The Arnies

After David Ayer declined to direct the sequel to the critically panned but financial hit that was the first Suicide Squad, the hunt for writers and directors commenced. Finally, in 2018 James Gunn was brought aboard the project after his initial firing from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 due to past controversial jokes and tweets resurfaced. The following year he was rehired for Guardians, leading to our first (credited) director to bridge the gap between the worlds of Marvel and DC. Gunn had his choice of any DC project to direct, and he even turned down a Superman film in favor of this Suicide Squad that mostly stands on its own. How does a James Gunn lead Suicide Squad fit into the DCEU? Listen in to hear our thoughts!
