With writer-directorJames Gunn’sThe Suicide Squadgetting ready to open in theaters and stream on HBO Max, I recently spoke withNathan Fillion(T.D.K.),Jai Courtney(Captain Boomerang) andFlula Borg(Javelin) about making the fantastic film. During the fun interview, they talked about why they loved Gunn’s script, the way it weaves bloody violence with heart and soul, what fans would be surprised to learn about the making of the film, the practical sets, and they reveal who ruined the most takes from laughing at the dialogue.
As you’ve seen in the trailers and clips,The Suicide Squadis about a new group of villains recruited by Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) for a mission on the island of Corto Maltese called “Project Starfish.” In addition to Robbie, Dastmalchian, and Davis,The Suicide SquadstarsJohn Cenaas Peacemaker,Margot Robbie(Harley Quinn),Idris Elbaas Bloodsport,Joel Kinnamanas Rick Flag,David Dastmalchian(Polka-Dot Man),Sylvester Stalloneas the voice of King Shark,Peter Capaldias the Thinker,Daniela Melchioras Ratcatcher 2,Michael Rookeras Savant,Alice Bragaas Sol Soria,Pete Davidsonas Richard “Dick” Hertz/Blackguard,Sean Gunnas Weasel, andMayling Ngas Mongal.
Finally, while I had high hopes for the film, what James Gunn did with the film far exceeded my lofty expectations. Gunn has crafted one of the best films of the year and something that people will keep talking about many years in the future. I cannot recommend this film enough.
