French director Jaume Collet-Serra, who helmed the Liam Neeson actioner Non-Stop, as well as last year’s intense shark thriller The Shallows, may be heading to Warner Brothers for the Suicide Squad sequel. Variety reports that Collet-Serra is the favourite to take the director’s chair for Suicide Squad 2, which will see the return of Will Smith and Margot Robbie as Deadshot and Harley Quinn respectively.
The studio reportedly wants to kick the film into gear for the first quarter of 2018, but Collet-Serra is also attached to a movie revolving around the infamous Waco events. That project was announced recently and is set up at Annapurna, while the filmmakers also has the incoming Liam Neeson-led movie The Commuter set for cinemas very soon.
Smith’s schedule is also jam-packed. He will lead the cast of the Ang Lee-directed Gemini Man, and also play the Genie in Disney’s live-action version of Aladdin. Robbie will next be seen in the Tonya Harding movie I, Tonya, and also has period drama Mary, Queen Of Scots, and the Suicide Squad spin-off Gotham City Sirens, which will be helmed by ‘Squad’ director David Ayer. She will next be see in A.A. Milne biopic Goodbye Christopher Robin.
