Welcome back everyone this is going to be my brand new suicide squad trailer i bet you
didn't think that you were going to wake up listening to john cena talking about buttholes
and starfish there's a whole bunch of easter eggs here i'll explain where this fits in
the dc continuity there's a bunch of stuff going on they have big plans for some of these
characters too that are going to continue on to the peacemaker tv series the spin-off
series they're doing for john cena's peacemaker character that we're actually going to get
episodes for in january next year so if you're new to the channel be sure to subscribe to
get all the videos i will also be doing full episode videos for that peacemaker hbo tv
series when they do release it but i just love how they're trying to give john cena
the most wtf lines possible in all these trailers like in the last trailer it was about sucking
all the d on the beach now he's going on being super serious about buttholes like he's taking
this dead serious no hint of irony or joking in his voice and i love the way idris elba's
head almost swivels around on his body just to give him that look like dude seriously
seriously the other really funny thing here too big coincidence i know we're in the middle
of marvel's loki series on disney plus in the mcu obviously no real connection there
because it's the mcu but this base where most of the action takes place where they're experimenting
on starro where he goes crazy is actually supposed to be this former nazi base but it's
called yodenheim named after the realm of the frost giants where loki comes from james
gunn obviously big marvel director he didn't do that on purpose the whole idea is that
most of the movie takes place in courthole maltese which is this big location from the
batman comics that they've used in the movies and a lot of the tv shows it's meant to be
this big port of call for dc villains big warlords like this lawless place in the world
where you can go and do really shady stuff so no big surprise that it would have ties
to the nazis like nazis after world war ii went to hayden argentina a lot of nazis went
to do really shady stuff here a long time ago around world war ii and since then it's
just been taken over by a bunch of local warlords but they use most of this trailer to hype
up idris elba's bloodsport character robert dufois who's serving his sentence in belrev
prison for shooting superman with a kryptonite bullet henry cavill's superman just confirming
that this does have ties to the dceu especially because of margot robbie's version of harley
quinn but as amanda waller says he put superman in the icu and even though they don't explain
much about their history together like his history was superman in the comics his character
was hired by lex luthor to assassinate superman so i think that's also kind of the idea here
like he was hired by lex luthor for an ungodly sum of money to try and kill superman but
the events of this movie are supposed to take place after the events of the justice league
snyder cut so obviously not getting into the whole nightmare scene flash forward the big
time travel plot during the snyder cut sequels but the idea is that during that movie with
a lot of time travel from the flash they would have eventually defeated darkseid and things
would have slowly gone back to normal around the world all the justice league members at
a certain point would have gone on to their regular lives day to day just saving people
like they normally would so within a couple years of that happening lex luthor hires bloodsport
to assassinate superman and he's almost successful the big twist though that he doesn't want
to have anything to do with amanda waller's task force x he doesn't seem surprised by
the notion though like he knows all about it like yeah yeah i got it go screw yourself
i don't want anything to do with your crappy team attention to detail as well when he's
scrubbing the floor there inside bellerov prison it looks like he's scraping off a piece
of human skin but then they set the whole arc with his daughter to make you sympathize
with him a little bit so that he doesn't seem like such a bad person amanda waller makes
it seem like his daughter has this big court case like she might go to prison too for a
long time and the only way that it's going to go well for her that she's going to win
her court case is if bloodsport joins the team the whole idea though with amanda waller
is that she's supposed to feel like one of the main villains even though technically
she's not the actual main villain like she's supposed to feel as bad as some of the main
villains the idea with suicide squad movies is there always is some kind of main antagonist
but because it's a movie about villains traditionally they want to make them feel more like anti-heroes
in more of shades of gray so no one's really good no one's really bad like at some point
you'll probably sympathize with starro i think the idea here the way they set it up is that
they found him or they captured him when he was really small really young and they've
been experimenting on him this whole time and he just naturally grown to this huge size
so even though starro is this huge dc villain like he's the og justice league villain if
you've read that original justice league story their first big team up starro was the first
villain that they fought together so normally you think of him as this really bad force
in the universe but i think the idea is that during the movie you sympathize with him a
little bit because the government or this faction of the military has been experimenting
on him this whole time i love the way amanda waller sets up the plan though operation starfish
has gone completely off the rails based on staro's powers it sounds like the government
or the military faction responsible for this whole experiment was trying to use starro
as a means of creating a more controllable army like more effective soldiers and because
it seems like peter capaldi's version of the thinker was here long before the suicide squad
rolls up it sounds like they're trying to use him as part of this big experiment because
his main power is mind control they've done versions of the thinker before but not quite
this comic book accurate looking like he looks very close to comic book thinker and i believe
he's supposed to be the clifford devoe version but he looks very much like the new 52 design
of the thinker so he's not really a member of the suicide squad so to speak but he's
down there and they use him as part of their plan like they have that whole big funny sequence
in the last trailer like if you do anything wrong we will kill you on the spot but like
i said it sounds like based on the way starro just bursts out of this giant yodenheim nazi
base that they had been keeping him locked up underground and had some way of preventing
superman and other heroes around the world other superheroes from detecting that he was
there because you think that superman would try to do something if he found out about
a giant starfish from space that was mind controlling people i think the idea though
is that they probably captured starro before superman came into his powers or even maybe
before he crashed to planet earth james gunn is a huge comic book nerd so usually they
build in explainers like that during the movie there'll be some funny way of explaining how
other superheroes like the justice society dr fate did not find out about starro they've
also finished a lot more of the visual effects on this too i love the effect that they use
for starro with his main ability spawning thousands of smaller starfish using them to
mind control everybody in these big crowd shots here like you have to imagine that there's
this giant army outside all being mind controlled by starro they also explain some of his lesser
abilities here too like he has these small tendrils that come out of his arms that he
uses to grab king shark and throw him into a building explaining how starro can actually
physically grab things and even though they give some of the crazier lines to john cena's
peacemaker character who's like the douchebag version of captain america like imagine the
douchiest version of captain america you could think of they do not shy away from any wcf
harley quinn jokes like sorry guys sorry i'm late i just had to pull a number two just
had to drop a deuce but ready to go now and i love the dynamic between some of these team
members here too obviously we have a lot of characters returning from the first suicide
squad movie so they'll also explain the timeline and what was going on with that too like the
idea that this is just the next version of the suicide squad team the next roster in
a long line of different teams that she's put together i think the idea was that will
smith had some sort of schedule conflict or didn't want to come back for this movie and
that's why they got idris elba like they were originally thinking about recasting his version
of deadshot but then decided just to make idris elba a completely different character
so there are some characters from that original team that are still alive that just didn't
come back for this version of the team i cannot wait for james gunn to try and redeem captain
boomerang he wasn't that great during the first suicide squad movie so there's nowhere
to go for that character but up the way that james gunn also explained it too talking more
about carryover from the first film is that there is no joker in this version of the movie
harley queen is showing up here after the events of the birds of prey movie she gets
arrested for some other crime then gets thrown back in bellerop prison she didn't kill the
joker during that film so jared leto's joker is still alive in the dc eu and obviously
we just saw him during the justice league snyder gun and he survived to that flash forward
nightmare scene there'll probably be some brief references to him during this film just
to explain the timeline the continuity but for the most part he's not really a character
during the film the only other really big characters that i know of that are in the
trailer that aren't actually members of the core team are alice braga's character she's
named soul soria she's supposed to be the leader of the local resistance on corto matis
fighting against this dictator called sylvia luna played juan diego boda she seems like
she just winds up helping them out during their mission but some of these characters
that you see during the trailer will come back for the john cena peacemaker tv series
so i don't know if that means that they're going to be doing a lot of bell rev stuff
during that it sounds like they'd have to because for instance jen holland's character
here who's like amanda waller's assistant she's a character on the peacemaker tv series
so her character's coming back for that so i'm assuming that if she works at bell rev
that they're also doing bell rep during that the way james gunn has talked about it he
hasn't completely explained the timeline of the peacemaker series like if it all takes
place after the events of the suicide squad film i think he just doesn't want to give
it away because he doesn't want to tell you whether or not john cena survives but i think
the idea is that he does survive the events of the film and some of the peacemaker series
will take place after but they'll also use it to tell his origin story and how he became
that character so there'll be flashbacks on it too they haven't really said much about
any other huge cameo scenes from the other justice league actors but like i said obviously
this is connected to the dc eu because of marco robbie's harley quinn and the other
characters from the first suicide squad movie there's been a lot happening with the dc movies
lately they're in the middle of filming the flash movie right now we actually finally
got our first look at supergirl so this is the new version supergirl it's a very injustice
looking version of the costume but it's based on henry cavill's superman costume the designs
and we finally got to see michael keaton's batman in the flesh walking around interacting
with the other characters we actually got our first look at the new shazam costumes
as well this is the entire shazamly and now mary marvel the actress who place her is old
enough that she's playing both versions of the character the powered up and the non-powered
up version but if you have any big questions about what's going on with the suicide squad
or the continuity with the other justice league movies and characters just let me know in
the comments below i will do more dc videos as we get more footage from all the movies
we'll probably get a new trailer for the batman movie with robert pattinson a little bit later
this year too my full loki episode 3 video will post next while you wait for everything
