After Disney fired James Gunn from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 after right-wing pundits unearthed offensive tweets the filmmaker posted years ago, the director was tapped to helm a new Suicide Squad film for Warner Bros. and DC. While Sean Gunn will soon reprise his on-set role as Rocket Raccoon in Avengers: Endgame and the third Guardians of the Galaxy, the actor noted that he would be willing to appear in James Gunn’s new take on the Suicide Squad, but added that his brother will only ask if there is a proper role for him:
“It’s interesting to me as an artist. It’s even more interesting as a brother. My brother and I have worked together in many capacities, since we were kids. If he wants me to do something, I will do it. But one of the things I respect most about him is that he’s a storyteller first and foremost, so he’s not going to try to cram me in there if I don’t belong. If he has a part for me, I’d be happy to go do it, but we also have our separate careers and I’m doing my own thing as well, so we’ll just see what happens there.”

he first Suicide Squad followed a team of supervillains who were recruited by the government for a dangerous black ops mission in exchange for reduced sentences. The ensemble cast included Will Smith as Deadshot, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and Jared Leto as The Joker. James Gunn is expected to deliver on the new take on the supervillain team with his upcoming movie.
The Suicide Squad is one of many projects currently being developed by Warner Bros. and DC. The list also includes The Batman, The Flash, Green Lantern Corps, Birds of Prey, Black Adam, Nightwing, Supergirl and New Gods.
