Whoever is next in line after Collet-Serra, Warner Bros. needs to lock in a director soon so that Suicide Squad 2 can move forward.
Fortunately, for the studio, director names like Jonathan Levine (Warm Bodies) have been floated around as potential helmers for Suicide Squad 2 – so at least with the loss of Collet-Serra, Warner Bros. won’t have to start over from scratch in their search.
Warner Bros. is back to searching for a Suicide Squad 2, now that previous frontrunner Jaume Collet-Serra has instead signed on to direct Dwayne Johnson’s Jungle Cruise movie for Disney.
Instead of worrying about the foundation Ayer laid for Suicide Squad, perhaps Collet-Serra should have concentrated how he could make the potential franchise his own.
