"Suicide Squad 2" is scheduled to be released in North America, and the director of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" is expected to direct it

The DC movie "Suicide Squad 2" is scheduled to be released in North America on August 6, 2021. James Gunn, the director of Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy", is responsible for writing the script and is expected to become the director of "Suicide Squad 2".

The Suicide Squad was released on August 5, 2016, with a total global box office revenue of $746 million. The first film was directed by David Ayer. However, the reputation of the Suicide Squad is not good, with Rotten Tomatoes giving it only a 27% positive rating, which can be said to be a flood of negative reviews. Some American film critics directly said: "It is regrettable to watch this film."

James Gunn was quickly fired by Disney for making radical remarks about children on Twitter, and "Guardians of the Galaxy 3" was also shelved indefinitely.

However, Warner and DC have invited James Gunn, who has already participated in the script writing of "Suicide Squad 2". Whether he will become the director remains to be confirmed by further news.
