Guardians of the Galaxy 3 could include actors from The Suicide Squad, according to director James Gunn.

"That is a distinct possibility," Gunn said on Twitter, in response to a fan asking if any cast members from the DC movie would be invited to the Marvel threequel.  

This isn't a huge surprise, as familiar faces often pop up in Gunn's movies – Michael Rooker and Sean Gunn both acted in Guardians of the Galaxy and its sequel Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and also appeared in The Suicide Squad. Sylvester Stallone, who voices King Shark in the DC movie, had a role in Guardians of the Galaxy 2, and Mantis actor Pom Klementieff had a cameo in The Suicide Squad in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment.

As for who might be appearing in Guardians of the Galaxy 3, the list is huge. The Suicide Squad's cast includes, deep breath: Margot Robbie, Viola Davis, John Cena, Idris Elba, Joel Kinnaman, Nathan Fillion, Jai Courtney, Flula Borg, Pete Davidson, Mayling Ng, Jennifer Holland, Stephen Blakehart, Steve Agee, David Dastmalchian, Daniela Melchoir, Tinashe Kajese-Bolden, and Peter Capaldi.
