Warner Bros. has reportedly engaged in early talks with filmmaker Mel Gibson to direct the studio’s Suicide Squad sequel.
A report from August claimed that David Ayer started writing the Suicide Squad 2 screenplay back in July, with Warner Bros. planning a spring 2017 shoot for the superhero sequel.
Many fans wondered if this would even happen at all, after Suicide Squad director David Ayer came aboard to direct another Warner Bros./DC project, Gotham City Sirens, which features Margot Robbie reprising her Suicide Squad role as Harley Quinn.
A report from December revealed that a Suicide Squad sequel is still in the works, although it was believed at the time that David Ayer would simply make Gotham City Sirens first, before moving on to Suicide Squad 2.
