James Gunn says "The Suicide Squad" can be seen w/o watching "Suicide Squad"; First footage from film set to air later this year
Fans who have been looking forward to James Gunn's semi-reboot of Task Force X are definitely in for some surprises and treats, as the critically acclaimed director of the "Guardians of the Galaxy" films took to Instagram to answer some fan questions about his upcoming DC Extended Universe entry "The Suicide Squad" - which will feature the likes of Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman, and Viola Davis reprising their roles as Harley Quinn, Rick Flagg, and Amanda Waller respectively, but also introducing some new faces that includes Idris Elba, John Cena, Nathan Fillion, Michael Rooker, and Peter Capaldi.
In a report by Comic Book.com, Gunn said that this film can be viewed without watching 2016's "Suicide Squad", which was directed by David Ayer. The film isn't considered a sequel to that film - instead serving as a new relaunch flick of the government controlled group that sees villains forced to do dangerous missions in exchange for their lives and lighter sentences. Gunn also says the first footage of the DC Films movie is set to arrive some time this year, so we can all look forward to that.
The Suicide Squad is set to be released on August 2021.
