a number of months ago, we reported that footage exposed the suicide Squad villain as Starro. It was an simple “called it” moment, provided that there was a dude in the background with a purple star on his face. However, even just the looks we got of Starro in the current suicide Squad are far a lot more terrific than we might have ever expected. The huge pink as well as blue (actually, it’s cerulean) starfish from area is so massive, its foot takes up an entire frame. however what led James Gunn to pick such a special villain in the very first place?

In a recent interview with Den of Geek, Gunn talked about his process for The suicide Squad. the most fascinating revelation was that before using him The suicide Squad, they pitched Superman. however Gunn wasn’t into that. However, instead of shrugging as well as parting ways, Warner Bros told him, “make whatever you want.” That is a hazardous thing to state to any type of innovative person, let alone somebody with a mind like James Gunn.

It’s not unusual that Gunn gravitated to the suicide Squad. He likes misfits – just look at The Guardians of the Galaxy. Gunn can take a group of losers, as Star-Lord phone calls the team, as well as turn them into heroes we love. however don’t expect to like as well lots of of them. After all, the poster says, “Don’t get as well attached.” however if that wasn’t enough, Warner Bros likewise provided him “carte blanche…to kill any type of character he wants.” We’ve all seen the excellent cast listing for The suicide Squad. There’s a great deal of D-list characters in this.
So, yeah, when the suicide goes up against the villain Starro, a lot of of them will most likely die. The only two characters we understand are safe, so far, are John Cena’s Peacemaker as well as Margo Robbie’s Harley Quinn. Peacemaker is getting his own HBO Max series spinning out of The suicide Squad…or so we’re led to believe. It might be a prequel. as well as Harley Quinn is just as well rewarding to kill.
Choosing Starro as the Villain for The suicide Squad Was an simple One

James Gunn likes all things weird. as well as when it pertains to DC villains, you can’t get weirder than Starro. Again, they’re gigantic starfish who can manage people’s minds. When Gardner Fox as well as Mike Sekowsky produced the character, they most likely took some psychedelics. Because, for a kids’ comic, Starro is horrifying.
As Gunn said:
“Starro is humorous since he’s ridiculous. He’s a giant, cerulean blue starfish, however he’s likewise f*cking terrifying. When I was a kid, I believed that was the scariest thing of all time… as well as I believe that exemplifies what this motion picture is: it is ridiculous, as well as it’s likewise terrifying, as well as serious. So he works truly well as the villain of the movie—as one of the villains, actually.”
Wait…one of the villains? Okay, so now we get to speculate around again!
Regardless, it’s a bit outstanding that Waller would put together a huge team of, as Gunn phone calls them, D-listers to fight the huge alien. however this really falls in location with the previous suicide Squad movie. The suicide team Waller selected to take down Enchantress, a villain with nearly equal power to Starro, is doubtful at best. Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, Harley Quinn, Katana, Rick Flagg, as well as killer Croc? Oh, as well as that rope dude who died early on? The Mayan goddess outmatched all of them. The only character who stood a possibility was Diablo. Yet that’s type of what makes the suicide Squad such a special team. They go on missions they shouldn’t be able to come back from, however they keep coming back.
The suicide Squad debuts in theaters as well as on HBO Max on August 6, 2021.
So, whichever suicide Squad members Starro leaves standing, we’ll absolutely see again, most likely battling Granny Goodness or some other scary yet absurd villain.
