Joel Kinnaman Says THE SUICIDE SQUAD Is Heavily Rated-R' and a 'F**king Monster'

James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad has yet to receive an official rating, but there has been a lot of speculation and talk about the film getting an R-rating. Well, according to actor Joel Kinnaman, who plays Rick Flagg, the movie will be “heavily Rated-R” and a “fucking monster.”

During an interview with THR, Kinnaman said:

“That movie is going to be insane. The script is so funny. Every page of that script was funny, and every page made me laugh. James just has this command of that genre, but also over every aspect of comedy and even the marketing. He just understands the world so well, and since he wrote it, he really reinvents not just the concepts, but also the characters. For me, it was like I did my first comedy, but it’s like heavily R-rated. It was a real learning experience for me too because I’d never done a comedy in that way before. So I asked James to work with me and teach me this sh-t. And yeah, we had so much fun doing it. That movie is going to be a fucking monster. Honestly, even though I’m in it, I can’t wait to see it as a fan.”

These comments are sure to get DC fans excited for what’s coming. I imagine this new adventure will make heads explode. Kinnaman also talked about the new characters who have joined the roster of The Suicide Squad saying:

"There’s definitely some new members that are already becoming real friends, but there’s something about the first gang of lunatics. There was more energy put into making the movie the second time around. The first time around, there was a lot of energy put into everything around us. But no, they’re such good people. It’s also something about the whole concept of being a squad. There was never a bad ego on either of these films; not the first or the second one. There was never a shitty person that was trying to suck up all the air. On both films, there were really generous, warm, funny people around that were just about feeding the collective. There’s something about the concept that really helps that vibe, and because there was a core unit from the first one, I think we brought that spirit of the first film into the second one as well."

The Suicide Squad has been described as being a gritty 1970’s style war action movie and the full roster of characters also includes Idris Elba as the character Bloodsport, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, David Dastmalchian as Polka-Dot Man, Steve Agee as King Shark, and Daniela Melchior as Ratcatcher, Michael Rooker as Savant, Flula Borg as Javelin, Nathan Fillion is T.D.K., Mayling Ng as Mongal, Peter Capaldi as The Thinker, Alice Braga as Sol Soria, Steve Agee as King Shark, John Cena as Peacemaker, Joaquín Cosío as Mayor General Mateo Suarez, Pete Davidson as Blackguard, Sean Gunn as Weasel, Jennifer Holland as Emilia Harcourt, Storm Reid as Bloodsport's daughter, Tyla, and more. Taika Waititi will also be in the film.
