James Gunn Gets an Awesome Gift as The Suicide Squad Begins Production


James Gunn's The Suicide Squad is one of the more exciting DC movies coming out in 2021, with many of us excited to see what the Guardians of the Galaxy director has in store for the DC universe. It looks like Gunn is wasting no time to start the film since the director has confirmed that production is underway and he got a neat gift to celebrate the occasion, which will make a lot of hardcore collectors jealous.

As fans can see below, Gunn was gifted with a copy of Brave and the Bold #25, which is the very first appearance of, well, The Suicide Squad. However, this isn't the group that resembles what most fans recognize since this is a group of soldiers, rather than a bunch of selfish villains who have to do the government's bidding.

Still, we probably wouldn't have the supervillain group if it weren't for this comic book so fans should be grateful. The fact that Gunn now has his own copy is awesome and probably means a lot to the director since he is a comic book fan, even listing the acclaimed John Ostrander run as a big influence on the film.

Coming from someone who thought that David Ayer's Suicide Squad was a decent film, at least until I thought about it a lot, I have high hopes for James Gunn's The Suicide Squad. If this post proves anything, it's that he's a fan and we're going to get that faithful adaptation we've always wanted.

The Suicide Squad comes out on August 6, 2021.
