Principal Photography Has Wrapped on The Suicide Squad

by Dana Abercrombie0

Director James Gunn took to Instagram to share news The Suicide Squad has completed principal photography and to give us further insight on his experience with the movie.

And that’s a wrap on #TheSuicideSquad. My father died two weeks before we started filming and my dog died two weeks before the end. It was a hard, hard time in my life and yet the most fulfilling time I’ve ever had making a movie. The professionalism, talent, compassion and kindness of this cast and crew inspired me every day. Thanks to everyone involved in this film, in every stage of development, in every department – I am grateful from the bottom of my heart for you all. You are why I make movies. ❤️

The Suicide Squad began filming in September when Warner Bros. hired Gunn to direct the sequel to David Ayer’s Suicide Squad shortly after Disney and Marvel fired him from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 over tweets he made several years ago.

Gunn was eventually rehired for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and he will begin working on that film once post-production for The Suicide Squad is finished.

The Suicide Squad opens in theaters on August 6, 2021.

 

Former genius and a woman of mystery and power, whose power is exceeded only by her mystery, Dana Abercrombie has been watching movies since birth (yes birth...we did say "genius"). Despite her secret desire of wanting to give it all up to become a gorgeous billionaire, Dana is most passionate politics about movies often times getting in many heated debates resulting in being thrown out of many gatherings. Despite having a degree in English AND Journalism (multi-tasking FTW!) from the University at Albany-SUNY, she is currently interested in perusing a degree at Yale Law School, because one should never give up on a dream of becoming a gorgeous billionaire...and knowing how to sue someone as a result of those heated debates.
