Suicide Squad 2, or The Suicide Squad as it is officially known, is a 2021 superhero film based on the DC Comics.
It is a standalone sequel to Suicide Squad (2016) and the 10th film in the DC Universe.
Written and directed by James Gunn, the movie boasts an all-star ensemble cast including Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, Joel Kinnaman, John Cena, Viola Davis, Sylvester Stallone, and Pete Davidson.
However, despite The film becoming the most-streamed DCEU film on HBO Max, it underperformed at the box office. In total, The Suicide Squad only grossed $168.7 million worldwide against a budget of $185 million.
Then again, it was released in 2021 which was a terrible year for cinemas (pandemic!) and it was made available to stream on HBO Max – neither of which helped!
