Today at DC Fandome,James Gunnand his cast showed off the first footage for their rebootThe Suicide Squad. The film includes 2016’sSuicide Squadcast membersMargot Robbie,Joel Kinnaman,Jai Courtney, andViola Davisreprising their roles as well as newcomersIdris Elba,John Cena,Storm Reid,Nathan Fillion,Peter Capaldi,Taika Waititi,Pete Davidson,Alice Braga, andMichael Rooker.
There is plenty to feast your eyes on in this behind-the-scenes look atThe Suicide Squad. One of the most notable things we need to discuss is the look of this movie. During the footage reveal, producerPeter Safranshares, “This one is completely unique. This is a gritty, 1970s war movie combined with the brilliance of James Gunn’s characters and comedy,” and he’s not wrong! As Safran speaks, we get an eyeful of footage from the set, which includes a shot of Captain Boomerang (Courtney) throwing his iconic boomerangs (which now glow!), Harley Quinn (Robbie) happily wielding a missile-launcher, a look at Kinnaman’s new version of Rick Flag, Rooker as Savant, and Fillion as T.D.K., a.k.a. The Detachable Kid. It’s unclear how the “’70s war movie” vibe will specifically tie into the plot ofThe Suicide Squadwith no specific plot details revealed, but it feels like a viable, interesting direction for this story which boasts such a huge cast.
Additionally, the costumes for eachSuicide Squadcast member is brighter, more eye-grabbing, and somehow way more nostalgic than you might expect, too. And if the costumes don’t grab your attention, then maybe all of the explosions, fights, and slow-motion shots of various cast members walking around the incredible sets will. It’s clear Gunn is going to be bringing a lot of new ideas to the table and the cast is more than ready to make them a reality.
