As many fans are aware, James Gunn, the director of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1 and dealt with some controversy with Disney which ultimately ended in the director being able to also work for DC, bringing a new version of The Suicide Squad to fans, and adding many of his favorite actors to the ensemble in the process.

Gunn is known for bringing his friends along to his films, such as Michael Rooker, Nathan Fillion, and even his brother, Sean Gunn - all of which are cast in The Suicide Squad, a bit of knowledge fans can thank Gunn for after he released the full cast list earlier this month.

Now that production is underway, Gunn decided to share a photo of himself and some of the actors on the new set to his Twitter account. You can see Flula Borg, Daniella Melchior, David Dastmalchian, Nathan Fillion, Sean Gunn, and Mayling Ng along with the Director in the image below.

Written and directed by James Gunn, The Suicide Squad stars David Dastmalchian, John Cena, Jai Courtney, Joaquín Cosío, Nathan Fillion, Joel Kinnaman, Mayling Ng, Flula Borg, Sean Gunn, Juan Diego Botto, Storm Reid, Pete Davidson, Taika Waititi, Alice Braga, Steve Agee, Tinashe Kajese, Daniela Melchior, Peter Capaldi, Julio Ruiz, Jennifer Holland, Viola Davis, Idris Elba, Margot Robbie, and Michael Rooker.

so this was my comment earlier about the avengers video game i am baffled as to why they dont just make all comic book movies cgi lol

i dont get it, this cgi stuff is thousands of times better than real life, the cg chars dont demand millions upon millions of dollars of salary and they dont get hurt, i dont understand why people still want real life actors for movies...

@davidwiz - And instead of spending so much time and money animating it they could release just the storyboards, maybe at white circles with little directional arrows to show dialog, maybe thirty-ish "pages" per month in a small collection, it'd save them millions.

WB was crazy not to make a Suicide Squad sequel sooner. The film came out in 2016. We could've already had a sequel by now. Maybe the decision to replace Ayer slowed them down?

@Nightwing1015 - It seems like they were looking to revamp, but I guess waiting did them some good, because they snagged Gunn! I guess the second mouse really does get the cheese...

Gunn is losing altitude fast. I used to think he was creative but he is just regurgitating the same old stuff.
