The Suicide Squad: red band trailer for James Gunn sequel blasts online!

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Ooh, so this is exciting! Warner Bros. has just unleashed the new bloody, action-packed, and hilarious trailer for James Gunn's (Guardians of the Galaxy, Slither) upcoming sequel to the DCEU's Suicide Squad, simply-titled The Suicide Squad! You can check it out in the embed at the top of the article, and below is the official synopsis:

Super-Villains Harley Quinn, Bloodsport, Peacemaker and a collection of cons at Belle Reve prison join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X where they are heavily-armed and dropped off at the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese.

Now this is how you do an R-rated DC movie right! Look, humor! Colors! Well-choreographed action scenes! Characters with personality! Who knew that these things would be so sorely needed to make an entertaining comic book movie? Luckily Gunn does, and also glad to see he's been given free reign to let loose some of his old, dormant Troma gross-out tendencies (look at King Shark rip that dude like a goddamn Mortal Kombat Fatality!)

Anyway, The Suicide Squad – starring Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, John Cena, and Sylvester Stallone – will be coming only to theaters August 6th!

So who do you guys think will survive this to the end? Anyone willing to place bets? Either way, sound off below!
