The Suicide Squad runtime has been locked in.

, director 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn revealed that DC’s latest movie will run fo🔯r two hours and 12 minutes (132 minutes).

Gunn added: "I wrote, filmed, and edited the best movie I could and it ended up at this length. No one ever planned for it to be this♑ long."

That runtime also factors in the staple of modern-day superhero cine♍ma: at least one post-credits scene.

While Gunn (obviously) didn’t reveal specifics of what will be incꦿluded after the credits have rolled, the director that there is one. The director said that, for him, however, "the movie itself is what matters most."

I know what you’re thinking – how does The Suicide Squad runtime compare to its DC peers? While it’s not quite touching the epic four-hour runtime of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Zack Snyder’s Justice League – an🌳d a longer runtime is not always an indication of quality – it&rs🍎quo;s interesting to see how it stacks up to other releases.

It’s shorter than 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Wonder Woman 1984 (151 minutes) and Aquaman (143 minutes), while it has the exact same runtime, interestingly enough, as Shazam! – also 132 minutes. 2016’s 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Suicide Squad, which director David Ayer claimed 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:was "ripped to pieces" by the🤪 studio, is only slightly shorter at 123 minutes.

James Gunn, meanwhile, has a busy future ahead of him. He’s 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:currently working on a🐎 Suicide Squad spinoff. The Peacemaker series, starring John Cena, is set for HBO Max &ndas൲h; and we wouldn’t bet against a Suicide Squad post-credits scene teasing the prequel TV show in some way, shape, or form.

The director, lest we forget, is also back in Marvel’s good books. The director once dep🏅arted Marvel Studios in controversial fasꦡhion, but is primed to helm Guardians of the Galaxy 3. The threequel, officially part of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Phase 4 and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:set for release on May 5, 2023, is likely to ꦜbe Jame🐼s Gunn’s last in the franchise.

The Suic🙈ide Squad is out in the UK on July 30 and in theaters and HBO Max simultaneously in the US on August 6.
