James Gunn Says GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY 3 and THE SUICIDE SQUAD Will Be Released as Planned
Director James Gunn has confirmed on Twitter that, as of now, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Vol. 3 and The Suicide Squad, will not be delayed due to the current health crisis.
Gunn revealed this while taking part in a fan Q&A on Twitter. The new Suicide Squad film is set to be released on August 6, 2021, and GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY does not yet have a release date.
"We are on or ahead of schedule," Gunn said of The Suicide Squad film. "We were extremely fortunate to wrap shooting & set up editing from our homes."
Right now there's no reason for #TheSuicideSquad release date to move. We are on or ahead of schedule. We were extremely fortunate to wrap shooting & set up editing from our homes (due to a post production team & studio with foresight) before quarantine. https://t.co/URRFXX58r3
