When Is Suicide Squad 2 Coming Out On Hbo Max

Okay, let's talk about The Suicide Squad. And specifically, when that glorious mayhem is gracing our HBO Max screens again. Because, let's be honest, who *doesn't* want more Harley Quinn in their lives?

The Great HBO Max Mystery

So, where is it? We saw it. We loved it. (Or at least, most of us did. More on *that* later.) But now? Where is the glorious carnage of The Suicide Squad hiding on HBO Max?

It's like when you lose your keys. You *know* they're in the house somewhere. You just can't, for the life of you, remember where you put them. Is HBO Max playing hide-and-seek with King Shark?

A Trip Down Memory Lane (and Movie Release Schedules)

First, a little refresher. The Suicide Squad, the (slightly) less-terrible sequel/reboot, premiered both in theaters and on HBO Max back in 2021. Remember those days? We were all a little more... indoorsy.

The "simultaneous release" was a thing because, you know, the world was still doing its best impression of a disaster movie. But that meant it eventually...left. Such is the way of temporary streaming deals.

So, technically, it *was* on HBO Max. But that was then. This is now. And now, we're all scratching our heads, wondering where it went. Did Starro eat the digital copy?

The Unpopular Opinion (Brace Yourselves)

Okay, deep breath. Here's where I might lose some of you. Ready? I actually liked The Suicide Squad *more* than the first one.

I said it! Sue me. James Gunn brought the crazy. The characters were (mostly) lovable. And the whole thing felt like a comic book come to life. Fight me in the comments (but please be nice).

Plus, John Cena in tiny shorts? Comedy gold. Don't even pretend you didn't chuckle.

So, When Is It Coming Back? The Million-Dollar Question

Here's the thing: unfortunately, I don't have a crystal ball. If I did, I'd be using it to predict lottery numbers, not streaming schedules. But we can speculate!

Often, these things come down to licensing agreements and studio negotiations. It's all very exciting...if you're a lawyer. For the rest of us, it's just frustrating.

My (completely unsubstantiated) theory? It'll pop back up eventually. Maybe when they need a big boost to subscriber numbers. Maybe when the planets align. Who knows?

What To Do While We Wait (Impatiently)

In the meantime, there are options! We could re-watch Guardians of the Galaxy (Gunn's other masterpiece). Or maybe binge Peacemaker. More Peacemaker is always a good thing.

We could even (gasp!) buy a physical copy of The Suicide Squad. Remember DVDs? Those things that used to take up all our shelf space? Nostalgia!

Or, we could just keep refreshing the HBO Max homepage every five minutes. You know, for science. And for the love of Harley Quinn.

One thing is for sure: the demand is there. People want more Suicide Squad. They want more explosions, more crazy characters, and more ridiculously over-the-top action.

So, HBO Max, if you're listening... bring back the squad! We're ready. And we have snacks.

Just please, don't make us wait too long. Some of us are starting to develop withdrawal symptoms. The kind that only a healthy dose of Bloodsport can cure.

Fingers crossed! And happy streaming (of other stuff, for now).
