The Suicide Squad’s Sean Gunn jokes about a Weasel and TDK spin-off film that we badly want to see.
The Suicide Squad
James Gunn is known for bringing his favorite actors back for his upcoming projects. His latest movie, The Suicide Squad, is no exception. The film includes two longtime collaborators of Gunn's and they are none other than Nathan Fillion and Gunn's brother, Sean Gunn. Fillon plays T.D.K or The Detachable Kid and Sean plays Weasel, respectively. The movie's cast and crew have been sharing a lot of fun behind-the-scenes content since the movie was released. Recently, Sean Gunn teased his fans over at Instagram with a Suicide Squad spin-off that should totally happen.
“Thrilled to announce my new show ‘T.D.K & the Weasel' with @nathanfillion coming soon to HBOMax!* *note: some information in this post may be untrue,” Gunn joked. “My catchphrase is, ‘Let’s see you WEASEL your way out of this one.' And I lean on the word Weasel really hard,” Fillion joked in the comments. “…and announcings Javelin as the awkwerd naybor,” Flula Borg added. You can check out Gunn's post below:

“I don't know much about what it was like for the other movie. I know from talking to Joel Kinnaman a little bit that they got to be close but all I can comment on was my experience with this film which was that it was just a remarkable group of actors,” Sean Gunn said in an interview with The Movie Dweeb. “It kind of just goes to show you what the modern tentpole movie can be, that you'd have 15, 20 accomplished actors who have extensive resumes and have done all sorts of brilliant work, and every part of it wore that out. Every day on set you could tell, not only that I was working with good people, but everybody was really tremendous language. Pardon my language but everybody was on top of their sh*t. Everyone got along great and I would go in the trenches… I would go into the trenches of movie making with every single one of those people again.”
About T.D.K…
As for Fillion, the actor recently spoke with ComicBook.com’s Brandon Davis and talked about how he and Gunn worked on his character. T.D.K.. Fillion joked, “My participation in the invention of the character kind of went like this. James saying, ‘Here's how it's going to go.' And me saying, ‘That sounds good.' That's what I call dissipation.”
“I take a lot of credit. It's all about the function of the character in the story,” Fillion added. “What is his function in the story? And TDK's abilities, for me, clearly spelled out his function and I got it. I know exactly what you need,” says Fillon. “I know what you're looking for. I know what you want. Boom. Let's do this. I get it.”
Both their characters truly had their moments in The Suicide Squad. Although T.D.K died a horrible death, keep in mind that Weasel is still out there alive. But hey, T.D.K's awesome face-touching abilities mixed with Weasel's inability to swim would make for a very funny series. Assuming they don't die in the first 15 minutes of the show.
The Suicide Squad is playing in theatres now and on HBO Max.
