Writer / director James Gunn, who has made a name for himself in the genre, has said that The Suicide Squad is the ultimate comic book movie of all time.

Writer / Director James Gunn says The suicide squad is the ultimate comic book movie of all time. Gunn began writing independent horror films and working on films such as the live-action Warner Bros. Scooby doo and that of Zack Snyder Dawn of the Dead. After making his directorial debut with horror comedy, To glide (2006), and making his first superhero outing with Great (2010), Gunn brought in a motley group of misfits, aka the guardians of the galaxy to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Due to his work on the guardians of the galaxy franchise, Gunn is now best known for overturning expectations associated with comic book movies. Prior to the release of this first film, causal moviegoers were not familiar with the names Star-Lord, Rocket, Groot, Gamora, and Drax. That’s why, when Marvel / Disney randomly (and briefly) decided to fire Gunn, Warner Bros. hired Gunn to write and direct a DC project of his choosing. Given his affinity for eccentric outcasts, Gunn was drawn to John Ostrander The suicide squad. The reboot / sequel by David Ayers Suicide Squad (2016) sees Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) and Task Force X and welcomes little-known newcomers including Bloodsport (Idris Elba), Peacemaker (John Cena), Weasel (Sean Gunn), Polka Dot Man (David Dastmalchian), King Shark (Sylvester Stallone) and TDK (Nathan Fillion).

This group of Suicide Squad members travel to Corto Maltese, a fictional island off the coast of Argentina, in an attempt to stop an insurgency.

Gunn’s villainous ensemble is set to honor the Ostrander comic book by being an unpredictable, R-rated game.
