SUICIDE SQUAD 2 Unlikely To Start Shooting Until Fall 2018 - Here's Why

Filed Under: The Suicide Squad

When we first heard about that planned movie featuring Harley Quinn and The Joker, it was mentioned that both characters would appear in Suicide Squad 2, a sequel being fast-tracked by Warner Bros. That led many to wonder if it might be with us by late 2018 or early 2019 but things have clearly changed.

As you can see in the Tweet below, Variety's Justin Kroll has revealed that the movie is unlikely to go into production until Fall 2018 at the soonest. That's all because Will Smith has a busy 2018 which will see him shooting Disney and Guy Ritchie's Aladdin reboot and the upcoming sci-fi movie Gemini Man.

This does make sense, especially when you take into account the fact that the rumoured timeline for Suicide Squad 2 popped up before Smith was announced before both of those movies and Jaume Collet-Serra decided to pass on directing it for Warner Bros. Now, it's currently without a director.

Are you guys excited for the Suicide Squad sequel? As always, let us know your thoughts down below.

So hearing at the earliest, SUICIDE SQUAD 2 won't go in to production until fall 2018 because of Smith's schedule with ALADDIN and GEMINI

"SUICIDE SQUAD 2 Unlikely To Start"

That sentence could end as is, and I'm completely fine with it.

noahthegrand - 8/30/2017, 3:50 AM

@CipherGuard - Deathstroke would disarm the bomb and escape

CaptainElrond - 8/30/2017, 3:52 AM

@noahthegrand - Deathstroke would [frick]ing take the bomb, stick it up waller arse and kaboom.

bkmeijer2 - 8/30/2017, 3:41 AM

I dont understand why they are fast tracking it. The first movie wasnt a critical success

Kyos - 8/30/2017, 3:54 AM
