Why Is There Another Suicide Squad Movie?

The DC Extended Universe is no stranger to controversy. From the mixed reactions to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice to the critical drubbing of Justice League, the DCEU has had its share of ups and downs. But one of its most polarizing films is 2016’s Suicide Squad.

The DC Extended Universe

The DC Extended Universe is a term used for the shared universe that is centered around a series of superhero films, produced by Warner Bros. and featuring characters from DC Comics.

The shared universe, much like the original comic book source material, revolves around a group of super-powered individuals who are recruited by a government agency to carry out dangerous missions in exchange for commuted prison sentences. The team, known as the Suicide Squad, is made up of some of the most dangerous criminals in the DC Universe, and their missions are often suicidal in nature.

The DCEU began with Man of Steel in 2013, which was followed by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in 2016. Suicide Squad was released in 2016, and Justice League was released in 2017. Aquaman is set to be released in 2018, with Shazam! and Wonder Woman 2 set for 2019. There are also several other films in development, including The Batman, Batgirl, Black Adam, Cyborg, Green Lantern Corps, The Flash, and Aquaman 2.

The DCEU has been met with mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike; while some have praised the films for their ambition and visual style, others have criticized them for their dark tone and lack of humor. Despite this divided reaction, the DCEU has proven to be a financial success for Warner Bros., grossing over $3.8 billion at the worldwide box office.

The critical and commercial reception of Suicide Squad

The critical and commercial reception of Suicide Squad was largely negative. The film was criticized for its plot, characters, and acting, although some praised the visuals and Margot Robbie’s performance as Harley Quinn. Suicide Squad grossed $746 million worldwide, making it the tenth highest-grossing film of 2016. Despite its financial success, the film was considered a box office disappointment and received five Golden Raspberry Awards nominations (including Worst Picture), losing all to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

The success of the Joker

The success of the Joker has led to a lot of speculation about why Warner Bros. would green light another Suicide Squad movie. The answer, it seems, is that the studio is hoping to replicate the success of Marvel’s villain-focused movies.

The original Suicide Squad was panned by critics, but it was a box office hit, grossing over $745 million worldwide. It’s possible that Warner Bros. saw the film’s commercial success as proof that audiences are interested in seeing more movies about villains rather than heroes.

In recent years, Marvel has had a lot of success with its movies focused on villains, such as “Logan” and “Venom.” It’s possible that Warner Bros. is hoping to replicate that success with its own villain-focused movie.

It’s also worth noting that the Joker is one of DC’s most popular characters, and he played a major role in the success of “Suicide Squad.” It’s possible that Warner Bros. is hoping to capitalize on that popularity by making another movie focused on the character.

The popularity of Harley Quinn

With the recent release of the Suicide Squad movie, some people may be wondering why there is another one. The answer lies in the popularity of Harley Quinn, one of the main characters.

Harley Quinn is a fan favorite for several reasons. First, she is a strong and independent woman. She does not take orders from anyone and is not afraid to speak her mind. Second, she is a skilled fighter and often uses her fists instead of guns. This makes her a formidable opponent. Finally, she has a great sense of humor and is often seen cracking jokes, even in the midst of battle.

These qualities have made Harley Quinn popular with both men and women. She is someone who people can look up to and aspire to be like. With the release of the Suicide Squad movie, Harley Quinn will no doubt become even more popular and iconic.

The success of Margot Robbie

It’s been three years since David Ayer’s Suicide Squad was released, and yet a sequel is already in the works. So why is there another Suicide Squad movie?

The simple answer is that the first movie was a success, thanks in large part to Margot Robbie’s portrayal of Harley Quinn. The character was so popular that she even got her own spin-off movie, Birds of Prey.

With Harley Quinn as the breakout star, it makes sense that Warner Bros. would want to capitalize on her popularity with another Suicide Squad movie. And with Margot Robbie signed on to reprise her role, it looks like the second movie will be just as successful as the first.

The success of Will Smith

The success of Will Smith, who played Deadshot in the original movie, is one of the main reasons why there is another Suicide Squad movie. Smith is one of the most popular and successful actors in Hollywood, and his involvement in a movie usually guarantees its success. Other members of the cast, such as Margot Robbie and Jared Leto, also have a large fan base that will ensure that people go to see the movie.

The success of Jared Leto

It seems that every time a new Suicide Squad movie is announced, fans are left wondering why. The franchise is not exactly beloved, and the first film was panned by critics. So why is there another Suicide Squad movie in the works?

The answer may lie in the success of Jared Leto’s Joker. Leto’s Joker was one of the few bright spots in the first Suicide Squad movie, and his performance was widely praised. It’s possible that Warner Bros. is hoping to capitalize on Leto’s popularity by giving him a larger role in the next Suicide Squad film.

Whatever the reason, it looks like we’re going to get another Suicide Squad movie whether we want it or not. So let’s just hope that Warner Bros. learned from their mistakes and gives us a better film this time around.

The box office success of Suicide Squad

In 2016, Warner Bros. released Suicide Squad, a film about a team of supervillains who are recruited by the government to carry out dangerous missions. The film was met with mixed reviews from critics, but it was a box office success, grossing over $746 million worldwide.

Now, just two years later, Warner Bros. is set to release a sequel, Suicide Squad 2. So why is the studio rushing to release another Suicide Squad movie?

There are a few reasons. Firstly, the first film was a financial success, so there is clearly an audience for these films. Secondly, the Suicide Squad characters are popular enough to warrant their own standalone films (e.g. Harley Quinn and Deadshot are both getting their own movies). And finally, with the success of Marvel’s Avengers films, Warner Bros. knows that there is money to be made in ensemble superhero movies.

So while some may question the need for another Suicide Squad movie so soon after the first one, from a business perspective, it makes perfect sense.

The possibility of a sequel

With the release of Suicide Squad in 2016, many people are wondering if there will be a sequel. The movie was not received well by critics, but it grossed over 740 million dollars at the box office. Suicide Squad was the sixth highest grossing movie of 2016, behind Finding Dory, Captain America: Civil War, Zootopia, The Jungle Book, and Deadpool. Even though it was not well-received by critics, the movie’s box office numbers show that there is still an audience for the movie.

It is still too early to say if there will definitely be a sequel to Suicide Squad, but it is a possibility. If there is a sequel, it is likely that it will be released in 2020 or 2021.

The future of the DC Extended Universe

The DC Extended Universe is in a bit of a predicament. “Wonder Woman” was a critical and commercial success, but “Justice League” was neither. And while “Aquaman” is currently on track to be a success, it’s not the guaranteed home run that Warner Bros. needs right now. The studio’s solution? Make another Suicide Squad movie.

It’s an interesting move, considering that the first “Suicide Squad” was also a critical flop. But with box office receipts of $746 million worldwide, it’s clear that there’s still interest in the team of supervillains. And with Warner Bros. shaking up its leadership, it seems that the studio is looking to take some risks in order to turn things around.

So far, there’s no word on who will direct or write the new “Suicide Squad” movie. But with production set to begin in 2019, we’ll surely find out more soon.
