Now The Hollywood Reporter says that Suicide Squad 2 is moving forward with a new director who’s jumping ship from Marvel to the Distinguished Competition: James Gunn.
The sequel has the title of The Suicide Squad and is not being labeled a direct sequel but as a relaunch …
(David Ayer, a guy known for bleak war and crime movies, isn’t exactly the funniest filmmaker.) If we can’t get another Guardians from James Gunn, a Suicide Squad movie is a pretty good consolation prize.
Sources say that Gunn’s focus is to take the franchise in a new direction with mostly an all-new cast of characters and actors.
