James Gunn on ‘The Suicide Squad’s’ Politics, Getting ‘Fired’ By Disney, and Why He Doesn’t Care About Streaming
“I haven’t really been fully up on it,” Gunn said. “I’ve only met Scarlett in passing. I think she’s a great person. And I really think she’s, uh, you know — I trust Scarlett.”
With actors you’ve worked with a lot, like Nathan Fillion and Michael Rooker , or ones you’re working with for the first time, like Pete Davidson — how did they respond to the idea that you’re going to kill them off in horrifying ways before the opening credits even roll? You were very clear very early with Warner Bros. what you wanted to do if you were going to direct this movie, especially that it had to be rated R. Was that in any way driven by the issues that David Ayer experienced directing the first “Suicide Squad” movie?
About the political stuff downstairs [in Grieves’ lab], you can see at the end of the movie, there’s a shot with where Amanda Waller is looking at all the footage they have that Bloodsport has sent them [of the Starro experiments], and one of the pieces of the footage is the old president of Corto Maltese and Ronald Reagan together. That used to be a little bit more prominent. I pulled it out simply because it seemed to be unnecessarily distracting to the central story.
He gets shot through the throat by Bloodsport at the end of the movie — clearly there were consequences to the choices he made, and it sounds like that part of the show is into reckoning with that? Later, when Harley goes on a rampage to escape her imprisonment, there’s this moment where the violence explodes into this gorgeous technicolor cartoon flowers and animals. How’d you arrive at that magical realism aesthetic for the film?
