Suicide Squad Red Band trailer

[KabutoRyder]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I am so in! I mean I was already cuz I love the Suicide Squad, but yeah, Gunn is killing it with this!

[Scott Taylor]

I liked it. Shark is a sketchy CGI job though. When you buy your King Shark on Wish!

[Frontier]

That looks like a James Gunn Suicide Squad. Which should be entertaining, if nothing else .

I feel like it's appropriate here to some extent but Harley still feels a little too much here.

Looks like King Shark can only talk like a baby? Will we get "King Shark is a Shark?"

spoilers:

So does Flag bite it to where Bloodsport needs to take over? Starro is something I could only have expected coming from Gunn. Although how does the Justice League not notice this?

Isn't the Suicide squad suppose to be about smaller threats? Why use a world ending threat again especially when it is another cgi monstrosity?

Because James Gunn likes that kind of stuff .

then why criticize the first one for the same things but not this one?

While I don't think that, much like with Guardians, strict adherence to a specific run or tone has to make or break this movie, by now even the comics had them confronting General Zod.

The problem is Gunn specifically said he was basing it off the classic John Ostrander run. What you’re talking about is more in line with the post New 52 suicide squad. Now I haven’t read much of it but one reason classic fans hated the movie and the modern iteration is because they basically made them into the anti-hero justice league, even one time fighting the justice league themselves. The original squad was made of expendable villains. Deadshot and Cpt Boomerang may be fan favorites now but then they were lost in the shuffle of flash and Batman villains. That made it likely that anyone would die (even if some of them did become a bit too safe but hey Ostrander killed Flagg before DC brought him back and had Deadshot go crazy). Now there are two types of ss members. The ones who are the real characters and the canon fodder. Like people clowned the first one for putting Slipknot in it. Like yeah I wonder if slipknot will outlast will Smith and Margot Robbie. This one is a little better but come one you really think Polkadot man or TDK are going to outlast Idris Elba or Robbie? (And if they do it’ll probably be for a joke)

EDIT: TBH I really don’t get why Harley Quinn is in this at all. She broke out of jail at the end of the first one and was free in BoP and WB is still going through with BoP2 so why is Harley back in the suicide squad? Like I really like Margot Robbie as Harley but does she really need to be a central character in two team up franchises?

All I’m saying is I’m worried. The problem with the first one was they tried to turn the suicide squad into Gunn’s MCU GOTG. When they announced Gunn was directing the sequel I thought they learned nothing. I was kinda hoping when Gunn said he was basing on Ostrander’s suicide squad it wouldn’t be a carbon copy of mcu GotG but the recent trailers dashed all that. Plus it has Gunn’s signature teenage immature humor like “if I had to eat every d*** thrown on a beach for liberty I would.” I’m sure if Snyder included a line like that he wouldn’t get clowned

The trailer looks great but with these villains and stuff one has to wonder what universe this suicide squad movie is set in. Warner Bro DC films are kinda all over the place. Is James Gunn Suicide Squad in the original DC films universe, the fan requested Synder Verse, or is it set in a new continuity or is it a self contained elseworld's story like Joker and Matt Reeves The Batman? I guess we will have to see.

But again, the trailer looks GREAT. I mean King Shark's CGI still looks a tad bit spotty but nothing major. But other than that, yea it looks like a fun time.

[Robotman]

Wasn’t sold until the end. Holy **** it’s STARRO!!!

[Dr. Skeleton]

I'm still iffy since I didn't bother with the first SS movie, but damn, Starro!!!!!

TBF, I wouldn’t be surprised if it starts out as a smaller threat. Then Starro appears unexpectedly and they have to deal with him as well.

They are still fighting a world ending threat. Chances are their mission is to eliminate these people then they discover Starro. No different from the Ayer suicide squad. I’d much rather see the Ayer cut than GotG DC edition. If Gunn did the first movie you’re praise him

WB: “James, we need you to course correct this franchise, can you save us?”

Gunn: “Yep.”

WB: “How?”

Gunn: “I’m gonna make it weird and gruesomely hilarious.”

As someone who wishes Gunn went back to his Slither roots (like Snyder is going back to zombies), I approve.
