A few weeks ago, we learned that DC and Warner Bros. were looking to sign on Jaume Collet-Serra for Suicide Squad 2.
Warner Bros. has been looking into a director for Suicide Squad 2 for a while.
It was thought at first that Suicide Squad director David Ayer would be back for Suicide Squad 2, but instead he shifted over to Gotham City Sirens, a movie project that will predominantly feature Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy and Catwoman.
We’re not certain exactly where the deal was in terms of paperwork when Collet-Serra made his ultimate decision, but he will be doing Jungle Cruise instead of Suicide Squad 2, so something was obviously worked out.
