Suicide Squad 2: 10 Big Reasons To Be Excited

10. A Fresh Start

Serving as a representative of what seems to be happening with the DCU, Suicide Squad 2 appears to be a soft reboot of the series. There are plenty of perks of getting to add onto an already-established continuity, particularly the option to avoid a bunch of forced introductions and set-up. However, if you're a new filmmaker with specific ideas in mind for a series, it's difficult to implement them in a continuity that already has established canon.

That said, one of the best components of Suicide Squad is its revolving door of characters that can always come and go at any given moment. With a new writer coming for the sequel, they can feel free to include whoever they want because that's the nature of the Squad: pick those who fit the job, not just those who were in the previous film.

This is a great opportunity for the screenwriter and director to craft their own distinct vision without compromising the previous film. The Suicide Squad that came before doesn't have to be copied and pasted in this second installment.
