The Suicide Squad: James Gunn finishes film early

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Recently on Twitter, James Gunn – writer-director of the upcoming The Suicide Squad – revealed that he's finished production on the massive superhero flick earlier than expect (including visual effects, with apparently no need for any pick-ups or reshoots). However, he still plans on holding off its release, so that it can be seen in theater with large audiences. 

You can check out the tweet below:

Yes, it is unusual, but I always planned to have it done by now. What's more unusual is that we didn't do a single shot of pickups or any post production shooting. Outside of Chris Nolan, that almost never happens, if at all, on tentpole superhero films. https://t.co/Fh9GtEaikM
