So, if Warner Bros. is only able to get one Harley Quinn-related project in the can this year, they want it to be Birds of Prey, not Suicide Squad 2.
And now, with a script and a director attached, Birds of Prey is looking to start filming later this year, perhaps in the same slot Suicide Squad 2 was previously placed in.
There are multiple reasons for Suicide Squad 2‘s production delay; the main reason being that Warner Bros. seems to be prioritizing Birds of Prey.
Variety’s Justin Kroll reports on Twitter that Suicide Squad 2 may start filming in 2019 now.
