The Suicide Squad: James Gunn Teases Nathan Fillion Character Still Alive

New DVD release, , , , , ,
When it comes to comic books and comic book movies, don’t count a character as dead until you see a body go into the ground. Sometimes not even then—right Norman Osborn and Doc Ock? So perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that James Gunn, an iconoclastic filmmaker and longtime friend of Nathan Fillion, is up for letting one good turn deserve another. And the turn of plot in The Suicide Squad’s opening scene is very, very good. In case you somehow need any sort of reminder, the film opens with us being introduced to a new gang of lovable misfits: there…

Summer Movie Preview: From Black Widow to The Suicide Squad and Beyond

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The summer movie season has returned. Finally. Once something we all just took for granted, like handshakes and indoor dining, a summertime season stuffed with pricy Hollywood blockbusters and cinematic escapism suddenly feels like a long lost friend. But, rest assured, the summer movie season is genuinely and truly here. It’s maybe a little later than normal, yet it’s still in time for Memorial Day in the States. This is of course happy news since many of the big screen events of this year have been 12 months or more in the offing. A Quiet Place Part II was supposed…

James Gunn on Killing Off The Suicide Squad Characters: ‘I’m a Servant of the Story’

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Over the months and years that have led up to The Suicide Squad’s August release, writer-director James Gunn has been very clear: He can kill off anyone. And with a cast as overstuffed with characters as this movie, that’s hardly a surprise. Genuinely, without knowing ourselves about who lives and who dies in The Suicide Squad, are there really many folks out there ready to weep tears of sorrow over the loss of villains like… Polka-Dot Man or or T.D.K.? Nevertheless, Gunn is likely aware of an adage over at Marvel Studios (where he made the Guardians of the Galaxy…

The Suicide Squad: Margot Robbie Teases “Gravitas” of Peter Capaldi’s Thinker

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The Suicide Squad is a project that partially thrives on highlighting lesser-known characters and casting non-traditional blockbuster actors to bring them to life. This is certainly the case with Peter Capaldi. The 63-year-old Scottish actor was a comedic character actor known for his hilariously crass portrayal of The Thick of It‘s Malcolm Tucker long before he became a nerd household name as the Twelfth Doctor in Doctor Who. But, even after that high profile TV role, not many could have predicted Capaldi’s entrance into the DC Extended Universe. For many geeks (this one included), it is one of the most-anticipated…

James Gunn Wants You to See The Suicide Squad in Theaters

New DVD release, , , ,
It’s fair to say the industry is still reeling from last year’s announcement that Warner Bros. Pictures’ entire 2021 film slate would debut simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max in a new “hybrid” release model. It meant many of this year’s biggest Hollywood releases, from Lin Manuel-Miranda’s In the Heights to James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, could be watched from the comfort of fans’ own homes. At the time, there were anonymous sources cited by THR which said Gunn, among other filmmakers, was “not pleased” with this sudden pivot by WarnerMedia. However, in the months since that bombshell, multiple…

The Suicide Squad: James Gunn Teases Starro Is ‘Only One of the Villains’

New DVD release, , , , ,
They’re not coy about it in The Suicide Squad marketing. As one of Amanda Waller’s underlings screams with utter joy in trailer, “Oh my God, we’ve got a freaking kaiju up in this shit!” Yep. The apparent lead villain of James Gunn’s wild reimagining of DC’s supervillain team is Starro: a Godzilla-sized alien starfish how has dreams on world domination. That makes sense. When we sat down to speak with Gunn last month, we brought up the character and just why the filmmaker felt so endeared to this creature that he wanted to see Starro go head to head with…

The Suicide Squad: King Shark Was First New Character James Gunn Added to Roster

New DVD release, , , , , ,
There is just something almost too cute about King Shark, right? Essentially a six-foot, walking talking Great White Shark, the character is like if Jaws was huggable. It’s what elevated this one-time C-stringer created by Karl Kesel in 1994 to becoming one of the most popular new DC villains—with multiple interpretations already popping up on the small screen via the CW’s Arrowverse and HBO Max’s Harley Quinn. Now he’s about to make his big screen debut on the big screen, with the character enjoying a starring role in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad… where he’ll be voiced by Sylvester Stallone,…

The Suicide Squad: Joel Kinnaman Finds a “Stranger, Funnier” Side of Rick Flag

New DVD release, , , , ,
Joel Kinnaman has been on a hot streak since 2016’s Suicide Squad. He’s become a stalwart sci-fi action leading man, headlining the Netflix adaptation of Altered Carbon, Amazon Prime’s Hanna, and most recently, winning raves as For All Mankind’s Edward Baldwin. But all that time, Rick Flag was still hanging around, waiting for Kinnaman to come back. And with James Gunn taking the reins of the new sequel, The Suicide Squad, Kinnaman jumped at the chance to rejoin the Squad. Playing one of only four returning characters, one would think that Joel Kinnaman would be carrying some benefits and some…

The Suicide Squad: John Cena and the Secrets of Peacemaker

New DVD release, , ,
John Cena is everywhere. He’s a seasoned television host, currently co-hosting TBS’ absurdly fun Wipeout, a #1 New York Times bestselling author with two new books on shelves, and one of the most in-demand, silver screen actors appearing in comedies, family films, and unsurprisingly, action movies alike. For someone whose catchphrase is “You can’t see me!” we sure have been seeing a lot of Cena. Over Cena’s 18 years in the WWE, the charismatic sports entertainer has collected 16 World Titles and served as the face of the company and moralistic brand ambassador. Cena reigned at the top of the…

The Suicide Squad: How Idris Elba Brings Bloodsport to Life

New DVD release, , , ,
Idris Elba has a certain unmistakeable, charismatic vibe about him. The resulting magnetism extends to the wide range of characters he has brought to life over the years – from playing the second-in-command to a drug kingpin in The Wire to playing a guy who has to deal with the likes like Michael Scott in The Office, to playing a dedicated horseman committed to fighting off gentrifying developers in his neighborhood in the recently released Concrete Cowboy. Whether it’s as a leading man or part of a larger ensemble, Elba’s performances always stand out because of what he brings to…

The Suicide Squad: James Gunn Talks the Creative Freedom of That R-Rating

New DVD release, , , , , ,
A couple of days. That’s how long director James Gunn had to wait before Warner Bros. and DC came calling in 2018. Up until that moment, it’d been a pretty turbulent July. The iconoclastic filmmaker who made audiences cry over a talking tree in Guardians of the Galaxy was just fired by Disney—temporarily as it turns out—and his name was being besmirched on social media. Yet less than 72 hours after that dismissal, WB was making him an offer that could change the face of DC superhero movies forever. “It happened immediately,” Gunn says with a hint of lingering chagrin.…
