As if that weren’t enough, Gunn’s tweet came with answers to frequently asked questions he gets concerning the movie.

However, unlike most movies that get several trailers before release,The Suicide Squad’s“green band” trailer is pretty different from last week’s preview, something Gunn specifically pointed out because considers the opposite to be an annoying industry practice. Aside from not being the bloody mess that its uncensored cousin is,The Suicide Squad’snew trailerfeatures more screen time for the ever-present John Cena, whose upcoming Peacemaker series was created by Gunn.

Fans also get a closer look a the bro chemistry and a more dramatic presentation toThe Suicide Squadteam before they’re assembled for their next world-saving mission, with Idris Elba’s Bloodsport (not to beconfused with Deadshot or Zack Snyder’s Deathstroke) again looking like the real squad leader. Gunn also took the opportunity to clarify that the movie was completely shot on IMAX and, therefore, that’s the optimal way to enjoy it. The filmmaker also guaranteed to one fan that, for plot purposes, it’s OK if he didn’t see Ayer’sSuicide Squad.

Despite featuring many returning actors playing the same characters from Ayer’s film like Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn), Joel Kinnaman (Rick Flag), and Jai Courtney (Captain Boomerang),The Suicide Squadlooks to present them in a very different way that finally manages to giveDC movies the much-needed identitythey need to truly separate them from their Marvel counterparts. The way things are looking, Gunn’sSuicide Squadmight just get thatGuardians of the Galaxycharm going for it, especially considering the titular villains have so little competition nowadays.

Despite the excitement for Gunn’sThe Suicide Squad, there are still a number of vocal fans petitioning Warner Bros. to release Ayer’s director’s cut of his original film. The movement recently gained momentum in the wake ofZack Snyder’s Justice Leaguesuccessfully debuting on HBO Max.

The Suicide Squadwill release in theaters and on HBO Max on Jul 13, 2025.
