James Gunn Confirms Rough Cut of The Suicide Squad Is Already Done

Earlier this week, James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad wrapped principal photography. Now, Gunn says he has a rough cut of nearly the entire movie done. In the comments section of a post-filming tribute post on Instagram, the filmmaker revealed he and his team edited heavily during the filming process, meaning rough cut of the film has already materialized ahead of some hefty lifting during post-production.

“I can’t wait to show you [The Suicide Squad,]” Gunn tells a fan in his Instagram comments. “Even though we’ve done a rough cut of almost the entire film (I spend a lot of time editing during production), I have to wait two weeks for the editors’ assembly. I don’t know what to do with myself.”

 

Warner Brothers isn’t in a massive rush to push post-production along. After all, the movie doesn’t hit theaters for another 16 months, likely adding to the stress Gunn will endure these next few weeks. Luckily for fans around the world, that likely means the fan-favorite director will have some time for his signature fan Q&A sessions through Instagram.
