Director James Gunn has shared two new images from Warner Bros. The Suicide Squad has the film features in the latest issues of EW. We’ve also seen Gunn confirm the final runtime for the quasi-sequel to 2016’s Suicide Squad.
First up, with the film featuring in EW that means it’s time for some new images. Gunn shared two of these on Twitter including a new shot of Harley (Margot Robbie) and her crew walking in the rain. The second image comes from a moment we’ve witnessed in the trailers as Peacemaker (John Cena), Bloodsport (Idris Elba), Polka-Dot Man (David Dastmalchian) and Ratcatcher 2 (Daniela Melchior) stand in the jungle on Corto Maltese.
