Having announced his full cast last week, director James Gunn has now confirmed that cameras are rolling on The Suicide Squad, Warner Bros. and DC Films’ follow-up to the 2016 supervillain team-up from David Ayer.

Gunn responded to a fan question on Instagram this past Friday about the production start date by revealing that filming was already underway on the movie, with the filmmaker subsequently sharing a photo of himself along with new cast members Flula Borg, Daniela Melchior, David Dastmalchian, Jennifer Holland, Nathan Fillion, Sean Gunn and Maylin Ng.
