Suicide Squad
James Gunn says he ’s spoken toSuicide Squaddirector David Ayer about his plan for the upcoming sequel , The Suicide Squad . Far from being a bankruptcy , Ayer’sSuicide Squadgrossed $ 747 million worldwide and take home an Oscar for its makeup and hairstyling . It was also a critical bomb calorimeter and infamously suffered from studio apartment interference , so few were surprised when Ayer passed on returning for the followup .
Even after everything that happened , Ayer once intended to proceed playing in the Worlds of DC by directingGotham City Sirens , a spinoff focalise on Harley Quinn ( Margot Robbie ) and her fellow antiheroines . Instead , Robbie will generate as Harley in February’sBirds of Prey ( And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn ) , and reprise the theatrical role a third clip in Gunn’sThe Suicide Squadin 2021 . Ayer , meanwhile , appears to have moved on from the DC movie universe , and is focusing on other projects now .

In a recentInstagramQ&A ( h / tCinema Blend ) , Gunn revealed he ’s spoken to Ayer about his plan forThe Suicide Squad , saying"David Ayer is a great cat [ and ] we have discussed and I ’ve evidence him what we ’re up to with The Suicide Squad at least a little bit " . Ayer has likewise spoken highly of Gunn in the past , having expressed his sureness the filmmaker"will make something amazing"with theSuicide Squadsequel earlier this year in a tweet - one where he also admitted his frustration about being blamed for thechanges Warner Bros. ordered to his original vision forSuicide Squad .
By reaching out to him , Gunn was undoubtedly able to assure Ayer he is n’t seek to disinherit or cut the originalSuicide Squadwith his sequel . He ’s already signaled as much by fetch back Harley and characters like Rick Flag ( Joel Kinnaman ) , Amanda Waller ( Viola Davis ) , and Captain Boomerang ( Jai Courtney ) to maintain a strong good sense of continuity between the two picture . Still , with all the talk aboutThe Suicide Squad ’s more comedic toneand producer Peter Safran confusinglyreferring to the labor as a"total reboot"earlier this year , it would ’ve been easy for Ayer to get that printing , had Gunn not utter to him .
The hope isThe Suicide Squadwill as well find a way to honour what peopledidenjoy about the theatrical gash ofSuicide Squad , while at the same time put a fresh twisting on the holding and giving it a new lease on lifespan . And so far , it appear to be on its means to doing that , with Gunn show respect forAyer and his original originative intentionsin more way than one .
