Director David Ayer’s Suicide Squad debuted in theaters last August, with a main crew that includes such classic DC villains as Joker (Jared Leto).
Rick Flagg actor Joel Kinnaman says the script for Suicide Squad 2 is being written, with plans to shoot the DC Extended Universe movie’s sequel in 2018.
Of course, before Kinnaman or any other Suicide Squad cast members can see their hopes for the sequel come to pass, the production needs to lock in a director.
Earlier this year, Mel Gibson confirmed he was in talks to direct the Suicide Squad sequel, but nothing has happened with the Oscar-winning filmmaker since then – even though he is reportedly the studio’s first choice for the job.
