James Gunn, director of the upcoming The Suicide Squad, recently took fans by surprise by showing his love for Toei’s popular Tokusatsu hit, Kamen Rider. Kamen Rider recently was trending on social media in the United States thanks to a special streaming premiere of an official English language release for one of the most recent films in the franchise, and it was a pretty huge deal considering that much of Kamen Rider‘s properties in general don’t get a lot of official English releases in the United States. James Gunn also took note of how it was trending too!
