8 Teased Movies That Will ONLY Happen If Upcoming Movies Succeed

7. The Suicide Squad Could Lead To More Solo Spinoffs

Whenever a new comic-book movie is coming out, there are always going to be questions about possible sequels, spinoffs, and other franchise expansions, and James Gunn's The Suicide Squad is no different.

In fact, this movie has already been expanded, with an HBO Max TV series centred around John Cena's character, Peacemaker, currently in production, with a January 2022 airdate in mind. But if the film itself is a success? Then Peacemaker won't be the only member of the team who gets their own spinoff.

That's because Gunn - who wrote and directed the movie, and is spearheading the Peacemaker series - has even more spinoffs in mind, which, presumably, will see him branch off with individual characters, just like he's doing with Peacemaker.

Gunn revealed this information in a short Twitter exchange with a fan, and while he doesn't discuss specifics, you have to imagine that Warner Bros will greenlight anything he puts forward, as long as The Suicide Squad is a big hit.

Gunn has already been given a lot of creative freedom, and considering how well he's handled Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy movies, it seems like he can do no wrong.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
