— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) September 3, 2021The standalone sequel to David Ayer's 2016 Suicide Squad was originally scheduled for a release date of Aug. 6 but landed a day early just for fun.
Will The Suicide Squad be on HBO Max again?
Yes. Once it disappears from HBO Max, there'll be a home release on other digital video-on-demand platforms and on Blu-ray and DVD disc. Then, not long after that, it'll come back to HBO Max. Exact dates are still to be confirmed.
HBO Max has already seen a ton of blockbusters make an appearance in its streaming halls. Zack Snyder's Justice League, Godzilla vs. Kong, Mortal Kombat, the latest The Conjuring movie, Lin-Manuel Miranda's In The Heights and the upcoming Space Jam sequel starring LeBron James (July 16) have either come and gone or are still available. After the initial month-long release, these new films disappear from HBO Max for a while so they can have an online and DVD/Blu-ray home release, but they come back to HBO Max eventually.
Does The Suicide Squad have a post-credits scene?
Why, yes it does!
How much does HBO Max cost?
Right now, HBO Max costs $15 a month.
See it at HBO MaxWill it cost extra to watch The Suicide Squad?
Unlike Disney Plus Premium Access which charges extra for new films like Black Widow, there's no top-up fee for Suicide Squad beyond your HBO Max subscription fee.
You might already have HBO Max and not know it
If you subscribe to HBO via your cable or satellite provider, you can probably get HBO Max without paying anything extra. We explain it in detail here, but essentially, you'll need to watch on a smart TV or streaming device -- or a Comcast Xfinity box -- using the HBO Max app and your home internet connection.
The Roku deal
Last December, Roku struck a deal that gives subscribers access to HBO Max. Roku users who already use the HBO app will automatically update to HBO Max. You can find more information here.

Plot and cast
Classified as a standalone sequel to David Ayer's poorly-received Suicide Squad from 2016, the new flick brings back a few of the same unhinged supervillains like Harley Quinn and Captain Boomerang, as well as introducing a host more (most of whom you can expect to be killed off in violent ways -- especially with the R rating). Cast additions include:
- Jon Cena -- Peacemaker
- Idris Elba -- Bloodsport
- Sylvester Stallone -- King Shark
- Alice Braga -- Sol Soria
- Peter Capaldi -- The Thinker
- Pete Davidson -- Blackguard
- Nathan Fillion -- T.D.K.
- Storm Reid -- Tyla
- David Dastmalchian -- Polka-Dot Man
- Daniela Melchior -- Ratcatcher 2
- Michael Rooker -- Savant
- Sean Gunn -- Weasel
- Flula Borg -- Javelin
- Mayling Ng -- Mongal
They're playing various supervillains freed from Belle Reve penitentiary to take on a, yep, suicidal mission. Viola Davis' Amanda Waller returns to run the Task Force X program, enlisting the large squad to destroy a Nazi-era prison and laboratory, where they cross paths with Starro, a giant, telepathic starfish. Of course.
The standalone sequel to David Ayers Suicide Squad 2016 was originally scheduled for August 6, but landed a day earlier just for fun.
