The Suicide Squad Trailer Finally Reveals the Movie’s Villain

New DVD releasefinally, movie, reveals, squad, suicide, trailer, villain

The first actual trailer for James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad is here, and it’s drastically different from its cinematic predecessor. Stylistically, it has plenty of Gunn’s hallmarks, drawing on some of the most obscure, quirky characters in the DC Universe, it’s plenty violent, it’s got a cool tune (the best Steely Dan song, “Dirty Work”) and it’s certainly less shy about things like profanity than the director was allowed on his Guardians of the Galaxy movies for Marvel Studios. But the biggest surprise doesn’t come in John Cena’s Peacemaker expounding on his willingness to eat as many penises as liberty…

Why There Won’t Be an Ayer Cut of Suicide Squad

New DVD releasesquad, suicide, there

In an interview earlier this week, WarnerMedia Studios CEO Ann Sarnoff stated definitively that the studio “won’t be developing David Ayer’s cut” of Suicide Squad, the DC-based movie that Ayer directed and that was heavily retooled in post-production before its 2016 release. While rumors and speculation about an “Ayer Cut” of the film–which was trashed by critics (and some fans) even as it climbed to an astonishing $747 million box office gross worldwide–have been around almost since the film came out, a nascent campaign to release Ayer’s original version of the film started in earnest last year following the news…

WB Confirms ‘No Ayer Cut’ of Suicide Squad After Justice League

New DVD releaseafter, confirms, justice, league, squad, suicide

A few months ago, we learned that Warner Bros. executives considered Zack Snyder’s Justice League to be a cul-de-sac. Which is to say, it’s a road to nowhere that will leave the DC Extended Universe exactly where it started. That opinion apparently is shared throughout WarnerMedia despite the apparent success of the newly released Snyder Cut. In fact, WarnerMedia CEO Ann Sarnoff is ready to stop now any possible rumors about director David Ayer getting to oversee his own cut of 2016’s Suicide Squad. “We won’t be developing David Ayer’s cut,” Sarnoff said flatly and directly when Variety broached the…

Suicide Squad 2 Cast, Release Date, Trailer, News, Story, and More Details

New DVD releasedetails, release, squad, story, suicide, trailer

After Suicide Squad 2 failed to find momentum under director Gavin O’Connor and writer Todd Stashwick, the studio brought in Guardians of the Galaxy writer/director James Gunn to breathe new life into Suicide Squad 2. The sequel to the 2016 film is now known as The Suicide Squad, which would seem to indicate that they’re looking to distance themselves a little from the first film. Understandable, as despite it’s nearly $750 million global box office haul, it wasn’t particularly beloved by critics, and appeared to be the victim of some hasty editing to counter the Batman v Superman: Dawn of…

James Gunn Teases That No One Will Be Safe in The Suicide Squad

New DVD releasejames, squad, suicide, teases

Sequel The Suicide Squad may have been described in this past summer’s FanDome teaser trailer as “a gritty 1970s war movie,” but director James Gunn recently addressed audience incredulity regarding the stakes evocative of such a description, specifically when it comes to the survivability of its immense ensemble of DC Comics antiheroes. No one is safe, and he means no one. Gunn, never one to shy away from direct interaction with fan comments, started a Twitter conversation promoting The Suicide Squad’s upcoming photo-debuting Empire cover story by asking fans which two characters are likely to survive. However, one critical response…

Is Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League in the Arkhamverse?

New DVD releasearkhamverse, justice, league, squad, suicide

The reveals of Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and WB Montreal’s Gotham Knights at DC Fandome was certainly exciting but resulted in quite a bit of confusion regarding how (or if) these games share the same universe. The heart of this confusion can be traced back to the reveal of Gotham Knights. The debut Gotham Knights trailer kicks off with Bruce Wayne confirming that he is dead, which echoes the ending of Batman: Arkham Knight in which Bruce Wayne seemingly kills himself as part of the Knightfall Protocol. That trailer strongly suggested that Gotham Knights was a sequel…

Suicide Squad: David Ayer Tweet Sends Fans Into Frenzy

David Ayer fueled the apparently growing #ReleaseTheAyerCut movement for his 2016 movie Suicide Squad on Monday when he confirmed that a script page posted online was for a scene near the end of the film. Further Ayer revealed he filmed the sequence, which involved a confrontation between the eponymous team and Jared Leto as the Joker. The scene in question, which seems to also indicate that Joker joins forces with primary villain the Enchantress (Cara Delevingne) at some point, was posted on Twitter by a fan who asked Ayer, “Did you shoot all this?” Ayer’s response was, “Yes I did.…

What happens when a dog finally catches a car? We’re set to find out next year, when HBO Max finally debuts Zack Snyder’s Justice League as it was originally meant to be seen. Reports indicate that this version of the project, which attempted to bring DC superheroes Wonder Woman, Batman, The Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg together for a big screen live-action adventure back in 2017, will either manifest as a four-hour film, or as a six-part series on the streaming service. “It will be an entirely new thing, and, especially talking to those who have seen the released movie, a…

James Gunn is writing and directing two of the most high-profile superhero films of the next few years — DC’s The Suicide Squad and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 — and he says that neither one of them has been delayed so far by the current coronavirus pandemic.

The onset of COVID-19 and the subsequent closing of all non-essential businesses, including theaters and movie studios, has wreaked havoc with both…
