Okay, so no numbered sequel or subtitle. Sounds like another reboot, but with half of the same cast/actors. All I have to say is that will make things more confusing when trying to talk about which film. I'm excited for it, but they could have come up with a more creative title or added in a subtiitle to avoid confusion.

And Nathan Fillion and Peter Capaldi. Whatever else, we’ve got a murderers row of talent in this movie.

I'm guessing Nathan Fillion as the joke character who gets killed immediately with Polka Dot Man as the joke character that lives and proves surprisingly popular

That would be fucking hilarious honestly.

OT: You know, someone really ought to have just made a DC Fandome thread. Anyway, looks interesting. I can't wait to see them all die in increasingly terrible or funny ways. Kind of wish we could have gotten Kite Man. I'm also glad Jai Courtney is getting another chance at being Captain Boomerang, because he was perhaps the one likeable character in the last movie. It's also kind of his only good role ever.

I'm actually kind of enjoying how DC is taking their extended universe and continuity and just shoving it up our collective ass sideways. I have no fucking idea when this movie is set, or if its a reboot or a sequel.

So, who wants to take bets on which of that fuckload of characters will survive to the end credits?

I mean, Margot Robbie will, obviously. Maybe Jai Courtney will too, as a returning member. King Shark, because why would you not want to keep the sharkman around? Either Idris Elba or John Cena, but not both. And lastly a wildcard, someone you wouldn't expect to live, i.e. Polka Dot Man.

That was like the film equivalent of a CGI videogame trailer. At least we know what Capaldi's noggin is up to I guess.

The sneak peak (behind the scenes) clip made it look like everyone was having a pretty fun time, and while it is pleasantly exciting to see, it only reminds me of some established critic who says the more fun the cast and crew look like they're having while making the film often turns out less fun for the viewer of the end product. Though I'm not that experienced to know how far they are from the truth, it's just an opinion that stuck out as curious. Will be sure to rate the end result as "not enough suffering from the cast, stop enjoying your work duties!"

Huh...was expecting them to drop this with an incoming reboot due to new Batman and all, but I guess if this comes out first?

Here's the thing.

This might end up and the most alienating DC movie yet to a regular audience.

It could also work because James Gunn managed to get Guardians of the Galaxy to work.

The thing being the Suicide Squad comics tend to just bring people in and assume the audience knows about them or their intro is maybe a few lines of dialogue or their backstory gets explained by another character making some short comment.

It doesn't tend to matter where they came from or how they came to be in the prison just who they are personality wise and what they can do.

My guess.

Harley Quinn - no real intro etc but a comment about how Joker won't be getting her out this time. Or a comment about her asking about Deadshot and being told he's on another mission

King Shark - Barely ever gets backstory really other than implications about him being some ancient being

Captain Boomerag - No backstory needed he's still serving his sentence

Rick Flag - maybe some comment about June Moon being off helping Deadshot

Weasel- probably an offhand comment about how come it(?) came to be
