The new movie has nothing to do with the previous one. The producer said that "Suicide Squad 2" is a new reboot

This Friday, DC officially announced that James Gunn, the director of "Guardians of the Galaxy 3", will direct the new DC movie "Suicide Squad 2", and producer Peter Safran said that "Suicide Squad 2" is not a sequel to "Suicide Squad", but a completely rebooted new work.

Producer Peter Safran said in the announcement: "First of all, the reason why we don't call the new movie "Suicide Squad 2" is because this movie will be a complete reboot, and fans should be very excited about it." In addition, the producer also said that James Gunn will write a new script for the movie, and DC will release more relevant information about the movie in the future. It is reported that the new "Suicide Squad" will incorporate more of James Gunn's personal style, and the new movie will use an almost completely new cast. Idris Elba will replace Will Smith in this movie, but Margot Robbie will continue to star in this movie.

The reboot of "Suicide Squad" is expected to be released on August 6, 2021. Fans of the DC universe may wish to look forward to this new work.
