Let’s take a moment to soak in the lack of surprise that The Suicide Squad seems to be uber popular.
It’s something new and different, while also operating on a familiar wavelength to Gunn’s other comic franchise, Guardians of the Galaxy.
Throw in Margot Robbie’s insanely popular Harley Quinn and John Cena’s franchise future friendly Peacemaker, and you’ve got a cocktail for success in a time of great reopening.
With James Gunn’s DC epic toppling the record for red band trailer viewers, the very mature rated sequel kind of acts like a fresh breath of air to comic movie fans.
