A few weeks ago, initial tracking for Suicide Squad suggested that the film was on course for a $125 million+ opening weekend. This would give it the highest August opening in history. Now, with the film hitting theaters this weekend, some updated tracking suggests that an even bigger debut is imminent. According to The Wrap, Suicide Squad is now on track to earn somewhere between $130 million and $140 million this weekend. It could even beat Finding Dory‘s $135 million debut, which would give the DC movie the third highest opening weekend of the year. But in the possibility that Suicide Squad does not pass Dory, then it’ll have to…

Jared Leto’s Joker makes his debut in Suicide Squad, which finally hits theaters next Friday. Afterwards, the Clown Prince of Crime is expected to pop up again in the DC Extended Universe. Leto presumably signed a multi-picture contract, which is what caused Ryan Gosling to turn this role down. Now, the Oscar winner weighs in on his future as The Joker. Speaking with Toronto Sun, Leto expresses interest in playing Joker again. He hopes that Suicide Squad will serve as an introduction to the character. “…I could easily just play the Joker a couple more times and then retire. Because it’s so fulfilling and so creative and it’s so imaginative.…

In addition to a planned sequel, there has been talk of spin-offs from DC Films’ Suicide Squad. Writer-director David Ayer says there’s plenty of potential for “zillions” of other movies spawning from this one. Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn is expected to star in a female ensemble film, while spin-offs for Joker and Boomerang are rumored to be considered. Obviously, all of this depends on whether the first movie is a box office hit. Suicide Squad introduces many new villains into the DC Extended Universe, and assuming the film does succeed, audiences will want to see more of them. One way that can be accomplished is by giving some characters their…

David Ayer and the cast of Suicide Squad held a Q&A session on Twitter today. During Ayer’s turn, the writer-director was asked if there was a character he had considered for the film, but ultimately dropped. Turns out he considered a pretty big addition. Ayer reveals that King Shark was considered for the Suicide Squad team. However, he explains that bringing the character to life would have required plenty of CG work, and he didn’t feel comfortable with creating a fully CG character. Thus, Killer Croc was added instead. .@diablosantanas #askthesquad pic.twitter.com/pORnCzYpjH — David Ayer (@DavidAyerMovies) July 29, 2016 King Shark is a frequent member of the Suicide Squad in…

Recently, it has become a popular trend for superhero movies to have an additional scene during or after the credits. Marvel Studios does it in every film, while the X-Men franchise began to do it a few years ago. However, DC Films’ Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice did not have an after- or mid-credits scene. Green Lantern did, and we all know how that went. But that’s finally about to change with Suicide Squad next week. Comic Book has confirmed that Suicide Squad will have an extra scene in the middle of the credits. The scene is described as “pivotal and important.” No further details…

Suicide Squad is only one week from release, but there are already talks of a potential sequel. A few months ago, it was reported that Warner Bros. is lining up writer-director David Ayer and star Will Smith to return for Suicide Squad 2, with plans to begin production next year. So, it is likely one of the two untitled 2018/2019 films recently dated by WB. Additionally, Ayer expressed interest in making the sequel with an R rating. Over the years, many DC Comics characters have served as members of the Suicide Squad. And given the very concept of the group, we can expect at least a couple casualties in the…

Now that Supergirl has moved from CBS to The CW, it’s easier to cross over with the latter network’s DC shows. The CW previously confirmed that Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow will have an epic crossover event this fall. It is expected to be told in three episodes of Flash, Arrow and Legends. So, how will Supergirl fit in? Marc Guggenheim spoke with /Film about the big crossover, hinting at how Kara Zor-El will meet the other heroes. “It’s an external threat from outside the shows that will involve Supergirl coming over to Flash, then Arrow then Legends of Tomorrow.” Of course, it’s unknown who, or what,…
