Suicide Squad: Are you planning a 3rd movie?

Broadcast on TMC this Monday, March 21st, Suicide Squad had it all on paper. With his detachment of anti-heroes, the first incarnation of Harley Quinn in the movies and the trailer that aired on Comic-Con in July 2015, which greatly disappointed. Before the cold shower, a year later, in addition to the real problems of writing, it turned out to be the fruit of massive filming, and the installation of which was entrusted to those responsible for the trailer.

If director David Ayer goes on to claim that we did not see the film he was referring to, the damage is done. And despite the $ 746.9 million raised at the box office, the studio decides to change its approach. First in the spin-off Birds of Prey, where we find the only Harley Quinn with new friends. Then the cross between the sequel and the reload that James Gans was tasked with when he was just released by Disney and Marvel after the exhumation of controversial tweets.

Released in July 2021, the Suicide Squad recruits several old ones (Harley Quinn, Rick Flag, Amanda Waller, Captain Boomerang …) and adds several new ones (including King Shark, Peacemaker or Ratkacher) to complete the mission. To re-conquer the world.social. With mixed results.

If the Suicide Squad mostly addresses its viewers to greet the crazy side embedded by a director who apparently had a carte blanche, it is sadly too few. Because in July 2021 health conditions were still complicated in all countries of the world. And especially in the United States, where, as for all Warner’s films of the year, it was released simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max.

We also have to count those who found it difficult to understand the approach of the film and remembered very poorly the former to give the latter a chance. Upon arrival, the feature film will gross $ 167.4 million worldwide, with a budget of $ 185. And joins the 2021 list of commercial failures. Therefore, it is not surprising that the sequel has not yet been processed.

While about twenty projects are more or less advanced in Warner and DC, ranging from those that are almost ready for release and ending while still in development, there is currently no talk of a new Suicide Squad.

But his future may be on the small screen side. Also on HBO Max, where Peacemaker was the protagonist of his own series, the events of which follow The Suicide Squad. John Senna has resumed his role as an ultra-violent watchman (despite his nickname), Robert Patrick plays his father there, and the first season showed no real enthusiasm in the Atlantic, especially because of his opening titles.

Already updated for Season 2, the series is the only project to date related to the world of Suicide Squad on small and large screens. But maybe things will change when James Gann completes the third episode of Guardians of the Galaxy and invents another risky mission for us.
