James Gunn Confirms 'The Suicide Squad's Exact Runtime
How many deaths can we fit in two hours?
James Gunn used his Twitter account to tell us the exact runtime for The Suicide Squad, his upcoming take on the villainous DC superteam. Gunn also confirmed The Suicide Squad will have at least one post-credits scene, which might indicate the filmmaker intends to come back for a sequel, should Warner Bros./DC invite him.
Replying to a fan’s description of a weird two-part version of The Suicide Squad they’d dreamed about, Gunn said that the film has exactly “2 hours and 12 minutes”. This puts The Suicide Squad runtime between Guardians of the Galaxy, with 2 hours and 5 minutes, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, with 2 hours and 18 minutes. Both Guardians of the Galaxy also dealt with the introduction of multiple characters, mostly unknown to the public, so The Suicide Squad should give Gunn enough time to deliver his best version of DC’s group of misfits.
