James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad script apparently had star Joel Kinnaman laughing out loud.
The hype is certainly building for James Gunn’s DC movie debut with The Suicide Squad. And why not, his work with Marvel on Guardians of the Galaxy has earned him lots of admirers so DC fans are looking forward to more of the same.
We have seen some promotional images and a character reveal video so far and it looks like it’s going to be a good time. Joel Kinnaman, who stars in the film as Rick Flag, has also teased the film’s comedic flavour.
Speaking to CBR, the actor said: “It was such a treat, and such an incredible experience to work with James Gunn. And his vision for The Suicide Squad, it was so good. And when I got the script sent to me, it’s so funny. Like every page made me laugh. I was sitting at home reading it laughing out loud.”
