Speaking with CNA Lifestyle about his future, Gunn was asked about the possibility of having to pit the Suicide Squad against the likes of the Justice League. Gunn said that it wouldn’t be a bad idea at all, but he has a lot to learn about the world of the DCEU before even diving into something like that.

“I’d have to think about that. I haven’t put any thought into a Suicide Squad vs. Justice League movie, but it’s not a bad idea,” Gunn said. “But I think I gotta figure out who the Justice League is first because I have no clue. I’m here in the middle of DC [and] people are always asking me, ‘Is Henry Cavill still Superman?’ I don’t know who Superman is… Who knows!”

Of course, with the future of the DCEU currently in flux, it’s anyone’s guess as to what will happen in the future. In the meantime, James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad stars returning DCEU alums Margot Robbie, Jai Courtney, Joel Kinnaman, and Viola Davis along with franchise newcomers Idris Elba, John Cena,  Peter Capaldi, David Dastmalchian, Daniela Melchior, Michael Rooker, Alice Braga, Pete Davidson, Joaquín Cosio, Juan Diego Botto, Storm Reid, Nathan Fillion, Sean Gunn, Mayling Ng, Flula Borg, Jennifer Holland, Tinashe Kajese, Sylvester Stallone, Steve Agee, and Taika Waititi.
