Where was Suicide Squad Filmed? Midway City & all the Filming Locations

Posted by Ra Moon

Suicide Squad was filmed in the streets of the Canadian city of Toronto, plus in other minor locations in California.

The 2016 American antihero -or supervillain- movie was headquartered at Pinewood Studios in Toronto and Paramount Studios in Los Angeles. If you are looking for the locations where the new 2021 The Suicide Squad was filmed, follow this link.

The new movie is not Suicide Squad 2, because it's not a sequel, but it shares universe and some of the actors of this first -sorry, previous- movie.

The cast of this gang of dark and entertaining characters is led by Will Smith as Deadshot, Margot Robbie as the naughty Harley Quinn, and Jared Leto as Joker.

The dangerous criminals will have to save the world (or in this case, the world of Midway City, the fictional metropolis from the DC film universe), in a desperate mission from a secret government agency.

Here is our guide to all the filming locations of Suicide Squad - Contains no spoilers!
