SUICIDE SQUAD Sequel Being Developed Alongside A DEADSHOT Solo Movie
David Ayer may be tied up with Gotham City Sirens, but that doesn't mean the Suicide Squad movie is dead! Hit the jump for details on that and Warner Bros. big plans for Will Smith's Deadshot...
Following the news that David Ayer will direct Margot Robbie in Gotham City Sirens, The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Warner Bros. is still developing a Suicide Squad sequel. There's no word on when it will happen or who will be at the helm, but this news should hardly come as a surprise considering the fact that the movie made $745.6 million despite a wave of overwhelmingly negative reviews.
Interestingly, the trade adds that the studio is also developing a Deadshot spinoff starring Will Smith, though Gotham City Sirens is the project which is currently furthest along, hence why it's on the fast-track. Once again, it has no been revealed when that movie starts shooting or who might direct it.
Deadshot is a movie which could head in any number of directions, and considering the fact that Smith was praised for his performance just as much as Robbie was, this makes a lot of sense! Which of these upcoming projects are you most looking forward to? Let us know your thoughts in the usual place.
