Squad’s all here
The wait is over – for the UK at least – as The Suicide Squad hits cinemas from TODAY! If you’re in the US, you’ll have to wait another 7 days (but it’s worth the wait if you ask us).
With 99% on Rotten Tomatoes, making it the highest score for a superhero movie EVER, and plenty of love for King Shark, sink your teeth into the flow of praise for the movie from press and the Twittersphere:
IGN: ‘endlessly shocking and funny, and its showcase of F-list DC villains is nothing short of brilliant.’
CNet: ‘A gory, glorious and deranged delight’
USA Today: ‘a bloody marvel that blows up the superhero genre’
The Tomorrow War
In a mere 12 weeks our MTL teams brought The Tomorrow War to life with an apocalyptic Miami, deadly aliens and speedy fighter jets. The movie has taken the top spot on Nielsen’s U.S. streaming chart, even beating Disney+’s Luca. Congratulations to all who were involved, you can read more about our work on our website here.
