During this week’s edition of MTMP, seasoned reporter Jeff Sneider named-dropped Jaume-Collet Serra as being another director who is in the mix to direct the Suicide Squad sequel, at the moment.
With Ayer being set to direct Gotham City Sirens next, WB/DC are now searching for a director to serve at the helm of Suicide Squad 2 in Ayer’s place.
Oscar-winning director Mel Gibson is the most buzzed-about contenders among the potential Suicide Squad helmsmen, being fresh off directing last year’s Oscar-winning WWII drama/thriller, Hacksaw Ridge.
Collet-Serra is perhaps best known for his many B-movie action/thriller collaborations with actor Liam Neeson, as well as last year’s Blake Lively-headlined suspense/thriller, The Shallows.
