The Suicide Squad Release Details

On top of Gunn's new release from the upcoming film, Melchior had some fun at the director's expense on Twitter asking him "@JamesGunn who leaked this???" while sharing a video parodying her character. The upcoming film follows the familiar path of the 2016 film where Waller holds a deadman's switch to keep Gotham's supervillain condemned in line to complete missions. If one falls out of line, the chip implanted at the base of their skulls goes off divorcing their heads from their bodies. The Suicide Squad premieres simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max on August 6.
