The Suicide Squad James Gunn
James Gunn's The Suicide Squad is hitting
theatres and HBO Max in August, but it's not the
director's first foray into the world of comic
book movies. Gunn is best known for helming
Guardians of the Galaxy and Guardians of the
Galaxy Vol. 2 for Marvel. Many fans have been
curious to see if the films will be similar
considering they're both about comic book teams,
but considering The Suicide Squad's rating, the
DC movie is expected to be a heck of a lot
bloodier than any MCU film. During a recent
interview with Den of Geek, Gunn compared the two
teams.

"I think you know from the beginning of the first
Guardians that most likely, in his heart, Peter
Quill is good, Gamora is good, Rocket is good,
Drax is good," Gunn explained. He added about The
Suicide Squad, "some are not good people. Theyre
bad people. Its less sentimental in that way.
King Shark is much less sentimental than
Groot. Speaking of being sentimental, Gunn has
definitely made it clear that you don't want to
get too attached to all of The Suicide Squad
members. In fact, he recently joked about an
"overly optimistic" death doll he saw online.

"The first thing I had to do was ignore the
potential blowback from killing a character,"
Gunn told Den of Geek. "Im just the servant of
the story, so whatever the story says is what Im
going to do, no matter what the repercussions are
for anything. I believe in the truth of the
story. I believe that there was a story out there
that needed to be told that I dont have any
control over. The Suicide Squad's cast includes
Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Robbie as Harley
Quinn, Idris Elba as Bloodsport, Jai Courtney as
Captain Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flagg,
