Apparently to be renamed "Career Suicide Squad", starring Kevin Spacey.

But seriously, this is a really interesting development, and definitely the right move for DC to attempt to snatch him up and hopefully repair some damage to the DCEU.

Already tried to rip off Guardians so badly might as well rip off the director too.

Yes, because what we REALLY need are more origin stories.

you can write superhero stories that aren't origin stories. spider-man homecoming for example was great. also, as I'm sure you already know, plenty of comics got off the ground by writing actual story arcs first and then going back and "revealing" the origins of the characters later.

just because hollywood is obsessed with doing things one way right now doesn't mean it always has to be that way.

... an oscar for best makeup.

Clearly a sign that it warrants a sequel and not, like, "Hey more people should hire their makeup artists."

I mean, if you think origins would have prevent a rush that precluded quality, more power to you, but we got origins on the Trinity and we're supposedly getting origin work in Aquaman. Four of the six Avengers got origins prior to that release, so it's not that far off of that base.

I think it's time to stop with the superhero movies honestly.

Avengers 4 should be the end of them for at least 10 years.

Phase? I still see girls with Daddy's Little Monster shirts around occasionally. Harley Quinn is huge and WB knows it. She's going to be in a planned Birds of Prey movie and there was a "Joker and Harley" concept floating around recently we might see if that one goes well.

That's a lot of Harley

Lets be real here Im sure a lot of the money it made was because of Will Smith factor and Harley sex factor. Its not like anybody went to see it for anything else and the guys who made it clearly thought the same given how little the rest of the characters mattered. I dunno why Katana was in it at all since she had like 30 seconds of screen time and maybe 3-5 lines. Like why even bother if thats all youve got

They'll make superhero movies until they stop being profitable, and a little beyond that.

DC's problem is that they never did anything good while they had the chance, the benefit of the doubt, and the good faith of potential viewers. maybe they can still make good money off of these movies but I'll never understand how or why. they literally have the reputation of 'that other studio that makes crappier movies.'

it's not a bizarre take at all. the promo material for suicide squad (the film) definitely ripped off gotg.

DC absolutely tried to make Suicide Squad the GotG of the DCEU, especially with the marketing

Shazam looks like a good time which is about the opposite of how the other DCEU movies have looked. Well I guess Suicide Squad trailers tried to make it seem that way too, but hopefully Shazam is actually fun

What exactly was similar about GotG and SS marketing? They both used 70s music in a trailer? They both are about comedic antihero teams?

They're about teams of people who don't really like each other having to work to save the world, I guess.

"rip off" might be a strong term, but the suicide squad trailer with queen was definitely intended to capitalize on the same kind of approach that guardians took. it's obvious.

I'd want something different from Drax, so a character like Roland Desmond would be really cool. I could see him pulling off King Shark well, and maybe Rustam if you want to go even further left field from his tankier tough guy roles. What do you think?

Not a fan of Bane on a team unless it's the Secret Six, honestly. Never thought he fit that sort of dynamic. He could probably play Bane well, though.
