Responding to questions about the The Suicide Squad on Twitter, Gunn allayed fans’ fears, at least for the time being. “Right now there’s no reason for #TheSuicideSquad release date to move. We are on or ahead of schedule. We were extremely fortunate to wrap shooting & set up editing from our homes (due to a post production team & studio with foresight) before quarantine,” he tweeted.
This means that, barring any major reshoots that need to take place, the crew has over a year to finish post-production before the film is due to be released. This should be sufficient time for the project to be complete in time for its scheduled August 6, 2021 release date, even with the added difficulty of everyone having to conduct meetings over Zoom or Skype. If reshoots do come into play, there’s still enough time left before that date that the world could be open for business again in time for those to happen, and for Warner Bros. to stay the course in terms of the premiere date.
