The magazine also confirmed that Deadshot won’t be part of the sequel, which will be directed by James Gunn, due to Smith’s scheduling conflicts. However, since Elba didn’t take over his role the Men in Black star might return to portray the character in future installments.

Suicide Squad 2, which will reportedly be a part sequel and part reboot, is expected to enter production in September with the release date being set for August 6, 2021. So far the only cast members confirmed to return from the original are Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang and Viola Davis as Agent Amanda Waller.

The original Suicide Squad movie was directed by David Ayer and centered on a DC’s supervillain team of the same name which gets recruited by the government to save the world from a powerful threat. Although the film received negative reviews from the critics, it ended up being a box-office success earning $746.8 million.

It turns out that there was some truth in these reports since Gunn is close to taking over the directorial duties on the project, according to Deadline. The sequel to 2016’s Suicide Squad is scheduled for release on August 6th, 2021.

The original Suicide Squad movie followed a group of villains – Deadshot, Harley Quinn, the Joker, Captain Boomerang and Killer Croc – as they are forced to use their skills to help humanity for a change and save the world from impending disaster. While the movie ended up being slammed by the critics, it was a big hit at the box office and prompted Warner Bros. to consider a sequel.

While Suicide Squad 2 has been in the works for some time now, we didn’t receive plenty of news about the project besides Gunn’s involvement. There are rumors, however, that the movie will focus on an entirely different lineup of characters, and that actors from the original won’t reprise their roles.

James Gunn is best known for his involvement in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and his directorial and writing efforts on blockbuster hits Guardians of the Galaxy and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Marvel Studios, however, decided to fire Gunn due to his controversial tweets last year and Warner Bros. immediately jumped on the opportunity to involve him with their DC projects.
