Directed by David Ayer, the first Suicide Squad stars Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Adam Beach, Jai Courtney, Viola Davis, Cara Delevingne, Karen Fukuhara, Jay Hernandez, Joel Kinnaman, Jared Leto, Margot Robbie and Will Smith, most of whom are likely to return for the big screen follow-up.
The Hollywood Reporter brings word that Warner Bros. Pictures’ forthcoming Suicide Squad 2 has enlisted a screenwriter with Adam Cozad (The Legend of Tarzan, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit) set to pen the screenplay.
It remains to be seen which characters will appear in the upcoming sequel since Margot Robbie is set to star in a female-led spin-off titled Gotham City Sirens and Jared Leto has expressed displeasure in the final cut of the film.
Ayer, meanwhile, is working with Robbie on the Gotham City Sirens film.
