Welcome back everyone it's Charlie we have our first look preview of
James Gunn's Suicide Squad they're calling it the
Suicide Squad instead of calling it Suicide Squad - but it effectively is a
sequel to the first movie I'll explain what the timeline and the continuity is
and how they're going to handle it and why all these characters look so crazy
we're doing a movie ticket giveaway all you have to do to enter is be subscriber
and leave your favorite Suicide Squad character on the video so just to
clarify what's going on with this movie this is set after the events of the
first Suicide Squad movie and instead of doing a full blown reboot of the first
Suicide Squad movie they're keeping the Suicide Squad as the title it just
writing into the story why it is there's so many different versions of the
Suicide Squad in a way that's funny but also explains the concept of the team
Amanda Waller taking criminals that nobody cares about using them for the
worst of the worst jobs that none of the heroes want to do because they might die
and the Suicide Squad members are all expendable so once I explain some of
these ridiculous characters that they have and why they seem so silly it'll
make more sense because part of the idea is is that you kill off members of the
Suicide Squad just to show how expendable they are at the beginning of
each of the movies
hold your fire sorry that's what I do
but several characters from the first film are coming back for the second film
just letting you know where it fits in the timeline in that they're not
completely wiping the first Suicide Squad from history
I'll explain these characters then I'll explain the story just a little bit the
setup is actually pretty hilarious but in a good way first there's mei-ling as
female Mangal Mangal with an A not Mongo she's the daughter of mongaul in the
comics she's only been used a couple times she showed up during our worlds at
war she kind of worked with the heroes but she's mostly known as a villain
Nathan Fillion is playing a Booster Gold villain called blackguard he's a
character from the future I don't know if they're gonna make him from the
future in the movie but he joins the criminal gang the 1000 they give him
this special suit of armor that gives him his abilities if you've been a fan
of Nathan Fillion for a long time you probably get the meta joke in casting
him is a Booster Gold villain one they need a bunch of ridiculous villains for
an early version of the team before the real team surfaces but for the longest
time people have been asking Nathan Fillion if he was ever going to play
Booster Gold in a DC movie going back years people fan casting him as Green
Lantern so this is just sort of James Gunn's joke in casting him is a really
ridiculous minor character riff on those other big theories that fans have had
for a long time
one of you saw Pete Davidson you're like why is Pete Davison in the Suicide Squad
this seems crazy he was a self-styled vigilante that tried to help people
initially but was terrible at it so he turned to a life of crime hacking
started working for the Russian mafia he became a birds-of-prey villain and then
eventually joined the Suicide Squad after he was captured but he has
genius-level intellect he's an expert at hand-to-hand combat he's really good
with computers I know you've all saw this crazy yellow costume and you're
like who the hell is this this is actually Flula Borg he's a former
YouTube comedian that's now been starring in movies and television shows
he's actually made it pretty big but because he's mostly known for doing
ridiculous comedy when people heard that he was cast in Suicide Squad they're
like wait a minute what is Flula gonna be doing in this movie he's playing a
character named javelin who's a former Olympic athlete who turned to a life of
crime he became a Green Lantern villain for a little while he doesn't really
have any special powers to speak of just really good at hand-to-hand combat
athletics throwing his javelin to people so he is a pretty ridiculous character
which will make more sense in a second when I explained it all I know you're
all wondering who Sean Gunn is going to be playing because clearly it's going to
be a motion-capture character he's actually playing a character wait for it
called weasel during all the Marvel movies he actually doubles as the
stand-in for rocket on screen when Bradley Cooper isn't around because they
need someone to actually be that character and run around on all fours
when they're walking around together in the comics he's capable of transforming
into a weasel which is weasel like claw animal-type powers nothing really crazy
he was part of the Black Lantern Corps for a little while because they killed
him off and then brought him back during blackest night the only real reason they
recruited him into the Suicide Squad in the comics is just because he was so
bloodthirsty and they felt like he would be good asset during a mission then you
all recognize Jai Courtney coming back as Captain Boomerang with a slightly
more tuned down version of his costume not quite as dirty as the version we saw
in the last Suicide Squad movie just confirming that this is continuing after
the events of the last film thought I'm walking out of here free man we're gonna
start having some real fun the other characters that aren't pictured here but
that they've confirmed are John Cena who's playing a character called
peacemaker I'll explain him in a second David -
Dastmalchian from the ant-man movies is playing polkadot man we don't know who
Taika Waititi is playing maybe another big motion capture character but King
shark is being played by Steve Agee at least that's what's being reported
they just did a big king shark vs. Grodd storyline last year on the flash it was
great
Danijela Melchior is playing a character called ratcatcher peter capaldi is still
a mystery character it would be awesome if he's playing mr. freeze but it'll
probably wind up being an obscure character just because that seems like
what James Gunn is going for with this new film picking the most ridiculous
most obscure characters possible with a few exceptions Idris Elba obviously not
in this picture but he's supposed to be playing vigilante he's the replacement
for Will Smith's Deadshot character originally the idea was is they would
just recast Deadshot because either Will Smith didn't want to come back or there
was a scheduling conflict then because the producers didn't want to slap Will
Smith in the face by recasting him they just picked a different character for
Idris Elba to play if you haven't watched any of arrow they actually
featured the vigilante character on that TV show for a couple seasons Joel
Kinnaman is coming back from the first film is Rick Flagg Margot Robbie is
coming back as Harley Quinn and I'll explain the timeline a little bit
because she's also going to be in birds-of-prey
early next year too then Amanda Waller from the last film is coming back so
that's already a lot of characters but you can kind of tell what's going on
most of you have probably figured it out why you have a bunch of actors here most
of whom are comedians like Pete Davison Flula Borg what are they doing on a
Suicide Squad team early prediction is probably because this is just the early
version of the team at the beginning of the movie that they kill off right away
in a big action scene then Amanda Waller goes and puts a more competent version
of the team together but then I know you're asking which characters are gonna
be on that second version of the team and will any of these ones from the
early ridiculous team survive so early prediction for the second version of the
team because we don't see a lot of characters in here second version is
rick flagg coming back Idris Elba's vigilante
because he seems like he'd be way more badass Idris Elba just isn't known for
playing incompetent characters and a lot of these people seem like they're gonna
wind up being pretty incompetent in the beginning of the film
maybe Taika Waititi's mystery character Harley Quinn obviously gonna be on the
second version of the team she'll survive
maybe Captain Boomerang survives maybe they'll kill him off because he was
pretty ridiculous in the first film but maybe James Gunn will try to redeem him
somehow through the script boomerangs a jewel thief
skeezy character and not really necessarily lockable and David really
wanted me to find my inner pretty much these words john cena's
peacemaker will probably be on that second version of the team just because
john cena typically plays really badass characters just because king shark is
such an awesome character he'll probably be on that second version of the team
Peter Capaldi might not be a member of The Suicide Squad he might just be
playing another character that works for Amanda Waller then maybe the ratcatcher
character just because they try to balance it in terms of number of women
number of men on the team they haven't said who the villains going to be but
this will take place after the events of the first Suicide Squad movie after the
events of Justice League and after the events of the birds of prey movie so
really easy way to explain why Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn isn't here for
this early version of the team because why wouldn't they just put her back on a
version of the Suicide Squad is because she's off in Gotham doing whatever she's
doing during birds-of-prey then probably gets thrown back in prison and given
another opportunity by Amanda Waller what they'll probably do in terms of
referencing the events of the first film is that Amanda Waller will have a couple
lines of dialogue poking fun at how terrible the original version of the
team was and how they barely survived by the skin of their teeth accomplishing
their goal of getting rid of the enchantress well they'll probably do for
characters like Will Smith's Deadshot who aren't coming back as they'll just
say they're off with their daughter or they're off doing some other mission but
I think the story concept for introducing this early incompetent
version of the team then killing them off right away is brilliant there's a
rumor right now that it's going to be rated R so it makes sense if you're
gonna have a big gory action scene where you kill all your characters off in the
first 15 minutes that it would be a rated R film for a little while there
were rumors that they were gonna try and use Black Adam as one of the villains
but then that went away in the Black Adam movie turned into something
different so there is a bunch of big DC movie stuff happening right now the
Joker movie just blew up I've already done a bunch of videos about that and
then on the TV shows they have crisis on Infinite Earths coming up which is
basically their big version of Avengers infinity war and Avengers end game with
all the TV characters so if you have any big questions about Suicide Squad or any
of the other big DC movies that are coming up or bonus videos you want to
request just let me know in the comments everybody click here to watch Joaquin
Phoenix talk about doing a joker movie sequel and click here for my Joker movie
ending video in Easter eggs thank you so much
for watching everybody put on a happy face I'll see you guys tonight!
