The Suicide Squad is leaving HBO Max in a few days, but there’s plenty of behind-the-scenes content to enjoy on social media thanks to director James Gunn. Gunn has been sharing everything from fun behind-the-scenes videos to revealing easter eggs and posting set photos. We’ve also learned a lot of information about how Gunn and David Dastmalchian brought Polka-Dot Man to life. In a recent post, Gunn shared a closer look at some of the impressive make-up used on Dastmalchian during the production.
I like to think I was laughing with Dave as opposed to at him, but the contrast of being so moved by something so horrifying delighted me - just like Dave’s unique personality does all the time as my friend & collaborator. #TheSuicideSquad #PolkaDotMan pic.twitter.com/hk5MBDXhBD
Lots of changes were made to the makeup after this, but Legacy killed it with this practical prosthetic effect just like they did with all the prosthetics throughout the film. #TheSuicideSquad #PolkaDotMan pic.twitter.com/SA6kbmnInb
