However, Suicide Squad’s figures look rather paltry when compared to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including Thor: The Dark World ($644 million), Iron Man 2 ($623 million), Iron Man 3 _($1.2 billion), _Captain America: The Winter Soldier ($714 million), Captain America: Civil War ($1.1 billion), The Avengers ($1.5 billion), and Avengers: Age Of Ultron ($1.4 billion).
But, Suicide Squad has already moved past the likes of Ant-Man, Captain America: The First Avenger, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, and Iron Man, which were all origin stories for these Marvel characters, just like SS was for the likes of Deadshot, Harley Quinn, The Joker, Captain Boomerang et al. In fact, the only origin story that Suicide Squad hasn’t and probably won’t get past is Guardians Of The Galaxy’s $773 million, which was something of a phenomenon back in 2014 as it seemed to perfectly capture the zeitgeist.
Compared to its peers in the DC Extended Universe, Suicide Squad still has $68 million to go to eclipse Man Of Steel’s $668 million that it amassed back in 2013.
But where does this total leave Suicide Squad in the rankings against its comic-book rivals?
