Common questions
Is Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay part of the same series as the 2016 Suicide Squad movie?
No, Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay is a standalone animated film directed by Sam Liu. It is not connected to the live-action 2016 Suicide Squad movie or the subsequent 2021 film, The Suicide Squad, as those are separate productions with different creative teams and continuity.
Does Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay feature the same characters as The Suicide Squad?
Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay features a specific Task Force X lineup including Deadshot, Bronze Tiger, Killer Frost, Captain Boomerang, Harley Quinn, and Copperhead. While some of these characters appear in The Suicide Squad, the team rosters and the specific mission to retrieve a mystical object differ between them.
Should I watch Peacemaker before Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay?
You do not need to watch the 2022 Peacemaker series before viewing Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay. The animated film is a self-contained story about a mission to recover a mystical object and operates independently of the narrative events found in the Peacemaker television show.
Is the mission in Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay similar to the plots in other DC films?
Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay focuses on a race between villains to secure a powerful mystical object. This objective is unique to this film and differs from the mission structures seen in the 2016 Suicide Squad, The Suicide Squad, or the Peacemaker series, which follow their own distinct plotlines.
