The Suicide Squad is a 2021 American superhero film based on DC Comics featuring the team
Suicide Squad. Produced by DC Films, Atlas Entertainment, and The Safran Company, and
distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, it is a standalone sequel to Suicide Squad (2016) and the
tenth film in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). It was written and directed by James Gunn and
stars an ensemble cast including Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, John Cena, Joel Kinnaman,
Sylvester Stallone, Viola Davis, Jai Courtney, and Peter Capaldi. In the film, a task force of
convicts are sent to destroy evidence of the giant alien Starro.
David Ayer was set to return as director for a Suicide Squad sequel by March 2016, but in
December he chose to develop a Gotham City Sirens film instead. Warner Bros. considered
several replacement directors before hiring Gavin O'Connor in September 2017. He left by
October 2018, and Gunn was hired to write and direct the film after being temporarily fired by
Disney and Marvel Studios as the director of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023). He drew
inspiration from war films and John Ostrander's 1980s Suicide Squad comics, and decided to
explore new characters in a story separate from the first film's narrative, though some cast
members do return from Suicide Squad. Filming began in Atlanta, Georgia, in September 2019,
and concluded in Panama in February 2020.
The Suicide Squad was theatrically released in the United Kingdom on July 30, 2021, and in the
United States on August 5, while streaming on HBO Max for a month starting the same day. It
received positive reviews from critics, who praised Gunn's direction, action sequences,
performances, visual style, and the writing, with many finding it to be a significant improvement
over its predecessor. Peacemaker, a spin-off television series with Cena starring, is set to debut
on HBO Max in January 2022.
