The DCEU Awakens
The Suicide Squad by James Gunn released in 2021 presents itself as a new interpretation of the DC Comics supervillain team. This film comes after the previous Suicide Squad of 2016, who had met a mixed critical reception despite its commercial success.
The 2021 film takes place in a particular context of the DC cinematic universe, marked by the desire to revitalize some franchises after mixed results at the box office and with critics. James Gunn, known for his work on Guardians of the Galaxy at Marvel, was recruited by Warner Bros. to bring his unique vision and distinctive style to this new project. Today, he is in charge of overseeing the relaunch of the DC Cinematic Universe, following the departure of Zack Snyder.
The 2016 film, directed by David Ayer, introduced the Suicide Squad team to the big screen, but was criticized for its inconsistent tone and chaotic editing. Warner Bros., trying to rectify the situationchose not to make a direct sequel but rather a sort of partial “reboot” with James Gunn at the helm. This decision allowed for greater creative freedom, resulting in a work that stands out for its unique approach and pronounced visual style.
James Gunn incorporated some characters from the original film while introducing new members, creating a fluid continuity and allowing for a new narrative direction. The film was greeted with enthusiasm for its freshness and originality, marking a clear improvement over its predecessor.
