Warner Bros. has released a newThe Suicide Squadfeaturette that underlines how the team’s nickname should not be taken lightly, as no one is safe inJames Gunn’s upcoming movie.
In the featurette, Gunn talks about how superhero movies usually “don’t have any stakes,” a trend thatThe Suicide Squadwill not follow, since DC allowed the director to “kill whoever you want," Well, it sure looks like Gunn gladly accepted the freedom he got, as he says he’s “having fun with who’s gonna live and who’s gonna die." Even if we are all expecting a bloody R-rated superhero movie, Gunn says that we are going to “be surprised by how many people don’t make it to the end," but, as he says, “I [Gunn] just could help myself."

Even if Gunn’sThe Suicide Squadisnot exactly a sequelto the 2016’s movie byDavid Ayer, the new iteration of the team brings backMargot Robbie’s Harley Quinn,Jai Courtney’s Captain Boomerang,Joel Kinnaman’s Rick Flag, andViola Davis' Amanda Waller. The newcomers includeJohn Cenaas Peacemaker,Idris Elbaas Bloodsport,Sylvester Stalloneas the voice of King Shark,Peter Capaldias the Thinker,David Dastmalchianas Polka-Dot Man,Daniela Melchioras Ratcatcher 2,Michael Rookeras Savant,Alice Bragaas Sol Soria,Pete Davidsonas Richard “Dick” Hertz/Blackguard,Nathan Fillionas T.D.K.,Sean Gunnas Weasel,Flula Borgas Javelin, andMayling Ngas Mongal. The list of names is long, so Gunn has plenty of options to kill off as many Suicide Squad members as he wants.
We’ve been bombarded by footage fromThe Suicide Squad, but so far, no death was confirmed. Harley Quinn should survive Gunn’s movie sinceWarner Bros. directly asked the director if he could use the character. Everyone else, however, could be easily sacrificed for the greater good, as Gunn’s version of the team uses mostly obscure comic-book villains. The time to place your bets is now, as we have little more than one week until the death count is revealed.
Gunn’sThe Suicide Squadwill be released in theaters and available for streaming on HBO Max on August 6. Watch the new featurette below:
