The Suicide Squad - Suicide Mission will feature not one
Fans of DC Comics are waiting with open arms for the next The Suicide Squad - Mission Suicide, the soft reboot dedicated to the famous anti-heroes of the Batman universe to be released in theaters in the coming months. The cinecomic will be completely disconnected from the events seen in the previous Suicide Squad, released in 2016 and directed by David Ayer. Now, director James Gunn has talked to fans via social media, revealing that his new film will feature various scenes after the credits.Is there's a post credit scene?

The director of the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy responded with a laconic "Una?" something that suggests a truly surprising number of post-credit sequences. Suffice it to say that only the second Marvel adventure dedicated to Star-Lord and associates had five scenes after the credits.
Gunn's post is accompanied by an extraordinary fan art by the artist Marcelo Damm. The image is inspired by the cover of the Justice League comic The Brave and the Bold issue 28 and depicts the suicide squad engaged in a no holds barred fight against villain Starro.
Gunn also spoke briefly about the hypothetical reboot dedicated to Superman, whose direction had been proposed to him by the upper echelons of DC and Warner Bros. The director confirmed that he had refused the offer as he considered that telling a story about the Suicide Squad was much more interesting and in line with the his visionary and irreverent style, as well as the fact that it would take him at least two years to write and direct such a film.
The Suicide Squad - Suicide Mission will feature actors such as John Cena, Margot Robbie, Jai Courtney, Joel Kinnaman and Sean Gunn, as well as Nathan Fillion, Taika Waititi, Viola Davis, Michael Rooker, Idris Elba, Daniela Melchior and Sylvester Stallone. The film is expected in American cinemas starting next August 6 of this year (in Italy it is expected only one day earlier), and will then also land in the HBO Max catalog.
The Suicide Squad are on a mission in these exclusive new images
The Suicide Squad sees director James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy) offering his own spin on DC’s ragtag team of wrong’uns, who are sent off on their own, ahem, suicide mission.
Featuring some members of 2016’s Suicide Squad line-up alongside new faces, Gunn’s version boasts one of the wildest superhero ensembles put on screen: from the badass likes of Idris Elba’s Bloodsport and Joel Kinnaman’s Rick Flag, to the chaotic Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) and Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney), and the frankly bonkers Weasel (Sean Gunn) and King Shark (voiced by Sylvester Stallone), to name but a few.
In fact, the line-up is so sprawling, that our sister publication Total Film magazine has opted for a super-sized fold-out cover on the latest issue, in order to fit the entire Squad on. Below, you can see exclusive images taken from the upcoming issue, featuring Bloodsport, Ratcatcher 2 (Daniela Melchior), Peacemaker (John Cena), Polka-Dot Man (David Dastmalchian) and King Shark, plus there's a behind-the-scenes shot of James Gunn on set with Elba. Check them out…
Inside the new issue, Total Film talks in-depth with writer/director Gunn, and cast members including Idris Elba, Margot Robbie, John Cena, Daniela Melchior and Peter Capaldi. And that’s not all – elsewhere in the issue, Total Film goes on set of Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead, speaks to Barry Jenkins about his long-form adaptation of The Underground Railroad, and there are interviews with Robin Wright, Ben Wheatley, and Mads Mikkelsen.
The Suicide Squad opens in UK cinemas on August 6 (and debuts in cinemas and on HBO Max on the same date in the US). The new issue of Total Film hits newsstands real and digital this Friday, April 30. Check out the new super-size covers, as revealed by James Gunn, below…
