James Gunn says The Suicide Squad music will be different than Guardians of the Galaxy
Regarding the music for The Suicide Squad, James Gunn responded to fan questions on social media.
“Just might,” Gunn responded to a fan asking if he has a few juicy tunes lined up for The Suicide Squad.
Responding to another fan’s question if The Suicide Squad will be music-heavy, too, Gunn tweeted: “Music is an incredibly important part of ALL of my films, both soundtrack and score. So, yeah. But it will be a lot different than Guardians musically – and in so many other ways.”
The Suicide Squad gets released August 6, 2021.
