The Suicide Squad is now playing in theaters and is available to stream on HBO Max until September 5th. Previously, director James Gunn explained that you don’t need to see the 2016 Suicide Squad in order to understand his new take on Task Force X. The first film was helmed by David Ayer, who has been very open about wanting Warner Bros. to release his version of the film, similar to HBO Max’s recent release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Despite Ayer’s displeasure with the final cut of Suicide Squad, the director has been extremely supportive of Gunn’s follow-up. In fact, the two directors often have public chats on Twitter, and their most recent was about how Gunn filmed The Suicide Squad for IMAX.

I loved it. It’s more expensive because a greater amount of area for VFX costs, but for a movie with a tower at the center of it I love the height.
