'The Suicide Squad' Takes Place Years After the First 'Suicide Squad' Movie

'The Suicide Squad' is ready after the occasions of 'Birds of Prey,' but if does the movie take place and the way does Harley Quinn fit into it?

Even though The Suicide Squad takes place inside of the universe of the 2016 Suicide Squad movie, director James Gunn has reiterated that it's meant to be a film that stands by itself.

Still, some fanatics could be questioning when The Suicide Squad takes place. The most important factor is that there are plenty of familiar faces who return for the 2021 movie. And the plot is person who brings new Task Force X villains at the side of the OG ones.

The environment itself is basically modern-day. However, The Suicide Squad takes place in a selected time period that lovers will likely wish to learn about before watching it. For starters, the occasions in the movie happen after the Harley Quinn movie Birds of Prey. And besides that, there's a explicit yr during which it's set.

When does 'The Suicide Squad' take place?

In an Instagram story Q&A prior to the premiere of The Suicide Squad, James Gunn said the movie takes place in 2021, when it used to be released. This makes sense, given the undeniable fact that Suicide Squad takes place in 2016, the same year it came out.

Suicide Squad takes place proper after Superman's dying (even if he eventually comes back to lifestyles) and Birds of Prey takes place no longer long after that. In Harley's standalone movie, she escapes from prison and starts her personal band of antiheroes.

And in the procedure, she grows slightly bit. Unfortunately, in The Suicide Squad, she's again at the back of bars. But her willingness to sign up for up with Task Force X once more could imply she's prepared to be reformed. Slightly bit. Maybe.

Harley Quinn is still on her personal in 'The Suicide Squad.'

In Birds of Prey, Harley Quinn stays adamant that she wants to be single and refuses the protection that incorporates being the Joker's female friend. Since The Suicide Squad takes place around a 12 months after the occasions of Birds of Prey, she's most probably still unmarried with "Mr. J" at the back of her. That being stated, the Joker doesn't appear in The Suicide Squad, which is most definitely for the perfect.

There are a ton of recent characters in 'The Suicide Squad.'

James Gunn spoke with Screen Rant about the new characters in The Suicide Squad in comparison to Suicide Squad. He known as them a "disparate group of individuals."

They include Bloodsport, a grasp of palms and strength, and Polka-Dot Man, who can turn the dots on his dress into more than a few guns.

James also shared that he wanted to create a dynamic with the villains of Task Force X, particularly with King Shark, that reflects the odd world they reside in with superheroes being a factor.

"I wanted to give that feeling that there's this rich history of weird super villains and a magical realist feeling of a world in which they've seen a man fly," he stated. "They've seen an alien dude fly around and zap people with his eyeballs, so seeing a shark walk down the street is weird. You're going to look, but you're not going to faint, because that sometimes happens in this world of DC."
