Director James Gunn revealed earlier tonight that filming on Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment's The Suicide Squad has finally wrapped, which means the wait for August 6, 2021 has officially begun and boy, oh boy, is it going to be a long wait. 

While plot details are virtually nonexistent, Gunn did previously reveal the film's massive star cast, which will feature the likes of Idria Elba (Avengers: Infinity War), Margot Robbie (Birds of Prey), Viola Davis (Fences), Joel Kinnaman (Suicide Squad), Jai Courtney (Suicide Squad), John Cena (F9), David Dastmalchian (Ant-Man and the Wasp), Nathan Fillion (The Rookie), Pete Davidson (Saturday Night Live), Sean Gunn (Avengers: Endgame), Michael Rooker (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2) and Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok), amongst others. 

With filming done, there is always a possibility the film may ultimately be moved up, but considering scheduled reshoots and the recent box office underperformance of Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), the studio may opt to keep some distance between the two projects. 

As for Gunn, after wrapping The Suicide Squad, it's likely he'll be pulling double duty soon enough as he'll essentially have to concurrently work on post-production for this film at WB while also working on pre-production for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 at Marvel Studios, with that film expected to commence principal photography by the end of this current calendar year or early next.
