James Gunn Teases Suicide Squad Post-Credits Scenes And Explains Why He Turned Down Superman

Director James Gunn is active on Twitter, and he recently used the social media platform to tease The Suicide Squad's post-credits scene (or scenes!?), while he also explained why he turned down the opportunity to direct a Superman film (all of this is via Collider).

Asked by a fan on Twitter if The Suicide Squad would have a post-credits stinger, Gunn replied, "A?" This is a strong suggestion that the film will have multiple post-credits scene. This isn't terribly surprising, as superhero movies are known for this these days.

The Suicide Squad is part of the DC Extended Universe, so it could connect to the wider universe, and its post-credits scenes (if they do indeed exist) could set up things to come.

Regarding turning down the opportunity to direct a Superman movie, Gunn said he was simply more interested in The Suicide Squad.

"Because The Suicide Squad interested me more. Just because one character is more famous or popular doesn't mean I’m going to be more creatively invigorated by the story for the over two years it takes to write & direct a film," he said.

The Suicide Squad releases in theaters and on HBO Max in August. Gunn is also working on a TV show spin-off for John Cena's Peacemaker, along with a Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. Gunn is also involved in the new Guardians of the Galaxy ride at Disney World, and he is making Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 for 2023. He's very busy.
