The Suicide Squad director James Gunn confirms the movie’s rating
The Suicide Squad won't be family-friendly fare

It’s official –𝐆 The Suicide Squad is getting an R rating.
When asked directly about the movie’s rating on Twitter, director 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn replied: “Yes it’s rated R.” This will make The Suicide Squad the second R-rated movie in the DCEU, after 2020’s Margot Robbie-fronted 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Birds of Prey.
Yes it’s rated R.
Although it’s been long speculated that the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:sort-of-sequel to 2016’s 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Suicide Squad would be rated R, it hadn’t been confirmed until Gunn’s tweet. And, after all, the same thing was said about the original movie, and that ended up with a PG-13 rating (a 12A in the UK). There isn’t a direct equivalent to an R rating🍰 in the UK, but movies with this classification are usually rated 15 across the pond.
We still don’t know that much about Gunn’s reboot-slash-sequel, but the director has previously confirmed that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:no character is safe, and not even Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn is guarantee🎶d to emerge unscathed. Alongside Robbie, returning cast members from the 2016 movie include Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, and Viola Davis as Amanda Waller. There’ll be some new faces too, including Idris Elba, John Cena, and Pete Davidson as Bloodsport🦹, Peacemaker, and Blackguard, respectively.
That’s not all – we’re getting a Suicide Squad spin-off TV show on HBO Max about Cena’s 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Peacemaker sometime soon, too. Also helmed by Gunn, he teased the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:start of filming back in November.
The Suicide Squad is set for release in cinemas and on HBO Max on August 6 2021. In the meantime, you can catch up on the rest of the DCEU with help from our guide to watching the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DC movies in order.
