James Gunn has confirmed that The Suicide Squad is now "fully finished," and praised Warner Bros. for not even slightly interfering with the movie. Taking to Twitter, Gunn replied to a fan who asked whether the studio was heavily involved with The Suicide Squad. In response, the director explained how he was given total creative freedom on the project, making "every single choice" himself, as Warners gave "very few notes" and it was his choice whether to take them on board or not. He also confirmed that the movie has now reached completion.

#TheSuicideSquad is fully finished and cut and I made every single choice and they never once even slightly interfered. They gave very few notes - they were usually good and minor and I took them if I wanted to and didn't if I didn't want to. Warners was creatively amazing.

The Suicide Squad, for the DCEU, is one of several major Warner Bros. movies that will be released in theaters and on HBO Max simultaneously this year — and with "carte blanche" to kill off any Suicide Squad members he wanted to (even Harley Quinn), Gunn has loaded up the movie with cannon fodder obscurities like Blackguard, Javelin, Polka-Dot Man, Savant, and more. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/22/the-suicide-squad-official-cast-reveal"] In the DC comics, the Suicide Squad gained a reputation for having an increasingly high body count — a trend that continued in the antihero team's various other incarnations and adaptations. With every member of the squad being expendable once again, no one can be sure who will survive Gunn's soft reboot, though there are plenty of contenders. The movie stars Idris Elba as Bloodsport, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, John Cena as Peacemaker, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, David Dastmalchian as Polka-Dot Man, Daniela Melchior as Ratcatcher II, Steve Agee as King Shark and John Economos, Sean Gunn as Weasel, Flula Borg as Javelin, Nathan Fillion as TDK, Peter Capaldi as The Thinker, Pete Davidson as Blackguard, Alice Braga as Sol Soria, Mayling Ng as Mongal, Juan Diego Botto as Luna, and Michael Rooker as Savant. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=dc-extended-universe-every-upcoming-movie&captions=true"] The Suicide Squad will debut in theaters and on HBO Max on August 6, 2021. There's no trailer yet for the movie, but Warners did include some footage in a sizzle reel of upcoming releases. Gunn is also writing and directing a Suicide Squad TV series spinoff starring John Cena's character Peacemaker. No release window has been given for that yet, though it is expected to premiere after The Suicide Squad.

Activision has confirmed that there's a new Call of Duty game coming late this year. The news was revealed during Activision Blizzard's Q4 2020 earnings call (transcribed by The Motley Fool), in which Activision CFO Dennis Durkin talked through the company's plans for Call of Duty – which includes a "strong premium release planned for Q4 in 2021." Given that Durkin also mentions migrating the existing CoD community to that game, there seems no doubt that this is another full annual release for the series. With the success of free-to-play mode Call of Duty: Warzone across multiple years, some have questioned the need for annual Call of Duty releases, but it seems Activision has no intention of slowing down. No title, subject matter, or developer are mentioned in the calls. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/23/call-of-duty-warzone-review"] Warzone will seemingly remain a part of the ongoing plan, with Durkin saying that the franchise, "will benefit from a full year of Warzone driving upgrades to our premium content and incremental in-game player investment." Alongside the new game, Durkin explains that there is "a fantastic pipeline of in-game [Call of Duty] content ahead across all platforms." He adds, "Call of Duty is entering 2021 with the largest player community it has ever had to start a year." Later in the call, Durkin turned his attention to Blizzard, noting that Activision's outlook "does not include Diablo IV or Overwatch 2 launching in 2021." It was also mentioned that Blizzard has "muliple" mobile, free-to-play Warcraft games in development. In other Activision news, the company has been hit with a copyright infringement lawsuit over the character Mara from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare [poilib element="accentDivider"] Jordan Oloman is a freelance writer for IGN.

James Gunn has confirmed that he joined forces with Taika Waititi to discuss MCU characters before work began on the Thor: Love and Thunder script. Taking to Twitter, Gunn replied to a fan who asked about his level of input with the fourth Thor movie. In response, the director explained that he didn't have "much input," though he admitted that he and Waititi teamed up to exchange ideas on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and Thor: Love and Thunder. He said that they both swapped scripts to figure out "where the characters are and where they're going."

Not much, & @TaikaWaititi is doing a great job - the script is amazing. We talked before he started writing it about where the characters are & where they're going & he read the script for Vol 3 & then I read his script & shared my thoughts.

It was previously reported that Chris Pratt, who leads the MCU's Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, had joined the cast of Thor: Love and Thunder to reprise his role as Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord. In the same report, it was implied that other Guardians characters could possibly make an appearance in the Waititi-directed sequel also, which would further explain their potential need for collaboration. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/04/13/thor-love-and-thunder-breaking-down-taika-waititis-crazy-clues-ign-now"] Peter Quill and Thor enjoyed a friendly rivalry in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, the latter of which saw the heavyset Bro Thor leave his fellow Asgardians behind on Earth whilst he joined the Guardians in space. It now sounds like the two characters could be reuniting on the big screen again in Thor 4, a movie described as having an "Avengers 5 feel" due to its large cast. The all-star ensemble features the likes of Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tessa Thompson, and Christian Bale as the villainous Gorr the God Butcher. Waititi will also once again voice Thor's alien pal Korg in the movie, which is currently slated for release on May 6, 2022. It will follow Black Widow, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and many more in the MCU's Phase 4.

Capcom has said that recent leaks tied to a cyber attack have had "no significant impact" on title releases and that development work has "largely returned to normal." The news was revealed as part of Capcom's Fiscal Year 2020 3rd Quarter earnings presentation. In the Question and Answer summary, the studio responded to a question about the impact of the data security incident the company suffered back in November of 2020, which leaked a number of games and their release windows, including Dragons Dogma 2 and Street Fighter 6. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/01/21/resident-evil-village-story-trailer"] "There has been no significant impact at this point, and development work has largely returned to normal," the answer reads. This suggests that the leak has not had any impact on Capcom's current game development plans and that the studio is proceeding as normal. Capcom issued a statement in January noting that 16.415 people had their personal details stolen in the hack and that the company had lost "Sales reports, financial information, game development documents, other information related to business partners." We reported back in November that former Capcom employees feared for their private data in the wake of the ransomware attack. In other Capcom news, Resident Evil Village's Art Director recently unravelled the mystery of Lady Dimitrescu's height. Leaks for Resident Evil Village are now out in the wild and circulating, so watch out for spoilers if you're anticipating the game. Resident Evil Village will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on May 7, 2021. Jordan Oloman Is A Freelance Writer for IGN. Follow him on Twitter.
