Sylvester Stallone med i nya ”The suicide squad”

The Suicide Squad is an upcoming American superhero film based on the DC Comics antihero team the Suicide Squad. Produced by DC Films, Atlas Entertainment, and The Safran Company, and set for distribution by Warner Bros. Pictures, it is intended to be a soft reboot and standalone sequel to Suicide Squad (2016), and the tenth film in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). The film, written and directed by James Gunn, stars an ensemble cast led by Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, John Cena, Joel Kinnaman, Peter Capaldi, and Viola Davis. A sequel to Suicide Squad was announced in March 2016 before that film's release, with David Ayer returning as director before dropping out in December 2016 for a Gotham City Sirens film. After considering several directors, Warner Bros. hired Gavin O'Connor in September 2017, but he left a year later over creative differences, and by October 2018, Gunn was hired to write the film after he had been temporarily dismissed by The Walt Disney Company from directing the Marvel Studios film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and he signed to direct in January 2019. Gunn looked to the 1980s Suicide Squad comics for inspiration to focus on new characters rather than continue the prior film's narrative. Filming began in Atlanta, Georgia in September 2019, and concluded in Panama in February 2020. The Suicide Squad is scheduled to be released in the United States on August 6, 2021. A spin-off television series centered on Peacemaker (Cena) is in development for HBO Max.
