James Gunn on The Suicide Squad Deleted Scenes, DC Universe, and Harley Quinn

- If you’re a fan of James Gunn and The Suicide Squad and curious how the film was made, you’re going to be very happy. That’s because shortly before the film was released in theaters and HBO Max, I landed an extended interview with the busy writer-director during which he talked in-depth about the making of the film and revealed several things you might not know.
During the conversation, Gunn revealed how he got Warner Bros. to let him make his version of The Suicide Squad, the way he incorporates notes from the studios he works with, if The Suicide Squad takes place in the same DC universe as Aquaman and The Flash, what scenes he removed and why, writing the Harley Quinn scenes and creating "Harley-Vision," what will be on the eventual Blu-ray, the challenges of the VFX on King Shark, his process of working with his second unit director Guy Norris, and more. In addition, he discussed the post-credits scenes and how the last one was added after he decided to make the Peacemaker HBO Max series, why they built the beach instead of filming on an existing one, how he decides on what rating a movie will have, and writing a script that has a number of surprising left turns.
As you’ve seen in the trailers and clips, The Suicide Squad is about a new group of villains recruited by Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) for a mission on the island of Corto Maltese called "Project Starfish." The Suicide Squad also stars John Cena as Peacemaker, Idris Elba as Bloodsport, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, David Dastmalchian as Polka-Dot Man, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, Sylvester Stallone as the voice of King Shark, Peter Capaldi as the Thinker, Daniela Melchior as Ratcatcher 2, Michael Rooker as Savant, Pete Davidson as Richard "Dick" Hertz/Blackguard, Nathan Fillion as T.D.K., Sean Gunn as Weasel, Alice Braga as Sol Soria, Mayling Ng as Mongal, and Flula Borg as Javelin.

I love how even James Gunn mixes up Bloodsport’s name as “Bloodshot”
More evidence that he was supposed to replace Deadshot 🤣
@TheMemes123 is this really a necessary correction, they're just talking it's not that serious
@@sepantap lmao
😂 shit he was gonna have deathstroke in there at one point
Love how James Gunn is subconsciously acknowledging the similarities between Will Smith and Idris’ characters by calling Idris ‘Bloodshot’
The power pedoconscious mind 🤣
@@shubhamjamwal5284 bruh
Bloodsport is better
@@shubhamjamwal5284 Troll
imagine if vin diesel was in the dceu though
Gunn calling the character “Bloodshot” 😝
I'm a HUGE fan of James Gunn, i'm honestly glad he plans on staying in the DCEU, James is a true gem, I can't express how proud I am of WB for hiring & trusting James Gunn :-)
Same! Can't wait for his DC films
the best thing is he reads and respects DC comics .
Yuck lol
You have no clue what you're talking about. Quiet yourself.
@@nazreplicas7930 hack snyder's garbage fans triggered
Talk about things i didn't realise i wanted: a James Gunn musical (preferably R-rated, possibly also a western).
This man is a rock star. 2 of the best marvel movies and them immediately makes the best DC movie
I will always think it's hilarious how Disney had their dumb temporary firing and DC immediately pulled up like "don't mind if I do."
James Gunn's Right side of his brain: "Blood Sport"
James Gunn's Left side of his brain: *Blood Shot*
It sounds like he calls Bloodsport "Bloodshot" twice. Good interview.
Now I need to see that seemingly adorable King Shark moment that they cut out. Sounds like it’s some really good stuff
I loved that he mentioned Super more than once. It's the one James Gunn movie I worked on.
What did you do?
@@Pickleboy45 Animated some tentacles splitting Bolt's head open.
@@michelbidart7286 how’s cool!
Any recent movies you’ve worked on?
@@lzasyr Not really, I work in games these days.
And now I want a James Gunn's DeadPool
JImmy G is star for bringing Starro to the big screen : D
I wanted to scream in the theater when he popped out of the ground. I think I was one of the only people who recognized him in my theater
5:46 “with Aquaman & the Flash…” fast forward to Peacemaker and those 2 exact characters cameo in that show. Well played Mr. Gunn.
He's an awesome director. Much respect for him.
I know that one of the dancers was the lady who played mantis in guardians.
I really wish Peter Capaldi had more screen time. Didn't know I needed a movie with him, Idris Elba, and Viola Davis playing off each other.
Dude was firing all those questions like crazy 😂
I'm a little confused as to why Gunn isn't referencing the flowers and butterflies effect of "harley vision" being in Birds of Prey, but whatevs. Just thought it was an obvious inspiration.
Regardless I FUCKING LOVE THIS MOVIE AND IS PINNACLE FILM MAKING JAMES GUNN IS A GENIUS
@7:45 that's why the thinker later has a bandage on his ear...
2:15
Wow😄
Now here he is actually directing Superman
Thank God James hasn't remained "cancelled" he's too skilled at making fun movies that are perfectly paced. I know there's talk of him doing Justice League in the future, but I personally would rather see him take the teen titans or even a more obscure group and make a film out of that. I personally enjoy how serious Justice League is taken, even the cartoons had the mythological dark mystery aspect. It would've been super fun to see a Batman year one made by James or even better a modern Batman and Robin. Of course with all the Batmen lately I think it'd be overkill but yea, God bless him. May he make many more ✌❤💯
Yeah...James Gunn working on a movie about underage kids would be right up his alley.
@junon go be a loser somewhere else.
I would only wanna see a Justice League movie by Gunn because I'm dying to see how he handles MAJOR characters - we already know how great he treats the obscure ones
@@lex_rodriguez 💯 I agree wholeheartedly man. I've been thinking the same. I guess in my mind I'm worried about losing the intense grounding of the mainline universe, which is silly. James knows what he's doing. I just don't know if he'd bring something new or take his classic strengths and implement them into the JL. I'm sure it'd be a bit of both.
I am 100% on board with James Gunn directing a Teen Titans film.
Wow, didn't expect a Suda51's Lollipop Chainsaw mention by James Gunn. Now i love him even more.
James Gunn wrote that game so...
@@Largentina. OH, I didn't know that, thanks for the info.
Great interview. Refreshing to have longer form content
Anyone else see a Groot face in that branch on the table behind James?
The main thing I love about Gunn: while he deserves all the praise he got for this 🎥 (my favorite of the year so far) he mentions all these people he works with. Cuz an average mega budget 🎥 is 10-15,000 jobs
I'm so happy for James Gunn, man.
I want to see a behind the scenes video with Flula so bad
i feel really bad for the suicide squad box office,this movie deserve more tbh damn it's really sucks
Blame Covid
I would love to see James Gunn do a western!
He could make his first idea on the suicide squad for the third ss film where they had to fight evil supes. He could bring Henry back as superman and also include many better villain to the squad like deathstroke to be fair
Funny that Guardians is a "Fantasy family movie" even though in the first one the Alien guy in prison was bout to say he was gonna rape Peter
Great interview and interesting insights from James Gunn.
Funniest movie I've seen in years. I hope he makes another one.
Amazing interview fun to see 2 people from the business talk and it is kinda funny tho that he keeps calling bloodsport bloodshot
James Gunn did Lollipop Chainsaw?! I loved that game!
Didn't know Lollipop Chainsaw was done by James Gunn. That game really felt like I was playing as Harley chopping up foes with a chainsaw. Super fun!
Nice foreshadowing mentioning the Flash & Aquaman with Peacemaker
I love how even James Gunn gets bloodsports name wrong
Throwing the GotG 2nd until director under the bus
That is a very good idea.... James Gunn directing Deadpool.
Thank you he is the perfect choice
My man got Noisy Boy from Real Steel on his shelf
James Gunn seems like such a chill guy
He's just amazing.
12:24 Suda-San!
Oh James, seriously James....I Love your mind ......so much!!
I dream of a King Shark TV series.
I also want another Gunn horror movie. Those are my demands.
I would love to see Gunn do a Red Hood movie
I’d imagine bloodshot to be a pothead with daredevil sight but it’s only him who can see through the smoke
Cause his eyes are bloodshot..:
Bloodshot is already a character
@@donaldtusk2678 do tell
@@wyattrussell7496 I’m not too familiar with the character but he had an adaptation last year starring vin diesel but I’ve heard it’s not very good
when will the blu ray be releasing?
Happy James Gunn!
Awesome interview
Bloodsport + Deadshot = Bloodshot
Or Deadsport
I think Gunn would be PERFECT for Deadpool
Such a weird trajectory this channel has had. From complex to an AMC transfer of power, to some guy named "Frosty"? Lmao or whoever this dude with black nails and the boujee bad bitch attitude is hahahahaha he was more behind the scenes from what I remember b4, but the last few years he's the face of it. I recently got back into Campeas content now that he has Robert and the 2 ladies in rotation. The closer to movie talk the better. Blows my mind that there isn't a channel I'm aware of with that same format. Something about the list of topics down the side of the screen thats exciting. Shoutout to Ashley Mova ✌❤ been enjoying these interviews lately. Maybe Collider can have a Renaissance for me
Honestly James Gunn is the only hope for the DCEU the suicide squad is the only DCeu movie I've watched and actually enjoyed (obviously the animated movies are still pretty good for the most part)
he is a keeper.
I know Pom was one of the dancers. Who were the others?
Love this movie!
Re: cutting great scenes, it's always shocking when we see them as extras, or even as unfilmmed script that answers questions. But pacing is such a crucial element a film, and most of the time, if you think about it, those scenes would bog down the pace, no matter how great they are. It's got to be the most painful part of the process, taking a great, finished scene, and leaving it out because it just doesn't quite work. But man, when a film's pace is off, it just sucks. I find, nine times out of ten, if the film isn't working and I don't know why, it's because of the pacing.
I'm glad, Eventually we have this king shark in the movie. I love it.
interviewer was on high gear, awesome!
Is it me, does he look like Ellen with a beard?
Lmao now I can't unsee that!!!
Bro they killed of some of the best characters Blackguard, Boomer and Flag 😭
25:13 Does James mean that one of the dancers looks like Gamora, the actress also seems familiar to me lol. Also, this movie was freakin' amazing in my opinion, everything that the 2016 version wasn't
It was Pom, she plays Mantis
Who are the dancers????
nice
omg please do a western and a musical. AND a western musical!!
Where can I get the same kind of shirt that James Gunn is wearing? I want one.
isnt Harleys vision there in arkham knight ?
Who is bloodshot sounds like he combined Bloodsport and Deadshot…
I was wondering " How did the Thinker end up with a bandage on his ear?"
Different things require different ratings
Spiderman should be rated r according to me because there is a dark story in comic about spider man.
Man, after TSS I really want a R-Rated Guardians movie 😂😂😂
god i hope the suicide squad exists beyond flashpoint if they're really serious about rebooting
Give him Gotham City Sirens!!
Justice league for james gunn pls
I'm not a moviemaker, so if I was given the budget to make whatever movies I wanted, I would have given them to other directors to make the movies they want:
Francis Fod Coppola should have been allowed to make Megalopolis
Don Bluth would have made Dragon's Lair
Shane Acker would have made whatever animated project he has been working on
Alex Proyas would have made Paradise Lost
Guillermo del Toro would have made At The Mountains of Madnass (and Born)
Neill Blomkamp would have made his Alien
I don't understand why some of the multi billionaires doesn't finance as least one movie
11:26 “Not dissected, but kinda dissected.” 🤔
Think he was looking for “analyzed”.
Scooby-Doo 3????
I hate clicking on collider ever since they dumped movie talk.
Why's he so grey all of a sudden?
He's not gray all of a sudden. It's just a pandemic decision of letting true colors out, I mean, he's been dying his hair dark these recent years.
Captain Boomerang show! I need more Boomer content!
Bloodshot 😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭
I THINK he's doing a Shazam movie......
Damn, imagine what guardians of the galaxy would have become without marvel PG13 BS
Getting a little bit full of himself.
Great movie but rip boomer
Kinda bummed no one's asked him if he saw a ghost in the last 2 years and that's why he's gone completely white-haired in such a short amount of time
Who dyes their hair white? Other than teenage girls I guess.
Blackguard
LEGENDARY!!! I AM THE GREATEST MUSIC ARTIST OF ALL TIME!!! THANK YOU GOD AND THANK YOU UNIVERSE!!!
This movie is trash .. can't believe the positive reviews it's getting. Sad
Get outta here snyder cultist
Then why are you here on this video Just to hate on the movie?
Snyder cultists 🖕
@@sultanaljumea9162 Are you a person or just a walking meme? ... Parrots just repeating dumb shit they see in 'conversations' online. 😂
Well, by virtue of the 2016 one's sheer existence it's automatically better. 2016 Suicide Squad wasn't great, and I don't mean just because Jared Leto's Joker felt like it was written by a 10 year-old boy.
