Of course, the DCEU timeline wasn’t the only thing changed during the Suicide Squad creative process.
For Suicide Squad 2, however, the directing reins have been passed to Gavin O’Connor, though the project was recently delayed due to Will Smith’s schedule.
Whenever Suicide Squad 2 gets off the ground, let’s hope there aren’t any more of these sudden DCEU timeline changes, especially concerning Batman’s greatest enemy.
In the end, while Suicide Squad wasn’t a critical hit, it was successful commercially, enough for Warner Bros to order a sequel.
