Supervillains Harley Quinn, Bloodsport, Peacemaker and a collection of nutty cons at Belle Reve prison join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X as they are dropped off at the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese.
What's left behind the scenes
- James Gunn primarily used practical effects. He himself stated that he enjoyed this after working on the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' franchise, which featured a lot of computer graphics.
- According to director and screenwriter James Gunn, the largest sets in Warner Bros. history were built for the film.
- Director James Gunn compared the relationship between Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) and Bloodsport (Idris Elba) to the comedic duo of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello.
- Director James Gunn said that each member of the squad was inspired by different genres of cinema. Thus, Bloodsport, played by Idris Elba, is based on heroes of 1960s action films, particularly characters like Steve McQueen.
- Idris Elba was originally supposed to replace Will Smith in the role of Deadshot, but the character was changed to Bloodsport to allow Smith to return to the character in the future.
- Director and screenwriter James Gunn considers Polka-Dot Man (played by David Dastmalchian) one of the most absurd characters in DC Comics, and therefore intentionally chose him for the film to try to turn a silly villain into a deep, tragic character.
- James Gunn specifically filmed with lesser-known villains, as he believed it better captured the spirit and atmosphere of John Ostrander's comics. Here's how he explained it: “I wanted to showcase second-tier villains, just like in the original comics. There’s something tragic about supervillains who haven’t even achieved much success in villainy.”
- An error was made in the domestic localization; the correct way to write it is “Mission to Die.”
- According to John Cena, James Gunn asked him not to read the Peacemaker comics before filming. As a result, Cena began playing the role in the style of a hard sergeant from the film “Full Metal Jacket,” but Gunn soon told him to play a more playful, arrogant, and familiar version of Captain America from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
- Director and screenwriter James Gunn said that the resulting image of Peacemaker (played by John Cena) reminded him of characters from comic book adaptations of the 1970s, such as “Wonder Woman” and “Captain America.”
- Director and screenwriter James Gunn removed the “Rotten” tattoo from Harley Quinn’s (Margot Robbie) face in this film, which had been visible in previous films of the DC Extended Universe, because neither he nor Robbie liked it.
