Actor Joel Kinnaman says he is looking forward to director James Gunn's version of his 2016 film "Suicide Squad". The 39-year-old actor played the role of Rick Flag, an Army Special Forces colonel who leads a pack of supervillain to save the world, in the David Ayer-directed movie.

Despite being panned by the critics, the film, which also featured Will Smith, Jared Leto, Margot Robbie and Viola Davis, raked in over USD 745 million worldwide. Last year, Gunn, best known for helming Marvel's "Guardian of the Galaxy" series, was hired by Warner Bros to direct the follow-up, which is scheduled to release on August 6, 2021.
