Is James Gunn's The Suicide Squad a Sequel or a Reboot 
                     Is James Gunn's The Suicide Squad 
a Sequel or a Reboot? What We 
Know from the New Trailer
We keep seeing more of The Suicide 
Squad, but many fans are wondering 
about its status in the DCEU. Is The 
Suicide Squad a sequel or a reboot?
James Gunn is a director known for making films 
about an unlikely group of characters banding 
together to achieve a goal. He’s done it with movies 
such as Super and Guardians of the Galaxy so he 
seems like the perfect fit to help save the Suicide 
Squad franchise after its disastrous film debut.
Questions about where this new Suicide Squad movie 
falls have been on everyone’s minds. Is The Suicide 
Squad a sequel or a reboot? Or maybe something new 
entirely? Here’s everything you need to know about 
the upcoming R-rated DC movie.
Is The Suicide Squad a sequel or a reboot?
The Suicide Squad isn’t a reboot of the 2016 film in the 
way that many people might expect. It’s still working 
off of the same continuity that was established in 
Suicide Squad, but it’s “rebooting” the franchise to 
hopefully better set it up for success.
Peter Safran a DCEU producer said as reported by 
ScreenRant that Gunn’s The Suicide Squad is a “total 
reboot” and “not really a sequel” to the 2016 film. This 
plays into the upcoming film’s title as it’s not “Suicide Squad 
2” or anything that references the initial film’s existence. It 
seems like DC is trying its best to distance itself from David 
Ayer’s underwhelming film.
Understandably, many people are confused about the 
continuity, so let me clarify things: The Suicide Squad is not 
a direct continuation of the story from Suicide Squad, but it 
still has a handful of returning cast members including Viola 
Davis as Amanda Waller, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Jai 
Courtney as Captain Boomerang, and Joel Kinnaman as Rick 
Flag.
