James Gunn Reveals 'Guardians Vol 3', 'The Suicide Squad' Won't Be Delayed
James Gunn has assured fans that despite the coronavirus pandemic, the release of his upcoming films Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 3 and The Suicide Squad
Filmmaker
James
Gunn
has
assured
fans
that
despite
the
coronavirus
pandemic
shutting
down
production
on
projects,
the
release
of
his
upcoming
films
Guardians
of
the
Galaxy:
Vol
3
and
The
Suicide
Squad
will
not
be
postponed.
The
director
is
helming
DC
Comics
film
The
Suicide
Squad,
the
reboot
to
David
Ayer's
2016
film.
The
film
is
scheduled
to
be
released
on
August
6,
2021.
In
a
Q&A
session
on
Twitter
Sunday,
Gunn
told
one
of
the
concerned
fans,
"Right
now
there's
no
reason
for
#TheSuicideSquad
release
date
to
move."
Saying
that
the
team
is
on
or
even
ahead
of
schedule,
the
director
said,
"We
were
extremely
fortunate
to
wrap
shooting
&
set
up
editing
from
our
homes
(due
to
a
post-production
team
&
studio
with
foresight)
before
quarantine."
Gunn
was
rehired
for
directing
the
third
part
of
GOTG,
the
arrival
of
which
he
said,
is
also
as
planned.
"Right
now
the
plans
with
Vol
3
are
also
exactly
the
same
as
they
were
before
coronavirus," he
told
another
user
who
enquired
about
the
status
of
the
threequel.
When
another
fan
asked
if
he
would
be
offering
any
official
first
looks
or
teaser
trailers
of
the
new
films,
Gunn
said,
unfortunately,
it
seemed
impossible.
"I
wish
we
were
but,
as
you
might
imagine,
although
editing
#TheSuicideSquad
has
been
pretty
smooth
in
the
time
of
quarantine
(I'm
working
on
the
cut
right
now),
there
are
a
lot
of
other
factors
slowed
-
some
of
those
related
to
releasing
images,
trailers,
etc," he
said.
