The report also notes that the studio is still looking into doing a sequel to Suicide Squad as well, but given the positive reaction to Harley Quinn and where the project is at in the development process, Gotham City Sirens is expected to be put on the fast track.
The Hollywood Reporter was the first to break the news that David Ayer has signed on to direct Gotham City Sirens, which will also be a villain-centric movie, focused on female baddies in the DC Comics universe such as Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn, Catwoman and Poison Ivy.
Gotham City Sirens was a recent DC Comics title that focused on the trio of Harley Quinn, Catwoman and Poison Ivy working as a team to do their own bidding.
Despite the poor critical reception, Suicide Squad went on to gross $745 million at the box office, so Warner Bros. has a lot of reason to believe Gotham City Sirens can work.
