“SUICIDE SQUAD 2” in the works

Although “Suicide Squad” hit theaters to mixed reviews, the movie made a lot of money, with its large ensemble cast of characters appealing to DC fans.  With that in mind, it's no big surprise that DC and Warner Bros. are thinking about making a sequel to the original, and it may get off of the ground sooner than expected. 

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Joel Kinnaman revealed “Suicide Squad 2” is already in the works and being written, and could get a release date much sooner than anticipated. Kinnaman has also expressed interest in having “Suicide Squad” director David Ayer back to direct the project if he is able, although there's been no official announcement on the director front yet.

“As far as I know they're writing the script and I think the plan is to shoot it sometime in 2018, but that could change. I think I'll definitely come back for it,” said Joel Kinnaman, who plays Rick Flag in “Suicide Squad”.

DC's movie dates have been fluid lately; with Wonder Woman currently in theatres and Justice League on track for its November 17 release, “The Flash” solo movie, which was expected to happen in the spring of 2018, is off the DC schedule as it's currently without a director. “Aquaman,” which was also pushed back, has moved into production and is expected to hit theatres in late 2018. The release dates for other announced projects have not been fixed yet, so it is yet unclear where “Suicide Squad 2” could fit in.
