The Suicide Squad is a 2021 American superhero film based on DC Comics featuring the team

Suicide Squad. Produced by DC Films, Atlas Entertainment, and The Safran Company, and

distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, it is a standalone sequel to Suicide Squad (2016) and the

tenth film in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). It was written and directed by James Gunn and

stars an ensemble cast including Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, John Cena, Joel Kinnaman,

Sylvester Stallone, Viola Davis, Jai Courtney, and Peter Capaldi. In the film, a task force of

convicts are sent to destroy evidence of the giant alien Starro.

 

David Ayer was set to return as director for a Suicide Squad sequel by March 2016, but in

December he chose to develop a Gotham City Sirens film instead. Warner Bros. considered

several replacement directors before hiring Gavin O'Connor in September 2017. He left by

October 2018, and 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. Filming began in Atlanta, Georgia, in September 2019,

and concluded in Panama in February 2020.

 

The Suicide Squad was theatrically released in the United Kingdom on July 30, 2021, and in the

United States on August 5, while streaming on HBO Max for a month starting the same day. It

received positive reviews from critics, who praised Gunn's direction, action sequences,

performances, visual style, and the writing, with many finding it to be a significant improvement

over its predecessor. Peacemaker, a spin-off television series with Cena starring, is set to debut

on HBO Max in January 2022.
