The Suicide Squad is a 2021 American superhero film based on the DC Comics team Suicide Squad. Produced by DC Films, Atlas Entertainment, and The Safran Company, and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, it is a standalone sequel to Suicide Squad (2016) and the 10th film in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). It was written and directed by James Gunn and stars an ensemble cast including Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, John Cena, Joel Kinnaman, Sylvester Stallone, Viola Davis, David Dastmalchian, Daniela Melchior, Michael Rooker, Jai Courtney, Peter Capaldi, Alice Braga, and Pete Davidson. In the film, several convicts join a task force known as the "Suicide Squad" in exchange for lighter sentences. They are sent to the South American island nation of Corto Maltese to destroy all traces of the giant alien starfish Starro the Conqueror before it falls into the local government's control. David Ayer was set to return as director for a Suicide Squad sequel by March 2016, but in December he chose to work on other projects. Warner Bros. considered several replacements before hiring Gavin O'Connor in September 2017. He left due to creative differences, and Gunn was hired in October 2018 to write and direct the film after being temporarily fired by Disney and Marvel Studios as director of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023). He drew inspiration from war films and John Ostrander's 1980s Suicide Squad comics, and explored new characters in a story separate from the first film's narrative though some cast members do return from Suicide Squad. Filming took place from September 2019 to February 2020, primarily in Atlanta, Georgia, as well as in Colón, Panama, and Porto, Portugal. The film had the biggest sets ever built for a Warner Bros. production. The Suicide Squad premiered theatrically in the United Kingdom on July 30, 2021. It was released in the United States on August 5, simultaneously in theaters and on the streaming service HBO Max. The film received positive reviews from critics, who praised the performances, action sequences, Gunn's writing, direction, and visual style, with many deeming it a significant improvement over its predecessor. The film became the most-streamed DCEU film on HBO Max, but underperformed at the box office and only grossed $168.7 million worldwide against a production budget of $185 million, which was attributed to factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the film's availability on HBO Max, and its relationship to the first Suicide Squad. Peacemaker, a spin-off television series starring Cena, debuted on HBO Max in January 2022. Two other spin-off series are in development for HBO Max.

Plot
Intelligence officer Amanda Waller assembles two Task Force X teams, colloquially known as the "Suicide Squad", which comprise Belle Reve penitentiary inmates who agree to carry out a mission in exchange for shortened sentences. Sent to the South American island nation of Corto Maltese after its government is overthrown by an anti-American regime, the teams are tasked with destroying the Nazi-era laboratory Jötunheim, which houses the secret experiment "Project Starfish". One team is almost entirely wiped out by the Corto Maltese military upon landing, with only team leader Colonel Rick Flag and Harley Quinn surviving. The ambush on the first team serves as a diversion, allowing the second team to enter the country undetected. Led by assassin Bloodsport, the surviving team consists of Peacemaker, King Shark, Polka-Dot Man, and Ratcatcher 2. Waller orders the squad to find Flag, who escaped from the military but was captured by rebel soldiers. The team find the rebel base and massacre the soldiers, only to learn that Flag had been saved by rebellion leader Sol Soria. Despite the group's actions, Soria agrees to help them infiltrate the capital where they capture Project Starfish's lead scientist, the Thinker. Harley is captured by the Corto Maltese government and taken to the new dictator, Silvio Luna, who wishes to marry her. After learning of Luna's plans to use Project Starfish, Harley kills him and escapes. She joins the others, who use the Thinker to break into Jötunheim and begin rigging it with explosives. Flag and Ratcatcher 2 enter the Project Starfish laboratory with the Thinker and find Starro the Conqueror, a giant starfish-like alien that creates smaller versions of itself to kill people and control their bodies. The Thinker explains that Starro was brought to Earth by the U.S. government, which has secretly funded the experiments for decades using Corto Maltese citizens as test subjects. An enraged Flag decides to leak a hard drive containing evidence of this, but is killed by Peacemaker, who is under orders from Waller to cover-up the U.S.'s involvement. Meanwhile, a skirmish between the rest of the team and the military leads to Polka-Dot Man accidentally setting off the explosives prematurely. As Jötunheim crumbles, the drive falls into Ratcatcher 2's possession. Peacemaker attempts to execute her for knowing the truth about Starro, but Bloodsport shoots him and takes the drive. Starro escapes the destroyed Jötunheim, kills the Thinker and much of the military, and begins taking control of the island's population. Waller tells the squad that their mission is complete and orders them to leave, but Bloodsport decides to lead the team in fighting Starro; Waller attempts to execute them for this, but her subordinates knock her out. Starro kills Polka-Dot Man, Harley pierces a hole in its eye, and Ratcatcher 2 summons the city's rats to chew Starro to death from the inside. With the military diverted, Soria takes control of the government and pledges democratic elections. Bloodsport forces Waller to release him and the surviving squad members in exchange for keeping the contents of the drive confidential, and they are airlifted out of Corto Maltese. In a mid-credits scene, it is revealed that Weasel, one of the first team’s members who was believed to be dead while drowning at the shore, is still alive, having survived drowning. In a post-credits scene, Waller punishes her subordinates by assigning them to a new mission with Peacemaker, who is recovering in a hospital.


剧情
天眼局主管阿曼达·沃勒来到美梦监狱召集多名极度危险的超级罪犯,迅速组成X特遣队、俗称“自殺突擊隊”的两组不同小队,以黑色行动形式为美国政府执行高风险任务来换取减刑。两组队伍分头潜入南美洲岛国科托马耳他,其政府近期受反美武装势力推翻,任务则是摧毁纳粹时期建立的地下实验室“约顿海姆”,该处由科托马耳他政府长期进行名为“海星计划”的秘密实验。第一小队登陆时遭受政府军伏击而几近全军覆没,只有队长瑞克·佛莱格与哈莉·奎茵侥幸生还。而第一小队的受袭成功达到声东击西的目的,在另一边登陆的第二小队得以高枕无忧地潜入岛国。第二小队由精英佣兵血腥运动所带领,队员包括和平使者、鲨鱼王、波尔卡圆点人与捕鼠人2。小队休息一晚后受令营救被当地反叛军俘虏的佛莱格,联手血洗反叛军营地后却发现佛莱格已和反叛军首领索儿·索里亚达成共识,其答应协助特遣队、提供车辆与忠诚司机帮他们潜入首都区。哈莉在海边被俘后带至总统府会见新一任独裁者席维奥·卢纳,被哈莉的美貌与事迹所倾倒的卢纳希望能嫁给她,向她透露自己计划启用约顿海姆实验室与海星计划作为惩戒政治异议人士的监狱。获得情报的哈莉直接杀死卢纳,随后一度被卢纳的副手马泰奥·苏亚雷斯抓去实施电刑,但很快挣脱囚牢而一人屠光所有守卫逃跑。佛莱格一行人事先抓获海星计划的研究主管思考者,随后接上逃出总统府的哈莉后集体直奔约顿海姆塔楼,靠思考者开车通过门卫,开始四处安置炸弹来摧毁整座实验室。队伍安置炸弹期间,佛莱格和捕鼠人2陪同思考者进入地下实验室,发现海星计划源自一只实属外星生物的巨型海星“斯塔罗”,其能够靠小型分身附着在人体脸上藉以操纵死去的遗体。思考者揭露斯塔罗起初由美国宇航员在太空中发现后带至地球,再由美国政府与科托马耳他达成秘密协议之下移送至约顿海姆进行三十年的研究,甚至将当地大部分政治异议人士及无辜市民抓来做实验对象。恼羞成怒的佛莱格取出装有海星计划详细资料的硬盘,意图将美国政府的肮脏秘密公诸于世,然而受到实属华勒间谍的和平使者阻挡,其以“维护和平”为优先而决定阻止计划内幕外流出去以避免酿成国际事故。哈莉、血腥运动、鲨鱼王和波尔卡圆点人在楼上办公区与卫兵激战,而波尔卡圆点人意外提前引爆炸弹导致塔楼崩塌。佛莱格与和平使者为各自的理念而大打出手,最后和平使者杀死佛莱格,其临死之际嘲讽他维护和平的名号是“天大的笑话”。没有就此罢手的和平使者紧接着追杀抢走硬盘的捕鼠人2,即将对她进行灭口之际,刚好随着崩塌坠落至底层的血腥运动出手救下她,开枪击倒和平使者而得到硬盘。斯塔罗趁乱破坏地下室而将思考者大卸八块,随即逃出生天、释出大量小型分身掌控苏亚雷斯等政府军以及周遭的市民。完成任务的特遣队受令撤退,但无法坐视不管的血腥运动带领队伍,集体视死如归般的走向城市对付斯塔罗。指挥室中的华勒无法劝回队伍,狂怒之下威胁要引爆队伍脖子中的纳米炸弹,却被自己身边的一名助手击昏,而其他助手则一致决定继续协助特遣队。特遣队对抗斯塔罗的战斗中一筹莫展,波尔卡圆点人成功炸断斯塔罗一条腿后不幸被踩死。直到捕鼠人2靠仪器召唤全市的老鼠群体攻击斯塔罗,以及哈莉手持标枪刺穿其眼部,使斯塔罗在大量老鼠爬入体内啃食内脏之下不敌而死。索里亚率领反叛军攻下总统府,杀死所有腐败军阀夺下领导权,决定从此对岛国进行民主改革。血腥运动靠硬盘证据敲诈华勒,必须无条件释放自己与其他人且从此不准再来伤害他们,特遣队最后集体搭乘直升机迎向自由。在片尾彩蛋中,华勒的两名助手因之前的抗命而受到“相应惩处”,前去探望幸存且送回美国医院静养的和平使者,准备等他康复后一同执行新的任务。


Cast and Character 演员阵容与角色 

Margot Robbie as Dr. Harleen Quinzel / Harley Quinn
A crazed criminal and former psychiatrist. Robbie said the film would show a new side of the character compared to her previous DC Extended Universe (DCEU) appearances due to her being in a new place and surrounded by new characters. Despite inheriting this version of Harley from previous films, writer/director James Gunn loved the character and felt very comfortable writing for her. He wanted her to be "the most Harley of all Harleys" depicted on film, including making "healthy" choices, following her toxic relationship with the Joker, that other people would find insane. He likened Harley's relationship with Bloodsport to the comedy duo Abbott and Costello, with Harley being Costello.


Idris Elba as Robert DuBois / Bloodsport
A mercenary with a technologically advanced suit that he can use to create different gadgets and transforming weaponry (an adaptation of the comic book character's ability to manifest weapons). After being convicted of shooting Superman with a Kryptonite bullet, Bloodsport shortens his prison sentence by joining Task Force X so he can help his daughter Tyla. Gunn said each member of the Suicide Squad in the film was inspired by a different film genre, and described Bloodsport as an unsentimental portrayal of a 1960s action hero like Steve McQueen, without their "moral repercussions". The character's story in the film takes him from a "toxic asshole to a true leader".

John Cena as Christopher Smith / Peacemaker
A ruthless, jingoistic killer who believes in achieving peace at any cost. Gunn told Cena not to read any Peacemaker comics before filming, and Cena originally approached the role with an "angular, drill sergeant, Full Metal Jacket-Esque personality" before Gunn told him to act like a "douchey, bro-y Captain America" who could have appeared in a 1970s television series like Wonder Woman. The character does not get as much exploration or development as the other members of the Suicide Squad, which is one of the reasons that Gunn decided to create the spin-off television series Peacemaker despite his originally intending for the character's apparent death in the film to be permanent.


Joel Kinnaman as Colonel Rick Flag
The field leader of the Suicide Squad. Gunn said Flag was the character that changed the most compared to the first Suicide Squad (2016), with Kinnaman describing this version as sillier, less jaded, more naive, and funnier. Gunn said Kinnaman was not used to comedic acting but "quickly showed a talent and an affinity" for it. Flag begins the film on the Suicide Squad team that Amanda Waller sends as a decoy, and a deleted scene would have explained that she did this because he made fun of an ugly shirt she was wearing. Gunn said Flag has grown sick of being taken advantage of and doing bad things, which leads to him disobeying Waller and being killed by Peacemaker.



Sylvester Stallone as the voice of Nanaue / King Shark
A man-eating shark-human hybrid, created with visual effects. Steve Agee, a longtime friend of Gunn's, developed King Shark's portrayal on set. He was chosen partly because he is 6 feet 7 inches (2.01 m), and wore a wireframe version of a shark head as well as a body suit to further approximate the character's size and shape. Gunn wanted the underlying story for King Shark to explore his loneliness as someone who wants to be part of the world and connect with other people but is not able to due to his appearance. This is seen in moments where he pretends to read or looks longingly out a window at a couple who are together.

Viola Davis as Amanda Waller
The director of A.R.G.U.S. runs the Task Force X program. Gunn said Waller, along with the U.S. government, is the true villain of the film, which explores the different reactions that the Suicide Squad have to her asking them to cover up illegal experiments in Corto Maltese. He added that there was "no better Amanda Waller" than Davis, and said she was "incredibly intimidating" when portraying the character.



David Dastmalchian as Abner Krill / Polka-Dot Man
An "experiment gone wrong" in a suit covered with polka dots. Gunn described Polka-Dot Man as "the dumbest DC character of all time" whom he hoped to turn into a tragic character, with the film's version being infected with an interdimensional virus by his mother in an attempt to turn him into a superhero. The virus develops into colorful balls of acid under Krill's skin that causes him pain unless he expels them as polka-dot weapons or vomits them up. Unbeknownst to Gunn, Dastmalchian felt a personal connection to the character because he has the skin condition vitiligo, for which he was bullied as a child and called "polka dots".



Daniela Melchior as Cleo Cazo / Ratcatcher 2
A thief who inherited the mantle of "Ratcatcher" from her father, along with equipment that allows her to control rats and communicate with them. Gunn described her as the "heart of the film", and noted that she is different from the other characters because she had her father's love growing up whereas the other characters had problematic relationships with their parents. Gunn explained that the moment where Ratcatcher 2 covers Bloodsport to protect him from the rats at the end of the film signifies her being able to share her father's love with him, which is why the moment is intercut with a flashback of her sitting with her father.


Michael Rooker as Brian Durlin / Savant
A hand-to-hand combat and weapons expert. He is killed in the opening scene when Waller detonates a bomb in his head for deserting the mission.

Jai Courtney as Digger Harkness / Captain Boomerang
An unhinged Australian thief who wields boomerangs. Courtney said the character was "the same shitbag liability" he was in the first film.


Peter Capaldi as Gaius Grieves / The Thinker
The lead scientist of Project Starfish, who has been experimenting on Starro the Conqueror on behalf of the U.S. government.

Alice Braga as Sol Soria
The leader of a rebel faction on Corto Maltese who aligns herself with the Suicide Squad.

Pete Davidson as Richard "Dick" Hertz / Blackguard
an easily manipulated mercenary. He betrays the first Suicide Squad team to the Corto Maltese military, who then kill him.

Nathan Fillion as Cory Pitzner / T.D.K. (The Detachable Kid)
A metahuman who can detach his arms from his body

Flula Borg as Gunter Braun / Javelin
A former Olympic athlete who wields javelins as weapons

Mayling Ng as Mongal
An alien mass murderer

Sean Gunn as Weasel
An anthropomorphic weasel whose portrayal is based on Bill the Cat from the comic strip Bloom County. James Gunn said Weasel was "barely more than an animal" which raised some ethical questions about his involvement in the squad.

Taika Waititi as Ratcatcher 2's father, the original Ratcatcher.


Juan Diego Botto as Silvio Luna
The dictator of Corto Maltese who tries to woo Harley Quinn;


Joaquín Cosío as Mateo Suárez
The Major General of Corto Maltese

Julio Ruiz as Milton, an associate of Task Force X

Lynne Ashe as Polka-Dot Man's mother

Starro the Conqueror
Starro is a highly advanced alien life-form resembling a giant starfish with a single central eye and prehensile extremities. The entity visits Earth and empowers three starfish; the creatures begin wreaking havoc, such as exploding an atomic bomb and absorbing its energy, kidnapping scientists and absorbing their brain power, and placing the residents of the fictional town of Happy Harbor, Rhode Island under mental control. Eventually, they are stopped by the superheroes Aquaman, the Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, and Wonder Woman. The heroes defeat Starro by coating it with quicklime, which nullifies the entity's abilities.
A segment of Starro survives and regenerates into a complete creature; however, it is stopped by Aquaman before being able to renew its plan of conquest.
