James Gunn is 'grateful' after 'The Suicide Squad' red band trailer gets 150 million views
The Suicide Squad
Director James Gunn is "grateful" after the red band trailer for 'The Suicide Squad'set a new record for most views of a red band trailer in a week with over 150 million views worldwide.
"I'm incredibly grateful to all of you for making this happen," Gunn says in a post on Twitter.
Unlike the extremely gritty and dark Zack Snyder’s Justice League, The Suicide Squad takes everything from the goofy world of DC's most twisted villains, and band them together in a wild ride full of action and punchlines.
Gunn was signed on to write and direct the new `Suicide Squad` in October 2018, months after he was fired by Disney from making `Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3` for a series of old tweets that made light of rape and paedophilia, for which Gunn unreservedly apologised.
The production of the fantasy-action movie was wrapped before the COVID-19 pandemic.
