James Gunn to Write ‘Suicide Squad 2’ for DC, Eyed to Direct
- Thread starter Wingfan19
- Start date
Guardians is huge, that is enough of a namedrop to get folks interested. Rest is up to the quality, and remember, Gunn made Guardians in to a thing in the first place.
Cautiously optimistic. I hated the first Suicide Squad, but I really love Gunn's stuff. Guardians 2 is my favorite MCU movie.
If they really do give him free reign over the property, I'm on board.

This literally happens anytime a name director does another big movie
It's fine
Oh man that's so good. It's impossible to use in a trailer but oh God damn is it good.
Guardians 2's only major problems in my eyes were the overly-indulgent action sequences that bloat the runtime. It is otherwise a much more thematically compelling and generally better written film than the first, in my opinion.
I think that was the moment I knew nothing could salvage the movie.
Yes, let me kill a room full of my own personnel who joined the government, were trained by said government, passed a litany of security screenings, obtained various security clearances, and have sworn themselves to protect the country and follow my every order. Now, let me trust my well-being to a bunch of criminals who want to kill me but are only stopped from doing so because I've placed bombs in their heads that can only be triggered by about one person on the team in relative proximity to them.
Why would they need to recast anybody? By nature the squad can just be different characters. Nobody was so terrible in their role that they need to be recasted.
Agreed. Personally? I'd keep Deadshot, Harley, and Boomerang, and team them up with three or four new villains. Maybe Black Manta and King Shark?
I mean he was canned awhile ago so yeah that does kinda make sense.Guess Whedon is done with the DCEU lol
HOLY FUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
THIS IS INSANE
THIS IS INSANE
YES !!!Cast Bautista as Bane.
The first one was easily one of the worst movies I've ever seen in theatres, but I see absolutely no reason why a sequel couldn't be good. There was plenty of potential.
I absolutely respect that. I think it had many good moments, but honestly I felt it focused too much on Starlord and fell victim of the "let's break up the family before we reunite it" trope. I felt the best part of the movie were Nebula and Gamora. Or Baby Groot and RR. Everything involving Kurt Russell was eh.
Edited for clarity. God I can't type tonight.
"From the director of that other movie you loved that was clearly the basis for the first Suicide Squad but we kind of fucked that up so we just straight up hired the guy for the sequel."
Ehrlich is basically saying the last thing the world needs is a Suicide Squad sequel, and Joss Whedon liked the tweet.
Same. Guardians 2 is the best MCU film imo.
yea this is kinda my feeling. I don't think the actors were terrible, they just had really bad writing.
"when the script calls for you to eat cat food, there's not much the actor can do to make it look good." -nostalgia critic on catwoman
Killer Croc's obvious black stereotype is a good example.
Shocking, I'm sure, but the movie grossed 3/4 of a BILLION at the box office. It was very successful.
I think the problem here is that Bane is one of those bizzarre and almost unique specimen known as "latino comic book characters", and people harbor some expectations about having him be portrayed by a latino actor, for a change.
The guy wears a mexican wrestling mask.
I went from never being interested again in Suicide Squad to being really excited for the next Suicide Squad.

:cue music:
Suicide Squad Vol. 2
Suddenly, DCEU fans think Marvel "quipfests" are great. I NEVER SAW THIS COMING.
Anyway, this is like, one of the absolute best outcomes DC and WB could've asked for. I know Gunn was supposed to be the guiding hand of Cosmic Marvel, even after Guardians 3 wrapped up. I wonder if he'll get a seat at the big boys' table with WB if he knocks it out of the park here.
