Suicide Squad 3 Gets Disappointing Update From James Gunn

screenrant.com:

James Gunn has given an update on a potential Suicide Squad 3, a proposed sequel to The Suicide Squad. Gunn has made a name for himself in recent years as a mastermind of the superhero genre, directing films for franchise giants DC and Marvel. Gunn directed 2021’sThe Suicide Squad, a soft reboot ofthe widely-panned 2016 Suicide Squad. More recently, he continued to explore the DC universe through his HBO Max series Peacemaker, a spinoff based on John Cena' The Suicide Squad anti-hero character.

After David Ayer’s Suicide Squadwas met with largely negative reviews from both critics and audiences (largely due to interference from Warner Bros. with the director's final cut), Gunn's version saw the return of Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) and Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman) as they teamed up with a new group of super-villains to take on «Project Starfish» under the direction of Amanda Waller (Viola Davis). After many hyper-violent and gory action/death scenes, including an epic battle with the alien Starro, only some of Gunn's Suicide Squad reboot team were left alive. However, the film's ending came with the potential to continue the story of Robbie's Quinn, as well as newcomers Bloodsport (Idris Elba), Ratcatcher 2 (Daniela Melchior), and King Shark (Sylvester Stallone). However, despite Peacemaker picking up with Cena's Christopher Smith, the prospect of a The Suicide Squad sequel movie has yet to be confirmed.
