According to an Instagram post by Suicide Squad writer-directed James Gunn, Sylvester Stallone has joined the second installation of the film.

“Always love working with my friend @officialslystallone & our work today on #TheSuicideSquad was no exception. Despite Sly being an iconic movie star, most people still don’t have any idea what an amazing actor this guy is,” he wrote. 

Stallone confirmed the casting himself by posting a video to Instagram letting fans know that he is on his way to go film a scene for the movie. 

“Working with this incredible Director on this astounding project has made this an amazing year. I am a very lucky man to be surrounded by such talent,” Stallone wrote.

It remains to be seen, however, just how involved Stallone is in the film as Gunn previously confirmed that filming concluded in February.

James Gunn recently took to Twitter and revealed all 24 actors set to star in his Suicide Squad reboot. 

The announcement confirms those set to return and reprise their roles in the new film — Margot Robbie will return as Harley Quinn, Viola Davis as Squad mastermind Amanda Waller, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, and Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag. 

They will be joined by more big names that include Pete Davidson, John Cena, Taika Waititi, Idris Elba, and Nathan Fillion. 

David Dastmalchian, Sean Gunn, Daniela Melchior, Joaquín Cosio, Flula Borg, Mayling Ng, Storm Reid, Steve Agee, Alice Braga, Peter Capaldi, Juan Diego Botto, Julio Ruiz, Tinashe Kajese, Jennifer Holland, and Michael Rooker round out the cast. 

Noticeably missing from the list, however, are Will Smith, Jared Leto, Cara Delevigne, Karen Fukuhara, and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje who all started in David Ayer’s 2016 Suicide Squad.

The Suicide Squad is set to be released August 6th, 2021.

In a move that has left us still struggling to lift our mouths off the floor, James Gunn has been rehired to helm the third chapter of Guardians of the Galaxy.

Gunn, who directed both volumes I and II, was publicly and unceremoniously fired last year after decade-old tweets that made light of rape and pedophilia were dug-up by alt-right journalists.

At the time of Gunn’s dismissal, the cast of Guardians signed a petition calling for his reinstatement, but neither Disney nor Marvel would budge on their decision.

Until now.

Deadline confirmed that Gunn has been brought back to write and direct volume 3 of the franchise, which has been delayed by several months.

It seems as though his continuous apologies and dignified behavior following the debacle is what prompted Disney to reverse its decree.

“I am always learning and will continue to work at being the best human being I can be,” the filmmaker said in his first tweet after the news broke.

The already heavily-delayed production is now set to be even more so as the studio has agreed to wait until Gunn wraps up his current project, Suicide Squad 2, but we’re happy to have him back onboard as we’re sure many others are too.

James Gunn will be writing the script for the next installment of the franchise for Warner Bros. and DC. Gunn is also in talks to direct the film.

Just a couple of months ago, the 52-year-old filmmaker was fired by Disney after a series of offensive tweets he had written years before resurfaced. The decade-old tweets made offensive jokes about race and pedophilia. Gunn, who directed the first two Guardians of the Galaxy movies had the support of almost the entire cast, however, Disney refused to go back on its decision to let the filmmaker go. Consequently, production on the upcoming Marvel sequel has been on hold indefinitely. 

“Regardless of how much time has passed, I understand and accept the business decisions taken today,” he wrote apologetically. “Even these many years later, I take full responsibility for the way I conducted myself then. All I can do now, beyond offering my sincere and heartfelt regret, is to be the best human being I can be: accepting, understanding, committed to equality, and far more thoughtful about my public statements and my obligations to our public discourse. To everyone inside my industry and beyond, I again offer my deepest apologies. Love to all.”

The first Suicide Squad told the story of a band of misfit and starred Margot Robbie, Will Smith, Joel Kinnaman, Jai Courtney, Jared Leto, and Cara Delevigne. The movie did not do well with the critics and made $746 million worldwide.

Dave Bautista is doubting his role as a guardian of the Galaxy as a result of an executive decision by Disney.

The studio fired director of Guardian of the Galaxy: Vol. 3 (and the previous two films in the franchise), James Gunn, in July as a result of tweets he made a decade ago that had resurfaced.

Despite the 51-year-old having apologized for the remarks, and cast members writing an open letter in support of him, Disney chose to hold by its decision.

Bautista, who plays Drax, appeared on The Jonathan Ross Show where he revealed that his future with the franchise is uncertain, telling the host, “It’s a bitter-bitter conversation because I’m not really happy with what they’ve done with James Gunn.”

As for where the project currently stands, the 49-year-old said, “They’re putting the movie off. It’s on hold indefinitely,” concluding with, “To be honest with you I don’t know if I want to work for Disney.”

The studio recently dismissed crew members who had shown up for pre-production, telling that they could look for other work.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the James Gunn helmed feature was supposed to begin principal photography in the winter, and the project was crewing up to go into full preproduction mode in the fall. But now the outlet reports that crew members are being assembled for preproduction have been dismissed and are free to look for new work.

James Gunn was fired by Disney from his post at Marvel following the unearthing of offensive tweets. 

“The offensive attitudes and statements discovered on James’ Twitter feed are indefensible and inconsistent with our studio’s values, and we have severed our business relationship with him,” Walt Disney Company Chairman Alan Horn said in a statement a couple of months ago.

Now that the company has “severed [its] business relationship” with Gunn, the third installment of the planned trilogy has been put on hold indefinitely. 

Even though Disney has never set a release date for the feature, sources added that “The timeline has been pushed out.”

The filmmaker has helmed both previous films in the Marvel franchise and was in the midst of writing the screenplay for the third installment.

Walt Disney Studios, which distributes the Guardians films, confirmed that Gunn had been fired after tweets he made in 2008 and 2009 regarding rape and pedophilia resurfaced.

At the time of the resurface, the 51-year-old said, “Many people who have followed my career know, when I started, I viewed myself as a provocateur, making movies and telling jokes that were outrageous and taboo. As I have discussed publicly many times, as I’ve developed as a person, so has my work and my humor.”
