Within each of our characters there's a certain beauty
within most of them some of them are just pretty crappy through and through
be like a captain america the guy who believes
in peace at any cost no matter how many people he needs to
kill along the way okay i got it don't ever settle back like you think
you know where this is going because you don't as soon as you have some sense
about what's about to happen next james comes in
everyone's exploding heads arms legs
it's like a big massive graphic novel brought to life
this is by far the biggest movie i've ever made i don't think that you know what to
expect don't get too attached this has been
truly the greatest most exciting
journey of my life making this film
cut that was great
Welcome back everyone it's Charlie this is going to be my video for the new
suicide squad teaser and hbo announcement
if you don't know what's going on there's going to be a new suicide squad
big budget tv show on hbo in 2022. there's a whole bunch of easter
eggs i'll explain what they're doing with it which
characters are going to appear in it it's just like the batman
spin-off tv show that matt reeves is doing from the batman movie with robert
pattinson if you're new to the channel be sure to
subscribe to get all the videos of course i'll be doing episode videos for
this when it does premiere there's a bunch of big hbo dc series that they're
working on right now that we're going to see in the next couple of years
so just starting with the big stuff first number five warner brothers
obviously just announced that there's a suicide squad tv show for hbo max coming
in 2022 it will star john cena's peacemaker
character from the suicide squad movie that's dropping next year
in a bunch of other characters from that movie now i know the first thing most of
you said in my timeline when i was tweeting about
this the other day was how are we going to watch it if we can't see
john cena so i'm sure that's going to be the top comment on every single suicide
squad episode video that i do when the show eventually premieres
post all your john cena memes it's going to be crazy
the way james gunn explained the show is that he said he had so much extra time
to kill between the filming of the suicide squad
movie and guardians of the galaxy 3 over in the marvel cinematic universe that he
spent all that extra time this past year in lockdown just writing a suicide squad
tv show he said that it started when warner
brothers came to him looking for more big budget dc
justice league tv shows for hbo max in peru's comments they basically asked him
if he could have any characters from the movies the dc movies
to base a tv show around who would those be and john cena's peacemaker was one of
the characters that he picked the series is going to be eight episodes long
obviously it'll run for multiple seasons we already know a lot about his
character and what the tv show is going to be like
compared to the movie but this should be no surprise it's just a continuation of
warner brothers spending huge money for more movie crossovers
with the dc movies on hbo max they just announced matt reeves was
doing the batman tv show for hbo max a little while ago
that's going to be a batman spin-off set during batman year one
inside the new university's creating for robert pattinson's batman movie
the batman movie itself is going to take place during batman year two still very
early proto-era batman compared to other batman movies like
christian bale's batman begins but number four a lot of you will
remember this isn't the first time that warner brothers has tried to do
a suicide squad tv show a long time ago in a galaxy far far away
you may remember they tried to do a version of the suicide squad on arrow
before the first suicide squad movie was released if you ever had any hope of joe
manginello's deathstroke coming back in the dc eu
it would be on this suicide squad tv show or any suicide squad movie sequels
that james gunn winds up doing and if you're still salty about that all
those people at warner brothers have since been fired so
if you're still upset about what happened with zack snyder in the justice
league snyder cut the first suicide squad movie debacle
all those people have famously or infamously been fired now that they've
launched hbo max they need to convince people that it's worth paying the money
to subscribe and they need to compete with avengers marvel disney plus shows
in the stuff that netflix is putting out so it's a no-brainer that they're
reaching into the toy box for big budget dc
content from the dceu they're also doing the green lantern core series they're
doing a full-blown justice league dark team-up series
they're doing a new constantine series in zatanna all those are happening on
hbo and that's only just a small part of it
they're doing way more stuff that they haven't announced
yet i know everyone wants to hear the news that ben affleck is coming back to
do a batman hbo series but that's not actually happening matt
reeves batman hbo series is the only batman series that they're working on
right now number three but what is this suicide
squad hbo series actually going to be about
well the plot synopsis that james gunn in the studio released says that it will
explore the origins and adventures of john cena's peacemaker character
and during the suicide squad trailer as they say he's the douchey version of
captain america from marvel's avengers the reason why he was locked up and
forced to become a member of the suicide squad is because he kills
so many people he's almost closer to being like dc's version of the punisher
he believes in peace at any cost so much that he's willing to kill as
many people as possible to make it happen
that's where his name peacemaker comes from the version of the character that
john cena is playing is the christopher smith peacemaker who debuted back in
1966 in charlton comics title called fightin five charlton comics is also
where blue beetle and captain adam came from
dc bought them early on and gained the rights to all those characters
his version of peacemaker had a short-lived run with the suicide squad
in the comics and seemingly died when lasting crashing a helicopter
into eclipso in a bid to kill him they're actually
doing eclipso on star girl season 2 but that's a cw show so that's not connected
to what's going on with suicide squad hbo
stuff if you read that big dc watchman crossover watchmen doomsday clock that
was a big dr manhattan vs superman title peacemaker showed up in the background
of that too so obviously there's not a ton of
pre-existing story for his character in the comics like there is for people like
batman superman wonder woman the holy trinity
because the new batman hbo show is going to be a prequel to the batman movie with
robert pattinson when james gunn was asked that same
question is this going to be a prequel suicide squad show to the new movie
he said that they were waiting till after the movie was released to announce
what the timeline of the show is going to be
mostly just to prevent spoilers as to whether or not john cena's character
gets killed off during the movie because the whole tagline that they're
going with to promote it is don't get too
attached as in most of those characters will probably get killed off during the
movie that's the whole idea they're expendable
it would be weird if they didn't kill them off but he did say that just
because the show is exploring the origins of john cena's character it
doesn't confirm that it's a prequel so my assumption
just based on what he's saying is that he's going to survive the suicide squad
movie and the show will mostly take place in the future
after the events of the movie and they'll just do flashbacks to his
origins in early years taking the mantle number two i know
you're all asking how is this connected to the justice league movies the dc eu
movies since it's them doing the exact same
thing as one division falcon and winter soldier over in the
marvel cinematic universe with those avengers characters
showing up in their own tv shows the suicide squad show obviously is totally
connected to all the dceu movies i know it's kind of a weird case with
robert pattinson's batman movie because that's kind of in a self-contained
bubble of continuity by itself it's not really connected to justice league
right now maybe after the flash movie and flashpoint that'll be a different
but the new suicide squad movie itself is not a complete reboot it will
acknowledge the first movie and some of the characters from that first movie are
coming back like rick flagg captain boomerang amanda waller they all
show up during that trailer they haven't said exactly what the
timeline is going to be other than it's after the events of the justice
league movie because one of the clues that they gave us is
that idris elba's character bloodsport is in prison for shooting henry cavill's
superman with a kryptonite bullet so obviously it has to be after he comes
back to life during the justice league movie
and even though the story of the justice league snyder cut for superman is going
to be vastly different than the theatrical cut
the movie still takes place in the same point in the timeline that part isn't
changing in number one i know a lot of you were
asking about the rumors of henry cavill signing a new superman contract recently
but warner brothers hasn't made any official statements and henry cavill
himself recently in interviews has said that a
lot of what he's heard people saying on the internet isn't totally
true and he did say he's not planning on correcting anyone's statements he's just
going to stay quiet about it until the studio wants to
make their own announcement themselves but yeah i think we all agree he's
totally coming back in some cameos the rock even spent all of that black
adam trailer at dc fandom hyping up black adam versus
superman and then black adam versus the entire
justice league but let me know in the comments what are you most hyped up for
in this new suicide squad hbo series and which other big dc hbo series do you
want them to do in the future because it sounds like they are shopping
for a ton of justice league spin-off series
while you wait for everything click here to re-watch that new batman trailer a
billion more times and click here for that brand new avengers wand division
trailer thank you so much for watching everyone
stay safe i'll see you guys tonight!
