When Gunn posted an image from the ’60s show Gilligan’s Island and an old depiction of cannibalism, that obviously meant that some kind of elaboration was needed and indeed was forthcoming.
Well, if The Suicide Squad director James Gunn had been given his way that is exactly what we could have seen in a reboot he once pitched and had rejected.
But what if the comedy adventures of seven castaways trying to survive on an island has taken a darker turn…say involving cannibals?
