The Suicide Squad – In Cinemas 6 August 2021

A wholly original cinematic experience, uniquely James Gunn
It’s not a sequel, it’s a reboot

An outrageously wild ride with life-or-death stakes, audacious humour, and undeniably cool super villains, THE SUICIDE SQUAD is an R-rated, action-packed superhero film that only James Gunn could devise; the ultimate team-up of DC super villains forced to work together to complete a perilous mission and save the world…or more likely…die trying.

Welcome to hell—a.k.a. Belle Reve, the prison with the highest mortality rate in the US of A. Where the worst Super-Villains are kept and where they will do anything to get out—even join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X. Today’s do-or-die assignment? Assemble a collection of cons, including Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, Ratcatcher 2, Savant, King Shark, Blackguard, Javelin and everyone’s favourite psycho, Harley Quinn. Then arm them heavily and drop them (literally) on the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese. Trekking through a jungle teeming with militant adversaries and guerrilla forces at every turn, the Squad is on a search-and-destroy mission with only Colonel Rick Flag on the ground to make them behave…and Amanda Waller’s government techies in their ears, tracking their every movement. And as always, one wrong move and they’re dead (whether at the hands of their opponents, a teammate, or Waller herself). If anyone’s laying down bets, the smart money is against them—all of them.

(L-r) SEAN GUNN, PETE DAVIDSON, MAYLING NG, JOEL KINNAMAN, JAI COURTNEY, NATHAN FILLION, writer/director JAMES GUNN, MARGOT ROBBIE, FLULA BORG and MICHAEL ROOKER on the set of Warner Bros. Pictures’ action adventure “THE SUICIDE SQUAD,” a Warner Bros. Pictures release.
