James Gunn Shares BTS Christmas Photo From ‘The Suicide Squad’

James Gunn has shared a new behind-the-scenes photo of The Suicide Squad in time for the holidays.

While it’s not a look at the set of the film or any of the costumes, it is a look at how the cast and crew celebrate a successful period of filming in time for the end of the year. Hanging out at David Dastmalchian’s house after filming is mostly complete, the crew of The Suicide Squad decided to decorate a gingerbread house with action figures of the movie’s major characters.

James Gunn recently indicated that filming The Suicide Squad is two-thirds of the way complete, and as such, the remaining portion of the movie should wrap up very early next year. As it stands, the sequel is shaping up to take the franchise in a radically different direction, and one that may be quite welcome as DC Films continues to deliver a diverse set of movies.

David Ayer’s Suicide Squad movie followed a team of supervillains who were recruited by the government for a dangerous black ops mission in exchange for reduced sentences. The sequel will see the return of four cast members from that film: Robbie as Harley Quinn, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, and Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag.

James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad is expected to deliver a new take on the titular supervillain team, with Idris Elba playing a new character on the team, David Dastmalchian starring as Polka-Dot Man, Daniela Melchior as Ratcatcher, and Steve Agee voicing King Shark. Other cast members confirmed for the ensemble picture include John Cena, Storm Reid, Flula Borg, Nathan Fillion, Taika Waititi, Peter Capaldi, Michael Rooker, Sean Gunn, Mayling Ng, Jennifer Holland, Pete Davidson, Juan Diego Botto, Alice Braga, Tinashe Kajese, Julio Ruiz, and Joaquín Cosío.

The Suicide Squad opens in theaters on August 6, 2021.
