It does not contradict the first movie, I don't think. Gunn has also not been constricted in following on from the first movie: "Um, it's its own thing. One non-Starro tease, which Gunn revealed recently, explains why Bloodsport is in prison, too.A creatively-free Gunn is a very exciting prospect when it comes to DC's collection of anti-heroes, so we can expect the same magic he showed with both Guardians of the Galaxy movies – only it's lots more violent. It’s possible that Corto Maltese’s army are using it to conduct its own mind control experiments, and the Suicide Squad end up accidentally releasing Starro from his prison. We suspect that these experiments will have ties to Starro’s mind-control abilities – after all, we see Starro break out from an underground facility in the movie’s trailer. Speaking to Den of Geek (opens in new tab), Gunn also teased the possibility of more than one villain in The Suicide Squad, so Starro may not be the only major threat to Rick Flag’s gang of convicts.Īs for why the Suicide Squad are being dropped onto South American-based island Corto Maltese, they’re tasked with destroying Jotunheim, a Nazi-era prison and laboratory where political prisoners are held and experimented on. What happens if one (or more) of them become possessed by this hulking monstrosity? They may turn on each other and ultimately jeopardise the mission. That, inevitably, spells trouble for The Suicide Squad. If one of these alien molluscs attaches itself to a host lifeform, Starro is able to control them in any way it sees fit. In DC Comics, Starro has many abilities (including flight, superhuman strength and regeneration), but its most famous power is its army of mind controllable starfish. Who is Starro? To put it simply, it’s a huge, cosmic starfish-esque monster who has plans for world domination. It’ll be fascinating to see who Gunn kills off in The Suicide Squad, then, and we suspect that a few of those deaths will come at the hands of the movie’s main villain – Starro. Gunn has previously revealed that he had free rein to kill any supervillain that he wanted (per Total Film (opens in new tab)) and that each actor knew whether their character would live or die before The Suicide Squad’s production began. That’s not to say that Harley Quinn, Bloodsport and Peacemaker are immune, either. With so many characters in The Suicide Squad, it’s inevitable that most of them will be bumped off. If anyone’s laying down bets, the smart money is against them – all of them.” “And, as always, one wrong move and they’re dead (whether at the hands of their opponents, a team mate, or Waller herself). Trekking through a jungle teaming with militant adversaries and guerilla forces at every turn, the Squad is on a search-and-destroy mission with only Colonel Rick Flag on the ground to make them behave, and Amanda Waller’s government techies in their ears, tracking their every movement. “Today’s do-or-die assignment? Assemble a collection of cons… then arm them heavily and drop them (literally) on the remote enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese. Where the worst Super-Villains are kept and where they will do anything to get out – even join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X. “Welcome to Hell – a.k.a Belle Reve, the prison with the highest mortality rate in the US of A. With that out of the way, here’s The Suicide Squad’s official synopsis (per the movie’s official website (opens in new tab)): If we don’t have to watch that flick to understand The Suicide Squad, we don’t think there’ll be many overt references to the 2016 installment. Given the above information, one thing we don’t expect to see (or hear) is callbacks to David Ayer’s Suicide Squad. The Suicide Squad sequel: is it a follow-up to 2016’s Suicide Squad? The Guardians of the Galaxy star was eager to join Gunn for the DCEU movie but, due to scheduling conflicts with Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead (per Entertainment Weekly) he had to pass on being involved. One actor who we won’t see in The Suicide Squad is Dave Bautista. These include Joaquín Cosío as General Mateo Suárez, Juan Diego Botto as Corto Maltese’s dictator Silvio Luna, Storm Reid as Bloodsport’s daughter Tyla, Jennifer Holland as Waller’s assistant Emilia Harcourt, and Suicide Squad comic writer John Ostrander as Doctor Fitzgibbon. Waititi has also been cast in another undisclosed role, while Agee will also portray Belle Reve warden John Economos, alongside other actors in supporting roles. Sylvester Stallone as King Shark (voice Steve Agee portrays King Shark on screen).There are plenty of big names in this movie, and we’re hoping that they’ll get the screen time necessary to showcase their undoubted talents: We aren’t messing around when we say that The Suicide Squad’s cast is absolutely stacked.
