A new trailer has dropped for “The Suicide Squad” Sequel. Consequently, James Gunn will direct the film as a standalone answer to David Ayer’s 2016’s “Suicide Squad.” Gunn’s version is a reimagining of his Suicide Squad and not a true sequel. As you may recall, James Gunn was previously fired on Marvel projects due to controversal and offensive tweets that he since apologized. Now, he tries his hands at Suicide Squad for DC and Warner Bros. Furthermore, Suicide Squad sequel will hit theaters and HBO Max on August 6, 2021.
Newest Trailer Release
Fans will be exited to know that a new trailer has dropped for the August release of James Gunn’s “Suicide Squad.” However, beware many of the funny bits appear in the trailer which may lose it’s effect on the big screen.
More Over, Gunn’s version is grittier than it’s predecesor, reminicent of 70’s war films with vulgar male driven comedy. As the director, Gunn will be bringing back some of the characters from Ayer’s “Suicide Squad” (Margot Robbie’s Harley, Jai Courtney’s Boomerang, Viola Davis’ Amanda Waller, and Joel Kinnaman’s Rick Flag). Apparently, Will Smith’s Deadshot won’t be returning. Additionally, he will add some new faces.
So, who has been added?

Gunn will also include new cast members. Namely, Idris Elba (as Robert DuBois, aka Bloodsport), Nathan Fillon (as Floyd Belkin, aka TDK), John Cena (as Christopher Smith/Peacemaker), Alice Braga (as Sol Soria), Pete Davidson (as Richard Hertz, aka Blackguard), and more. Of course, with the vast array of characters, its important to note, like in the comics, the characters are expendable. As a result, viewers should refrain from getting too attached to any character. This was something that was missing in the previous endeavor. Not knowing which character will survive the film adds a layer of anticipation that drives the action of the film.

Before pixels ruled the screen, Star Wars built its galaxy the old-fashioned way: with brushes, glass, and a whole lot of patience.
Long before CGI became the default language of blockbuster filmmaking, the original trilogy relied on a nearly lost art form—matte painting. Artists at Industrial Light & Magic spent weeks, sometimes months, hand-painting entire worlds onto large sheets of glass and plexiglass. Those paintings were then optically blended with live-action footage so seamlessly that audiences rarely noticed the join. The result felt tangible, weighted, and strangely real in a way that still holds up nearly five decades later.
