Potential Spoilers
In a first, a successful MCU director James Gunn, famous for the Guardians of the Galaxy movie series, has hopped on board to save the sinking ship that is the DCEU. Being no different to making movies on a group of trigger-happy gun-slinging misfits who are forced together by destiny to save the day, James Gunn is working on his Suicide Squad movie simply called “The Suicide Squad”, which happens to be “requel” (a sort of reboot and a sequel) of David Ayer’s box office bomb Suicide Squad (2016) with many characters reprising their respective roles.
As often with superhero-movies, their plot gets leaked online some of which is legit while some of which is mostly fans making an educated guess after careful inspection of trailers and set photos. Here is a round-up of all the leaked plot details of The Suicide Squad:
