James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad opened in theaters worldwide in 2021, receiving positive reviews but unfortunately flopping at the box office. As a standalone sequel to Suicide Squad (2016), another commercial disappointment, the standards were set tremendously low. However, The Suicide Squad added a tasteful twist to a rebooted story, introducing even more zany characters, such as Idris Elba’s Bloodsport, John Cena’s Peacemaker, Sylvester Stallone’s King Shark, Daniela Melchior’s Ratcatcher 2, and David Dastmalchian’s Polka-Dot Man. Arguably, Polka-Dot Man is the most pointless DC character of all-time, but somehow, James Gunn and David Dastmalchian managed to make him extremely prominent despite his laughable powers.
When the dust had settled and The Suicide Squad had grossed a hefty $167.4 million worldwide, Gunn began working on a spin-off series starring John Cena’s Peacemaker, which debuted in January 2022. Ever since, The Suicide Squad cast have been expressing keen interest in even more potential spin-offs. When speaking to ScreenRant, David Dastmalchian made it clear that Polka-Dot Man — despite all the criticisms leveled at him — deserves a spin-off.
