Suicide Squad Sequel

Not a bad replacement, though Elba seems to be popping up in everything these days; busy man. Possibly also rules him out of contention to be the new James Bond?

Peter Capaldi and Pete Davidson join

Given Capaldi's role as the Doctor, I initially read the second name as Peter Davison, and got all confused about two Doctors appearing in this

If you're willing or able to look past the structural flaws, bad characters, pacing problems and total mess of a plot, then sure; the film is superficially entertaining, in that it has action set-pieces and nominal excitement. But for me, it's entirely as bad as people say: speaking with a film critic hat on, its script is so horrendously bad, and the structure of the film so all over the place (the editing given to the marketing firm who cut that popular trailer), I can't look past the chaos. What's more, it was often boring chaos, featuring two (two!) "meet the team" segments, then forgot to introduce two members anyway, and added some quick "oh by the way, here's Slipknot and random-katana-lady".

Maybe one day, the original Ayer cut will find its way to a home release, and we'll get a better sense of the shape of the thing originally. As it stands, it was edited by a marketing company.
