THE SUICIDE SQUAD Director James Gunn Says "Almost All" Of The Characters Will Die

James Gunn recently suggested that a fan was being overly optimistic with his character death predictions for The Suicide Squad, and has now stated that "almost all" of Task Force X will buy the farm...

The Suicide Squad director James Gunn has previously suggested that all bets are off when it comes to which Task Force X members will kick the bucket in the movie, and recently indicated that a lot more than just a handful of the crew will be killed when he called one fan's character death predictions "overly optimistic to say the least."

It sounds like even that might have been an understatement!

When asked specifically how many characters were going to die during an Instagram Q&A, the filmmaker came right out and said "Almost all of them." Now, there's obviously a chance he's exaggerating here in an attempt to hype up the carnage fans can expect to see, but if Gunn is being on the level, we can probably expect no more than 2 or 3 of these guys to make it to the end credits.

Most assume Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) is safe, and Peacemaker (John Cena) has his own HBO Max series on the way (thought that might turn out to be a prequel), but beyond that? Like the tagline says, don't get too attached!

Be sure to share your own predictions with us in the comments, and you can find out what else Gunn discussed during the Q&A below.

@TheFireForce - Gunn probably suggested it, but Margot shut that down in seconds.

Knowing Gunn’s sense of humour, I would love the irony of that suicidal character from the trailer that hopes they all die is the only survivor.

If in theory the Flash movie is going to reset things, even Harley could be a viable choice to bite it, even though I don't expect it.

Again, unless you have the balls to kill Harley, NOBODY cares!

I can guarantee you that King Shark dies.

I bet Ratcatcher, Harley, and Peacemaker live. Gunn already announced there’s a second season of Peacemaker and while it could be a prequel series… it also would be easier and more freeing to write more seasons if it wasn’t so… yeah.

The rest are goners.

After the latest trailer I'm pulling for Bloodsport and Ratcatcher to make it. Nice dynamic they seem to be developing.

Even Quinn should die.

(if they're rebooting with Flashpoint, we could get a new Harley in a Matt Reeves sequel or spin-off. After we get a new Joker of course)

The only person who lives should be Polka Dot Man, because he's the only Skwaddy that doesn't want to live.

The smartest play would to kill off Harley. as that is one that no one would expect. I just hope King Shark makes it.

If you kill Harley, this will be the movie of the decade for me.

I’m not excited to see Harley die but I wouldnt be surprised if it happens just because everyone is so positive she’ll live.
