Suicide Squad Sequel

CastorTroy · 22-08-2020 10:24pm

Yeah seeing that Role Call, it's more an Expendable Squad.
King Shark looks like the Harley Quinn series design. Wonder why he didn't have an actor listed.

bnt · 22-08-2020 10:37pm

Then there's Peter Capaldi as Thinker ... that's going to be fun to watch. :eek:

There is enough of them there that 3/4's of them should be killed off throughout the film.

pixelburp · 23-08-2020 1:48pm

Well Harley is safe, I'd be confident in saying that. The rest might be up for grabs, bar most of the famous faces. Thinking John Cena and Idris Elba here. Hope Capaldi makes it if only because the man's magnetic to watch, no matter the role (and is once again playing the smartest man in the room)

Willing to put money on Captain Boomerang being toast within 5 minutes

Could be a fun little deadpool (no, not that one) to do.

Polka-Dot Man isn't getting out alive.

I was going to say, but then maybe he'll be the Reverse Kenny? A running joke were he gets hit and oh, no, he's ok. I reckon his survival is more 50-50. Either first to die or survives, no in between

Yeah, possibly. It would be a waste if they got rid of David Dastmalchian early doors.

I think any / all of them in campy outfits are getting decimated early on. A bit like the team Deadpool puts together.

pjohnson · 24-08-2020 12:58pm

Wouldnt be suprised if Cena is offed quickly.

James Gunn's first film since the unpleasantness has his first take on the eponymous team. Unlike most people I got a kick out of a lot of the first. I'm not a comic book fan so have no idea how it relates to them but I thought it was fun for the most part. Editing, the final 15 minutes and some obnoxious music choices aside it wasn't all bad. Plus it won an Oscar so there.

This follow up looks to be just as cast heavy; Michael Rooker and Nathan Fillion being ones to watch. It actually is starting to look a bit like "Mystery Men".

Also today I learned James Gunn was married to Pam from the Office:US

Sneak Peeks

Agent Coulson · 29-08-2020 1:26am

Nathan Fillion would be my guess as I think his character has been made just for this film.

Speculation is that his character's codename TDK is short for "the detachable kid", with the character being a rebadged version of Arm-Fall-Off-Boy from the Legion of Super Heroes.

"Arm fall off boy" is such a glib reminder of how superhero comics started as disposable pulp fiction made for kids; the writers perhaps not trying too hard that morning.

They were out of ideas and hadn't had their coffee yet; "arm .... Uh, fall off ... Boy. Yeah. He can pull his arms off and throw them, I dunno. We got another 34 editions to write today."

Tbf Polka Dot Man sounds equally as demented, better powers true but still an awful name :pac:

astrofool · 29-08-2020 3:20pm

I liked how people assumed polka-dot man was a CGI suit for King Shark, and then it was "nope, that's polka-dot man of course".

Red Band trailer popped up; looks already so much more enjoyable than the last mess of a film. YouTube's trailer is age-gated so here's a Twitter vid instead.

Looks great, I actually had little interest in watching the trailer but I’m looking forward to the film now

pixelburp · 26-03-2021 6:12pm

I'm just going to take a wild swing that the team we see at 1:06 are all going to die horribly in the first act, given the bulk of the trailer features absolutely none of them (apart from Joel Kinnaman's character, who presumably still leads each team).

kerplun k · 26-03-2021 10:10pm

I can’t put my finger on it, but the trailer kinda has a weird vibe to it.

siblers · 26-03-2021 11:59pm

Some fairly ropey CGI, especially King Shark.

Is Joel Kinnon really thst big or is that CGI too?

Feels like it has a bit more humour this time round but also looks like it's trying a bit too hard

DMcL1971 · 27-03-2021 1:36am

Trailer looks good..... But.
The trailers for the last one made it look fantastic and that turned out to be utter garbage. So I’ll wait and see what happens after the reviews come out.

Slydice · 27-03-2021 2:51am

Obligatory rewatch of the first trailer for the first film

I think people just need to stop watching trailers and they will enjoy the films better. For me I have no intention if purposely watching the trailer for this. Augest is only 4 months away so I will wait till after I have hopefully seen the film in the cinema then check the trailer out after it.

I dont think there has ever been such a disconnect between first trailer and actual movie as with Suicide Squad.

Was there though? I mean the Marketing Agency who cut that trailer, edited the final film so it could be argued we got exactly what was promised :pac:

The White Wolf · 01-04-2021 7:14pm

My interest in DC is at an all time low and this film doesn't do anything to alleviate that. I'd actually argue that the success of Aquaman has been disastrous for the property as a whole because now we're stuck in this weird place where continuity has been completely shot. It's incoherent to me and tedious.

For these sorts of things, I find it much better to look at who's making them to gauge how it might turn out over anything else.

David Ayer isn't a man you'd want writing and directing a film of this sort. Give him a cop procedural or a straightforward blunt actioner and he's grand, but he's not the man for wit or charm or nuance.

Meanwhile James Gunn is exactly the man you want writing and directing a film like this. Guardians of the Galaxy is basically the template for the tone and style you want to find, so it's not a bad idea to just bring in the guy who achieved that and tell him to do it again.

I know James Gunn said that DC gave him permission to kill whoever he pleased, but I still bet'ya Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn had a big ringfence around her marked "Off limits". I don't believe for one second the film would be allowed to knock off its most prized star. Ditto Bloodspot TBH; can't see DC allowing Idris Elba, arguably the only other A-List star, to get offed.

Weirdly, I reckon Polka Dot Man is fine. He seems like such a goofy addition to (what appears to be) the film's main team, I can see Gunn intentionally keeping its silliest villain alive.

The fact Polka Dot Man actually said he hopes to die makes me think he will live, like he'll kinda embrace the whole "Suicide" part of the mission yet end up as a running gag of somehow escaping death against the odds at every turn despite his best efforts (with maybe the likes of Blackguard/Weasel etc. dying instead of him).

Seems kinda like what Gunn would do :pac:

I can't believe how terrible this looks. James Gunn... why?

King Shark FFS

Maybe after Marvel rehired him he decided to act as a saboteur and make the worst DC film imaginable?

Yeah, like... lol wot? territory here. Gunn made Marvel millions of dollars in succeeding with a series that has a talking Racoon and Tree in its line-up. King Shark is hardly the most out-there thing he has done.
