd" and that everything was going to be fine.

"You know what I like in James's staging for Marvel and DC, it's that he's always adhered to the fact that what unites comic book lovers and super-comics Hero is much bigger than what divides us, "said Safran. "Because there has always been this rivalry between Marvel and DC, what he said, and I agree, is nonsense." There is room for everyone and certainly what unites us is much greater than the one that divides us, so hopefully they'll see that you can be both a fan of Marvel and a fan of DC and that the world will not turn away from its axis . "

This is not exactly what the description of "total reboot" means for The Suicide Squad 2. What we do know is that Idris Elba will play the role of Deadshot in the sequel, succeeding to Will Smith.

The 2016 Suicide Squad received mixed reviews, but it was a huge commercial success. He has grossed more than $ 746 million worldwide and won an Oscar for makeup and hairstyling.

The Suicide Squad hits theaters in August 2021. A recent intriguing report indicates that the film will add a number of characters from the DC Comics world, including Ratcatcher, King Shark, Polka-Dot Man and Peacemaker. There is no date yet for the release of Guardians of the Galaxy 3 from Gunn.
