While the first Suicide Squad movie may have gone down like a lead balloon with critiques, DC's band of dangerous supervillains are back to take another hack at it with Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn taking up the helm. Setting off on another mission, here's how to watch The Suicide Squad online as Harley Quinn, Bloodsport, Peacemaker, and King Shark return to the big screen.
The latest outing for our unhinged group of anti-heroes is available to watch on HBO Max right now. As with previous Warner Brother 2021 releases, it’s made available online day-and-date with its theatrical release, where you can watch it as much as you want for a duration of 31 days.
There are currently two HBO Max subscription plans available, but to watch The Suicide Squad online, you’ll need the ‘Ad Free’ plan costing $14.99 per month that you can cancel at any time. Alternatively, you could save 16% by committing to its annual plan for $149.99 for the 12-months.
You can stream HBO Max content on a wide range of compatible devices. These include: PC and Mac, Apple, Samsung, and Amazon Fire TVs, iPhone and Android devices, Roku players, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S consoles, Chromecast and Chromebooks.

The good news is that many theaters are open again, so The Suicide Squad is coming blazing to the big screen. It received a July 30 release in the UK, where lucky Brits are currently enjoying its R-rated superhero shenanigans, while Australians were able to see it in cinemas from August 5 and Canadians a day later on August 6.
Right now there’s no confirmation whether The Suicide Squad has been procured by any of the major VOD platforms in these territories. However, many of the 2021 Warner Brothers films released on HBO Max – like The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It – have been made available internationally to rent as PVOD (premium video on demand) titles, on services like Amazon Prime Video, Apple iTunes, and Google Play Store. While we don’t know for certain yet, it’ll be worth checking these websites to see if that holds true for The Suicide Squad.
We've been waiting a long time to see a much-needed reboot of the 2016 version, and having James Gunn attached - after the magic he wove on the Marvel side of things with the Guardians of the Galaxy - really whetted the appetite of movies fans the world over.
And our reviewer largely liked the "refreshingly ridiculous" new version:
"It’ll come as no surprise, then, to learn that Gunn’s The Suicide Squad is anything but boring, borrowing the best parts of its obvious inspirations to form an unashamedly ridiculous antihero adventure which is as unexpected as it is hilarious."
But although you can clearly expect an enjoyable couple of hours - whether that be at a home cinema or theater - the verdict does come with its reservations: "But The Suicide Squad also falters under the weight of its own personality, trading a relentless commitment to style and humor for the streamlined storytelling and emotional impact that have made its comic book contemporaries so popular."
As well as instant access to new Warner Bros. blockbusters – dystopian sci-fi Reminiscence arrives on August 20 – you get over 10,000 hours of prime content, including choice picks from the Warner Bros archive and subsidiary companies like New Line Cinema, Studio Ghibli’s animated masterpieces. There's also other DC Entertainment blockbusters like Wonder Woman: 1984.
Plus, and the clue's in the name, you'll be able to watch every iconic HBO series ever made. Watch The Sopranos, Euphoria, The Wire and Westworld, plus all 10 seasons of iconic sitcom Friends, HBO Max Originals and much more.
