The news that Mel Gibson is in talks to take the helm of Suicide Squad 2 came as a massive shock, but it also just so happens to be a very exciting thought for fans. We already know that talks are in the very early stages, of course, but now the actor and filmmaker has weighed in on exactly where things currently stand between him and Warner Bros. 

Unfortunately, it's not the most positive of updates, but it definitely sounds like he's interested even if he hasn't signed on the dotted line just yet. "I don't know. I just met some guys about story points. It's not a done deal or anything. But it's just fun to shoot the bull when it comes to stories. And if we can elevate any kind of concept it's good. We'll see."

It's interesting the studio already has some story ideas in mind, and with any luck, Enchantress will be nowhere to be seen in that! Suicide Squad 2 currently has no release date, but assuming this deal closes relatively quickly, we'll hopefully hear more on that soon. Would you guys like to see Gibson at the helm of the DC Comics adaptation?

The matter is if he agrees he has to be locked down and kept, repeating the mistakes that have been with the still-searching-for-a-director quest for The Flash film or even the slight with The Batman would send a pretty bad image.

Sooooo does Melly actually know anything about Suicide Squad or is just shooting the bull about how to properly write a story and how to make a movie?
I just don't see him knowing much about any characters, but I can see him being great technically with directing.
