The Suicide Squad: Every Actor Who Also Appeared In The MCU

1. Bonus: James Gunn

Although he's not an actor, James Gunn deserves an honourable mention on this list as the first director to make films for both the MCU and the DCEU.

Gunn does a stellar job with both the Guardians of the Galaxy films and The Suicide Squad. In both outings, he manages to blend violence and humour spectacularly, make audiences fall in love with CGI creatures, and cement obscure characters into the zeitgeist.

Marvel or DC: The Suicide Squad is a great film and showcases Gunn's talents perfectly. However, Gunn's work with Marvel on the Guardians of the Galaxy films surpasses his recent success. Despite its outer space setting and wackier characters, Guardians of the Galaxy handles its heartfelt moments with more grace than The Suicide Squad.

Fortunately, with the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and speculation that Gunn will return to DC, it seems as though he'll make more fun films for both comic book movie companies.
