Gunn was subsequently rehired for Guardians 3, and he will begin working on that film once post-production for The Suicide Squad is finished.
The Suicide Squad began filming back in September.
The Suicide Squad will hit theaters on August 6, 2021.
The cast is also stacked with other James Gunn alums like David Dastmalchian, Nathan Fillion, Sean Gunn, Steve Agee, and Michael Rooker, plus fellow Marvel creatives like Taika Waititi.
