Read our privacy policy Filmmaker James Gunn has explained how he decided which characters to kill off in the newly released comic adaptation The Suicide Squad. The film is a loose sequel to and reboot of 2016’s critically panned Suicide Squad, and follows a team of supervillains including Harley Quinn, Bloodsport, and Peacemaker. Many members of the Suicide Squad don’t make it out of the film alive, with writer-director Gunn willing to sacrifice characters in violent and gory ways in service to the story. “But I think it served the greater story of the film so that’s why it happens.” Since The Suicide Squad was released, some fans have complained about the film receiving a 15 age rating from the BBFC, questioning whether the film’s extreme violence should have warranted a harsher restriction.
