James Gunn is helming the follow-up to the 2016 film which focuses on the group of supervillains comprising of The Joker, Harley Quinn, Deadshot, El Diablo, Enchantress, and Killer Croc.

It was reported in February that Will Smith would not be able to reprise his role as Deadshot due to scheduling conflicts, but that Idris Elba would take over the character.

Now, Variety has claimed that Deadshot has been dropped from The Suicide Squad and that the Turn Up Charlie actor will be playing a new character that has yet to be announced. The move will thus keep the door open for Smith to return to the franchise in future.

It was also believed that Margot Robbie would not return as Harley Quinn, but that rumour was debunked; and it has been confirmed that Viola Davis will once again be playing Amanda Waller.

The Suicide Squad will hit screens on the 6th of August, 2021.

“I just know that they are working intensely on it.” said Kinnaman recently when asked about the sequel. “I know it’s a big priority at Warner Bros., but it’s an equally big priority to get it right. We all felt that we had lightning in a bottle, in a way, and it partly got away from us, a little bit. It’s really important to harness everything that was great about it, and then fix what didn’t really work. So, I know they’re working on it, and we’ll see. I’m very excited to read something, but I don’t have any new information.”

Ok, at least we know that there is something happening. In another recent interview, Kinnaman revealed that Suicide Squad 2 should have less extreme characters than the original.

“I think the characters are so extreme, so I think it could be more effective if we were seeing them with maybe less sorcery.” he said. “I think that the characters become more extreme if you see them in conjunction with more real people.”

The latest we got from Warner Bros. was that Gavin O’Connor (Miracle, Warrior, The Accountant) has been hired as a director and writer for the sequel in September 2017. Prior to that, Jared Leto confirmed he will return as a Joker in the movie. Although Suicide Squad 2 is still short of an exact release date, it is expected that we could see the movie in theaters in 2019.
