Your favorite convicts from Suicide Squad are kinda, sorta back in The Suicide Squad, the standalone sequel that is coming to theaters and HBO Max this weekend.

At the very least, Margot Robbie is back to play Harley Quinn, her third time in the role after 2016’s Suicide Squad and 2020’s Birds of Prey. Also returning are Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, and Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang. Newcomers to this new Suicide Squad movie include Idris Elba as Bloodsport, John Cena as Peacemaker, and Sylvester Stallone as the voice of King Shark.

Neither Will Smith nor Jared Leto will be reprising their roles in The Suicide Squad, which is written and directed by James Gunn, best known as the director of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. So far, the response from critics has been mostly positive, but we know you want to check out the movie for yourself before the spoilers hit Twitter.

Here’s what you need to know about The Suicide Squad release date and The Suicide Squad release time on HBO Max.

WHEN DOES THE SUICIDE SQUAD COME OUT ON HBO MAX? WHAT IS THE SUICIDE SQUAD HBO MAX RELEASE DATE?

The Suicide Squad will open in theaters and begin streaming on HBO Max on the evening of Thursday, August 5, 2021.

Technically, The Suicide Squad release date is Friday, August 6, and usually, new movies come to HBO Max on Friday, but because “midnight” screenings will start on Thursday evening, the movie will be heading to HBO Max a few hours early as well.
