Cast List for Rebooted ‘The Suicide Squad’ Released (Elba, Robbie, Cena, Capaldi)
 

Wow!

Pete davidson :skull:

A reboot :skull:

A reboot. It came out 2 years ago??

There's a few returning names there so doubt it's a reboot, just looks like they're shaking some of the characters up.

Margot carried the first one anyway so everyone else was dispensable.

Potentially. I remember reading a while ago when it was first announced they were unhappy with the first film so they’re just gonna redo it but better.

It’s also not ‘Suicide Squad 2’, it’s ‘The Suicide Squad’.

To be fair ... Wolverine, followed by The Wolverine, followed by Logan :p

He always includes his brother Sean in every movie he does.

3 years ago.

I enjoyed the first one tbh.

I thought Will Smith did a good job of Deadshot.

I read the director commenting that the terms "sequel" and "reboot" are too narrow, so basically it's somewhere between the two. Which I would guess will mean, the events of the original "happened" and are canon but it will also effectively be a semi-reboot in that there won't be a continuation of any of the events of the first film and it probably won't even be referenced much, if at all. And I'd imagine it's likely to have a very different style and tone. So it's not a "sequel" either, as such.

So I guess it's a "soft reboot" like the Ghostbusters movie from 2016?

hmm boring tbh

I found Margot Robbie ropey as hell in the first one. :worry:

Agree, she doesn't nail the character... The Batman Arkham games have a better Harley. But then, they also have the best incarnation of The Joker so...

However, as ropey as she was, she was STILL better than most of the cast of the first Suicide Squad :think:. Like, Will Smith was watchable as always, but he was Will Smith with a sniper rifle. He wasn't really Deadshot, was he. He can't play an antihero. Even the consistently ropey Arrow had a more convincing "ambiguous morality" version of Deadshot.

The original Suicide Squad had its problems because it was largely reshot to better fit the studio's image of what the movie should be, rather than the director's vision. The result is a messy hodgepodge - apparently there are like three different edits of the damn thing.
Gunn is decent with character stuff, so hopefully this movie will be better.

Poster just dropped - trailer coming tomorrow!
