‘The Suicide Squad’: James Gunn Using ‘Guardians’ Formula to Reboot DC Films Franchise [Trailer]

Four years after David Ayer’s misguided film, here is James Gunn’s take on “The Suicide Squad.” The just-released trailer hints at this being highly influenced by the shenanigans in Gunn’s own “Guardians of the Galaxy” films for Marvel Studios. Now, Warner Bros. is hoping that Gunn’s subversive touch will make “The Suicide Squad” a hit.

Ayer’s film was rated PG-13, but Gunn has made it known that he is going for an R-rating here. A lot of the tropes we saw in ‘Guardians’ are in the trailer: subversive humour, zany violence, a hip ‘70s soundtrack and lots of hard-to-describe characters. It could all amount to a nastily rendered good time or a ‘Guardians’ ripoff.

“The Suicide Squad” cast list is impressive, including the likes of Margot Robbie, Viola Davis, Idris Elba, John Cena, Taika Waititi, Pete Davidson, and Sylvester Stallone as the Groot-like King Shark.

Warner Bros. will release “The Suicide Squad” in theaters and on HBO Max simultaneously on August 6, 2021.
