　　Gunn held an online "watch party" for The Suicide Squad on Monday night, sharing his director's notes throughout the film and revealing neat behind-the-scenes details. One such detail is that Nathan Fillion's character, The Detachable Kid (TDK), did not actually die. People who paid close attention to a small detail might have already spotted this.

　　"Important to note if you look at the life signals in the Comms hub, TDK isn't dead," Gunn wrote.

　　Fillion responded to Gunn's tweet, saying he tried to call attention to this fact when he saw The Suicide Squad in a theater. "Apologies again, for the disturbance," he said.

　　At the beginning of The Suicide Squad, TDK separates his arms from his body and dispatches them into a firefight, using them to smack soldiers on the head. This does not go to plan, and TDK bites the dust, or so we are led to believe. He actually survives, though whether or not Gunn has more plans for TDK in any future Suicide Squad project remains to be seen.

John Cena's Peacemaker is significantly injured at the end of The Suicide Squad, but he does in fact survive to fight another day. Peacemaker is getting his own TV show, and we'll learn more about it at DC Fandome in October, alongside news about Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
