Suicide Squad: 9 Major Implications For Future DC Movies
9. The Squad Are Back Where They Started, Nicely Placed For More
Despite this being a mission with a squad full of supposed bad guys, all of whom are at serious risk of dying at any moment - either from the threat they're facing, or the chips in their necks - the majority of the members end the movie right back where they started it: in their cells.
Sure, Slipknot dies (as the trailers pretty much gave away), and El Diablo sacrifices himself, but for the rest of them it's a return to business as usual, only with 10 years off their sentences and an added perk or two (Deadshot gets to see his daughter, Killer Croc has a TV).
While Harley Quinn may be broken out, the rest of them are still in Belle Reve, which leaves things wide open for a continuation. Sure, Waller failed here, but she's the kind of person who could conceivably try again, and with a cast of well-known names there's every chance of a sequel if the movie performs well enough at the box office, and more potential inmates they could always draft in.
