James Gunn Offers a Sneak Peek at the New Cast of The Suicide Squad

James Gunn has started filming a new version of the Suicide Squad which will be released on August 6, 2021. This movie is not a sequel to the 2016 movie. The new film will be called ‘The Suicide Squad’ to differentiate it from 2016’s ‘Suicide Squad’. 

A reboot of Suicide Squad 

The upcoming movie is being described as a reboot. Some of the popular characters will return for the new movie. These include Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Amanda Waller (Violas Davis), Boomerang (Jai Courtney) and Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman). Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn and Jared Leto’s Joker made quite the impression in the 2016 Suicide Squad. 

Addition to the Suicide Squad

Some new members will form a part of the Suicide Squad this time around. A photo shared by James Gunn on Instagram throws further light on the subject and does away with some speculations. 

Gunn shared the photo with the caption ‘”Hanging out with part of #TheSuicideSquad team this weekend. What a great group of people!” 

Seen in the photo is Gunn with Flula Borg, Daniela Melchior, David Dastmalchian, Jennifer Holland, Nathan Fillion, Sean Gunn and Mayling Ng.

Daniela Melchior, Flula Borg, Jennifer Holland, David Dastmalchian and Nathan Fillion are the additions to the new Squad. Idris Elba and John Cena will also be seen in the star-studded movie. 

The new cast, along with the talented actors from the last instalment is sure to create magic onscreen. The cast is said to be shooting in Atlanta at present. After three months in Atlanta, they will head to Panama for further filming.
