But even as the Guardians of the Galaxy writer and director James Gunn is ready to drop his reboot of the film, The Suicide Squad, he finds his predecessor’s work a success and even recently defended that Ayer “deserves to be lauded” for it.”
Given the major bashing it received, Suicide Squad getting the pre-announced sequel seemed like a distant dream.
Though David Ayer’s Suicide Squad was, undoubtedly, a commercial success, it failed to impress the critics who made their displeasure known about how the plot progressed and the way the characters were handled.
The Suicide Squad will see Viola Davis’ return as Amanda Walker heading the deadly squad while Margot Robbie is reprising her role of the crazed criminal and former psychiatrist Harley Quinn.
