The Suicide Squad Is No Holds Barred with 100% More Shark Promises James Gunn

One of the bold superhero films is the upcoming DCEU providing from James Gunn, The Suicide Squad. After the breakout success of Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, followers predict massive issues from the filmmaker's first foray into the DCEU. And it appears like Gunn intends to oblige. When a fan requested the filmmaker on Twitter what makes The Suicide Squad completely different from his earlier movies, Gunn offered a promising rationalization.

"100% more shark (and no holds barred in any way). [Later adding] No holds barred means I wasn't constrained by the formulas of most tentpole films OR budget OR rating. YES sometimes those constraints can be a help, so I was committed to first & foremost telling a tight story about unlovable characters we could love."

That reference to not being constrained by the formulation of a tentpole function is likely to be seen as a knock in opposition to the MCU. Whereas James Gunn has at all times maintained that he loved loads of artistic freedom whereas making the Guardians movies, he has additionally admitted that there have been some story parts that needed to be inserted in them not as a result of he wished to incorporate them, however so as to arrange the occasions of the remainder of the "Infinity War" saga.

It appears Gunn felt no such constraints whereas making The Suicide Squad, and was free to do just about what he wished with the story and the characters. This implies audiences can be getting a style of pure, unadulterated Gunn within the upcoming movie. You recognize, the man who made 2006's Slither, a darkish comedy about alien parasites that take over people and rework them into grotesque, bloated, worm-like monstrosities.

We would fairly anticipate one thing simply as disturbing in The Suicide Squad, an R-rated function, together with the same old big-budget comedian guide motion spectacle, which Gunn had beforehand promised the film options loads of whereas speaking in regards to the mission throughout DC FanDome.

"It's gonna be different from any superhero movie ever made. This is by far the biggest movie I've ever made... This has been truly the greatest, most exciting journey of my life making this film... I will say we have about as many explosions and crashes in this film as in any film, ever. In fact, the guy who did all of our special effects on this film, Dan Sudick, who's done almost all of the Marvel movies... says there are more effects in this film than all of those movies he's done combined."
