The Suicide Squad is happening and while critics weren’t into David Ayer’sfirst film, there’s reason to be hopeful for the sequel (or is it a reboot?).
With a largely new cast and Guardians of the Galaxy‘s James Gunn taking over from Ayer as director, The Suicide Squad (as it is officially called) is one of the most-anticipated movies of 2021.
Despite the critical bashing, Suicide Squad grossed almost $750 million worldwide and if Gunn gets it right, the sequel could well be one of the biggest movies of next year as well.
So here’s everything you need to know.
