The story of The Suicide Squad - Suicide mission

On the orders of Amanda Waller, inmates from Belle Reve Penitentiary are sent to the island nation of Corto Maltese to destroy Jotunheim, a Nazi-era prison and laboratory that houses political prisoners and conducts experiments. The Thinker works with Corto Maltese's government as the lab's chief scientist, overseeing the Starfish Project.

The mission begins with Task Force X members Harley Quinn, Rick Flag, Captain Boomerang, TDK, Mongal, Javelin, Savant, Blackguard and Weasel lined up on a beach in Corto Maltese to travel to the lab. Weasel can't swim and drowns, Blackguard attempts to sell the team to Corto Maltase's army, but is shot and killed. Mongal, Captain Boomerang, TDK, Javelin and Savant are all killed with Harley and Flag as the only survivors. Harley is captured by the army as Flag disappears into the bush. Meanwhile, Bloodsport, Nanaue, Ratcatcher 2, Polka-Dot Man and Peacemaker arrive on another of the island's beaches and are ordered to find and rescue Flag. The team rescues Flag and convinces the island's rebel faction led by Sol Soria to join them in destroying Jotunheim and removing President Luna di Corto Maltese, who recently came to power in a military coup.

Harley is taken to the president's building to meet Luna who wants Harley to be her partner. After a brief adventure, Luna proposes to Harley and explains her plans to use Jotunheim to torture political dissidents. In response, Harley shoots and kills him. She is later arrested and tortured by Luna's men.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Squad are stationed in a nightclub, awaiting the Thinker's arrival to use him to infiltrate Jotunheim. Shortly after his arrival, Luna's soldiers raid the club in search of the team. Ratcatcher and Nanaue start with The Thinker while Flag, Bloodsport and Peacemaker create a diversion by surrendering to the soldiers. During the transport, one of the soldiers tells them that Harley is alive and is questioned by Luna's successor, General Suarez. They then manage to escape by killing the soldiers in the truck and crashing the convoy. The team reunites and they decide to rescue Harley before resuming the mission.

Back at the palace, Harley is tortured by the general. She escapes and proceeds to kill the palace guards, finally coming out and meeting the rest of the team that was entering the palace to save her.

The Squad sneaks into Jotunheim and begins equipping the building with explosives, while the regime's army surrounds the building. The group splits into two groups to complete their tasks. Harley, Bloodsport, and Polka-Dot Man head to other floors to continue planting explosives. They are attacked by soldiers and their bombs are triggered prematurely. As the building begins to collapse, Bloodsport is separated from the rest as it falls off the building with debris. Flag, Ratcatcher, Peacemaker and The Thinker, meanwhile, are in the underground laboratory where Project Starfish's subject, the extraterrestrial Starro the Conqueror, is being held and tortured by the Thinker. The Thinker reveals how gruesome his experiments were and also how the US government played an important role in the project. Outraged and feeling betrayed, Flag finds the thrust with all the evidence of the project and threatens to release it to the press. Peacemaker, acting on Waller's orders not to allow drives to survive, points a gun at Flag. However, prematurely triggered bombs cause the laboratory ceiling to collapse and engulf them. A confrontation between Flag and Peacemaker ensues. As the debris settles, Starro is released from destruction and kills the Thinker. Ratcatcher runs and witnesses Peacemaker killing Flag. Peacemaker sees her take the car and chases her. As he is about to shoot Ratcatcher, Bloodsport falls out of the debris and shoots Peacemaker in the neck.

The production and distribution of the film

David Ayer was supposed to return as director for a Suicide Squad sequel by March 2016, but in December he chose to develop a Gotham City Sirens film instead. Warner Bros. considered several replacement directors before hiring Gavin O'Connor in September 2017. He left in October 2018 and Gunn was hired to write and direct the film after being temporarily fired from Disney and Marvel Studios as director of Guardians of the Galaxy. vol. 3 (2023). He drew inspiration from John Ostrander's Suicide Squad war movies and comics from the 80s and decided to explore new characters in a separate story from the first film's narrative, though some cast members return from Suicide Squad. Filming began in Atlanta, Georgia in September 2019 and concluded in Panama in February 2020.

The Suicide Squad - Suicide mission (The suicide squad) was released in theaters in the UK on July 30, 2021 and is expected to be released in the US on August 5, while streaming on HBO Max for a month starting the next day.

In Italy it will be distributed on August 5, 2021 and premiered from August 2

The Suicide Squad - Suicide mission (The suicide squad) opens on Friday, and if you catch it on IMAX (recommended) or HBO Max a superhero movie awaits you that restores the game in many ways. It's full of brain sketches, limb-shattering violence… and yet within it a film about damaged people finding healing and perhaps some redemption. Director James Gunn mixes the heartwarming team comedy of his Guardians of the Galaxy with the surprising shock comedy of his early work for something that looks fresh, even after superhero movies have become the dominant form of hit in the past 20 years.

It's a reboot for The Suicide Squad - Suicide mission (The suicide squad) and perhaps even the DCEU, which has worked extensively under the study of tinkering and babbling about vision. While Suicide Squad (No. THE) director David Ayer complained long and publicly about the huge changes from his vision of the first film, and Zack Snyder had those legendary problems with the Justice League, Gunn had carte blanche to give The suicide squad his way.

The camaraderie between the characters extends to the cast and was heavily shown at an often chaotic zoom press conference held for the film, with 20 of the film's sprawling cast members on hand to talk about how Gunn created a big happy family from the crew. It's a wacky lineup as the film mix of third or fourth category supervillains, ranging from superstars like John Cena, Margot Robbie and Idris Elba to regular Gunn's repair players Michael Rooker and Nathan Fillion to comedians Flula Borg e Pete davidson.
