James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad is gearing up to begin filming in September.
Smith portrayed Deadshot in David Ayer’s Suicide Squad and a deal wasn’t actually in place for him to reprise his role.
The Suicide Squad is set to hit theaters on August 6, 2021.
Previously, Gavin O’Connor (The Accountant) had written a version of Suicide Squad 2 and was on deck to direct, ultimately departing the project over creative differences, which paved the way for James Gunn to come in.
