We've heard rumblings that James Gunn might be working on a second The Suicide Squad spinoff, and the filmmaker has now confirmed that another show is indeed in the early stages of development for HBO Max. Unfortunately, he wasn't about to reveal which character it'll focus on!

“We’re working on something else now, another TV show that’s connected to that universe,” Gunn told Deadline from the set of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. “I can’t say anything," he added when prodded for more. "It is connected to this universe, and I don’t think it will be the same genre as Peacemaker; it won’t be as much a comedy as Peacemaker, but it will be in the same universe.”

There have been rumors that Bloodsport might be in line for his own series, but the trade notes that Idris Elba's schedule probably wouldn't allow him to squeeze in a new TV show - ditto Margot Robbie. Given the character's popularity, our money is on Daniel Melchior's Ratcatcher II, but that's pure speculation at this point.

Gunn also weighed in on the prospect of Peacemaker getting a second season, and he certainly sounds optimistic. “There’s a really good chance of that,” he said. “We’re the biggest show in the world right now. We’re excited, we all like doing it, we just need to cross some ‘T’s and dot some ‘I’s, which is basically me.”

Which surviving member of Task Force X would you most like to see get their own spinoff show? Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place.

@eGGtheGreat - yep at least since Nolan but I prefer Gunn’s stuff to Nolan’s. Gunn can just write he’s on a roll right now. Hyped for Guardians 3

@dracula - Honestly barring Rick Flag rising from the dead nothing else seems possible given the actors involved.

I wish there's more of N.F's TDK down the line. I doubt he'd be able to hold a series on his own (as a character, not as an actor of course), but he'd fit right in Peacemaker's show!

Who would have thought Peacemaker of all shows would be the most critically acclaimed DC property, and so rightfully so. ✌🏽🦅

Hopefully more Bloodsport and Ratchatcher. They had an awesome dynamic in the film.

Not as much of a comedy makes me think he will hand the reigns to someone else. Unless he will do it’s and really reign in the dick jokes.

It’s definitely gonna be a really obscure character.

@BlackBeltJones - he will direct episodes just like he did for Peacemaker and some will be directed elsewhere. I’m sure Gunn can reel in his comedic antics when it comes to his screenwriting if he WANTS to.

It's gotta be Bloodsport, right? I'm rooting for Bloodsport.

It's a Fincher-esque dark and gritty thriller series about a pair of Corto Maltesian cops investigating a series of horrific child murders.
