Suicide Squad is an American superhero film based on the DC Comics antihero team of the same name. Released in 2016, it was directed and co-written by David Ayer and stars an ensemble cast featuring Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto, Jai Courtney, Viola Davis, and Cara Delevingne. The film follows a group of super villains who are recruited by a secret government agency to execute dangerous black ops missions and save the world from a powerful threat.
The film was met with mixed reviews from critics, but grossed over $745 million worldwide and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling. Despite its success at the box office and its cult following amongst fans of the comic book series, Suicide Squad is unfortunately not available on Netflix.
Netflix offers some DC films such as Justice League Dark: Apokolips War and Superman: Red Son but Suicide Squad is not one of them. The film can be rented or purchased on various digital platforms such as Amazon Prime Video or iTunes.
Since 2017, DC Comics have been in partnership with HBO Max to produce exclusive content which includes movies such as Justice League Dark: Apokolips War mentioned previously. It is likely that Netflix will eventually gain access to some of these films but it may take some time before Suicide Squad becomes available on their streaming service as they focus more heavily on original programming than existing films from other studios.
For those looking to watch Suicide Squad without buying or renting a digital copy, there are other options available such as purchasing or renting the DVD or Blu-ray version of the film or subscribing to HBO Max for access to their library of DC content including this movie.
In conclusion, Suicide Squad is not currently available on Netflix but can be rented or purchased from various digital platforms such as Amazon Prime Video or iTunes. Fans hoping for access can also purchase physical copies or subscribe to HBO Max for access to their library of DC content including this movie.
