[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”29928″ img_size=”900×500″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]The Suicide Squad was a confusing enigma for a while. Is it a reboot? A sequel? Will no one from 2016’s Suicide Squad return? Will everyone? Well, new director James Gunn recently posted a picture of who was to star in his version of the “worst heroes ever” and some actors are coming back to reprise their role. Specifically, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang.
While he, Joel Kinnaman, Margot Robbie, and Violas Davis are returning, we doubt that Gunn’s Suicide Squad will feel at all like David Ayer’s. While someone might thing that a tonal shift is strange, Courtney says, during an interview; that he doesn’t think anything will be strange at all. Though, he confirms that things will be different:
“I don’t think it’s going to be weird,” Courtney told ComicBook.com. “It’s kind of funny that we’re getting it up to go again and there’s a bunch of new people and a bunch of old people, too. It’s going to be different, for sure, but I think everyone’s welcoming that challenge and welcoming the new energy in. I loved David, I loved working with David, I’d work with David again in a heartbeat. But Gunn, too, is quite prolific and really, obviously, does know what he’s doing. I’m excited to see what he brings to it. It’s going to be tonally different but very cool as well. The world has evolved from where we were at at that point; he’s going to have his own take on it, and it’s going to be great.”
The Suicide Squad is set to hit theaters August 6, 2021. What do you think of the idea of a tonal shift for Gunn’s version versus Ayer’s?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
