What should come as no surprise if you are a fan of James Gunn’s movies or the Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy flicks, but Joel Kinnaman offers up that The Suicide Squad feels more like a comedy.
While promoting the Apple TV Plus show For All Mankind, Joel Kinnaman spoke about The Suicide Squad.
“He’s an incredible guy,” Kinnaman told Variety about director James Gunn. “He’s written a fantastic script. It’s so funny… I feel like I’m shooting my first comedy. There are a lot of really funny people there. It’s like a learning experience. I’m around a lot of incredibly funny people.”
Set images have also hit the net that apparently shows off how comedic Gunn’s take on The Suicide Squad is as some rather goofy looking costumes were spotted. James Gunn also posted some weird video on Instagram, which only adds to the perceived humor surrounding the film.

While at the event, Kinnaman also spoke about the new Joker movie.
“Joaquin [Phoenix] just crushed it. Wow. He is incredible. He’s such an actor,” Kinnaman said. “It’s surprising to see that kind of a performance in something that has a DC wrapper on it, because that’s a real art film. And I have a sister who’s schizophrenic, and I’ve drawn on some of her behavioral things in things that I’ve done earlier, and, yeah, I was really struck by how accurate his [performance was].”
