SUICIDE SQUAD 2 Lands A Writer In THE LEGEND OR TARZAN Scribe Adam Cozad
Though the search goes on for a director, Warner Bros. has found a writer to pen the script for the sequel to David Ayer's highly divisive supervillain team-up flick, Suicide Squad. More past the jump.
According to THR, Warner Bros. is in negotiations with The Legend of Tarzan writer Adam Cozad to pen the script for their Suicide Squad sequel. Cozad also wrote 2014’s Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, as well as Underwater, which is an adventure movie currently in development at Fox with Kristen Stewart attached to star.
The trade also confirms that the studio is still searching for a director to take over from David Ayer, and has "made overtures" to several filmmakers, including Mel Gibson. Apparently, they are primarily focused on nailing down the story first.
No word on which cast members are set to return, but it's assumed that Margot Robbie, Will Smith, and Jared Leto, at least, will reprise their roles.
