‘The Suicide Squad’ brings giant Starro statue to Leicester Square

Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele was booed by his own fans every time he touched the ball against Napoli in the Europa League on Thursday.The Frenchman's torrid spell at the Nou Camp - which has been plagued by injuries and mishaps - appears to have reached its nadir with supporters furious with the 24-year-old for recently rejecting a contract extension.He was greeted by a cacophony of jeers as he came off the bench to make his first appearance for the club in 2022, during what was Barcelona's first Europa League match since 2004, and the bitter home crowd refused to let up all night.Dembele entered the fray with 25 minutes remaining, shortly after Ferran Torres had cancelled out Piotr Zielinski's opener for the visitors, though perhaps unsurprisingly he failed to make any significant impact on the game.Dembele's contract expires in the summer, meaning he'll be able to leave the club on a free transfer at the end of the season.Desperate to avoid that, Barcelona chiefs have been trying to tie the former Dortmund man down to a new deal all season and even insisted the player would be sold in January if he failed to agree an extension by then - but no such move materialised.Would you like to see Ousmane Dembele in the Premier League? Let us know which club you think he'd be most suited to in the comments section...He was linked to Chelsea, which would have seen him reunited with former manager Thomas Tuchel, as well as to Paris Saint Germain, but Dembele opted to stay put and see out the remainder of his £210,000-a-week contract in Catalonia.Barcelona paid a whopping £130 million to bring Dembele to the club in 2017 following an impressive breakthrough season in the Bundesliga, though he's spent just as much time on the

Holidaymakers will go to extreme lengths to get the perfect travel selfie – including handing their expensive phone over to strangers, and taking pictures with wild animals.A study of 2,000 adults who travel abroad found nearly one in ten of those who take pictures have even gone as far as standing on a cliff edge to get the perfect pic.Others have paid for extra luggage allowance so they can take more “props” or multiple outfits, have eaten food they didn’t really like, or missed a train or bus.It also emerged more than half (51 percent) can’t imagine not taking pictures on holiday, with 21 percent considering travel selfies to be “mandatory”.And the typical adult will take 14 selfies a day while on holiday – uploading seven images a week onto social media.A spokesman for telecommunications company Virgin Media O2, which commissioned the research, said: “After nearly two years of travel being disrupted by Covid, things are looking brighter for holidaymakers this year.“Whether booking a city break in spring or hitting the beach this summer, our social feeds are set to be full of sea, sunsets and ski slopes throughout the year.“The ease and convenience of inclusive EU roaming means customers are able to keep connected on holiday without the concern of roaming charges.”The study also found natural scenery, glorious sunsets and posing on the beaches are the more favourable selfies taken by travellers.Of those who take pictures, 77 percent do so simply for the memories – but 17 percent want to impress their followers on social media.And 43 percent plan to post good holiday pictures online – with 36 percent posting more pics of their holiday activities than they do when they’re at home.But posting pictures online while on

James Gunn’s “The Suicide Squad” from David Ayer’s “Suicide Squad.” But, oh, what a difference a word makes.Just five years after the trainwreck that prompted Warner Bros. to retool its DC Comics universe, James Gunn’s nearly wholesale re-do exists in an entirely different movie galaxy.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic“The Suicide Squad” is cunningly scuzzy, disreputable fun. It’s being advertised as a movie “from the horrifyingly beautiful mind of James Gunn,” and as much as I love “Guardians of the Galaxy” and enjoyed most of its sequel, I can’t say that I ever thought of James Gunn as having a horrifyingly beautiful mind.

How do you make a superhero film for a multi-billion-dollar corporation feel like a personal endeavor? (please refrain from laughing at least until the very end) For filmmaker James Gunn that’s leaning into the two, sometimes contradictory elements of your personality, excavating the tension from that juxtaposition and letting it all bleed into your story.

With the release of “The Suicide Squad” on the horizon, James Gunn looks to be batting successfully for both of comic books’ ‘Big Two,’ having made two “Guardians of the Galaxy” films (with an upcoming third) for Marvel Studios, and now a sequel to Warner Bros and DC Comics’ “Suicide Squad,” which seemed to take cues from Gunn’s sci-fi megahit.
