Is DCEU’s blockbuster Suicide Squad available to stream on Netflix? The DC Extended Universe is currently in great shape, with a line-up of exciting projects, from the eagerly awaited sequel Wonder Woman 1984 to Joaquin Phoenix’s mature take on the Joker. It has to be said the DCEU had some bumps along the way, however. Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, the second official entry, was met with a mixed critical reception and its box-office gross proved disappointing to the studio. Suicide Squad was undeniably a success, but it too suffered mixed reviews.

The troubled production of Justice League resulted in a blockbuster with a lot of problems, which led to a reorganization of the DCEU slate. While the movie might have been a critical disappointment, Suicide Squad was significant since it was the live-action film debut of Harley Quinn. Harley was first introduced as a henchwoman for the Joker on Batman: The Animated Series, but she evolved into a beloved anti-heroine over the years. Margot Robbie played Harley in Suicide Squad and is set to return for James Gunn’s sequel The Suicide Squad.

For fans hoping to watch Suicide Squad on Netflix USA, sadly the movie isn’t available to stream on the platform. Suicide Squad is currently available on Netflix in the United Kingdom, however. Netflix in the UK is also home to Marvel superhero movies such as Ant-Man and Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2. The latter movie was recently removed from Netflix USA, and with rival service Disney+ set to launch soon, it’s highly unlikely Marvel movies will return to Netflix in the near future.

Interestingly, James Gunn is set to tackle The Suicide Squad before taking on Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3. The sequel is poised to be a soft reboot, but with returning characters such as Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) and Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney), it won’t be a complete reset either. Idris Elba was earmarked to replace Will Smith in the role of Deadshot, though Gunn later opted to cast Elba as a new character instead, giving Smith the option to return in a future DCEU movie.

New characters set to join the team in The Suicide Squad include Polka-Dot Man and Ratcatcher, while John Cena is rumored for the part of Peacemaker. For viewers who want to refresh their memory of the original Suicide Squad before the sequel arrives, the movie is available to rent and buy from services like Prime Video and iTunes. Unfortunately, Suicide Squad can’t be found on Netflix USA, and there’s currently no sign of it appearing on the platform.
