The Accountant director Gavin O'Connor will reportedly take over as writer and director of Suicide Squad 2.

O'Connor, who is still developing a sequel to his Ben Affleck-starring action movie at Warner Bros., is in talks to direct the follow-up to David Ayer's DC Comics adaptation, which Warner hopes to get in front of cameras in 2018, per Variety.

Suicide Squad grossed nearly $750 millions worldwide and won an unprecedented Oscar (Best Makeup & Hairstyling) at the Academy Awards 2017 for superhero movie genre.

Yeah its really upsetting that the super-hero movies have been black balled from the oscars until this happened and it was pretty much like giving a dog scraps.....

*Wildcat* · 09-07-2017, 12:09 AM

Well the plot didn't make sense in the first but that was really the only problem. It was pretty cool and characters were well portrayed.

Just needs a better storyline. Have the superheroes get caught or something and the suicide squad is enlisted to take out the threat and rescue them.

It was very simple. I don't understand why they complicated it.

The sequel might feature Black Adam as the main villain.

Remember when Suicide Squad dealt with low level threats and was more a black ops team and it made sense because they were mostly humans with no powers and the ones that had powers and strange mutations could only take down street level heroes. They went from the mentioned to fighting Black Adam one of the most powerful people in the DC universe and has the powers of 7 gods.

I just wanted a better lineup of villains. Polka Dot Man? 2 appearances and the 2nd was a joke. Ratcatcher is not a young woman, but a man named Otis Flannegan. Why gender flip? Bronze Tiger, Plastique,Chronos, Poison Ivy, Dr. Light, Killer Frost. Heck, Trickster even though he was not a part of it like Killer Croc was not before. This lineup sucks! Sorry, had to get it out of my system. Maybe we can get a heroclix set based on the comic team.

This will be Margot Robbie's last film as Harley for a while, as she's burnt out on the role.

Good I am sick of her as Harley myself

*ZariusTwo* · 07-28-2021, 01:57 PM

Review is in

https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a3...-squad-review/

No references to Birds of Prey and no sequel hook building. Perfectly standalone, and all the better for it

~~AquaParade~~ · 07-28-2021, 03:52 PM

I will be interested if it's not just DC's Guardians of the Galaxy, with gore. Those films don't do much for me. Glad to see it is doing well though, because they gave Gunn a lot of freedom to do his thing and that's cool.

She can call it a break if she wants. There are presently no more Harley Quinn movies on the docket.

What a waste of a good character. And all, because, ****tards wanted to shoehorn "important messages into movies". Well, "go woke, go broke", as they say.

*Andrew NDB* · 08-06-2021, 06:36 PM

After Suicide Squad Harley Quinn should have appeared in a low key role in a Batman movie with the Joker, then something like Gotham City Sirens by now. Certainly not Birds of Prey (and a Birds of Prey that doesn't even f***ing have Barbara Gordon???) and certainly not making her some kind of role model for young women or a gravitational force for the DCEU.

Years later and we're only finally now getting a Batman movie and it has nothing to do with any other movies (also, it may end up being a woke thing). Dumb.

*NinjaPug* · 08-07-2021, 09:07 AM

That Peacemaker / Bloodsport competition scene at the camp killed me. I’ll definitely watch the Peacemaker show. Between this and Blockers I think Cena’s got some pretty good comedic acting chops.

Agreed that Ratcatcher stole the show - thought Polka-Dot Man did too.

*CyberCubed* · 08-07-2021, 10:17 AM

Movie had a lot of fun scenes mentioned, also when Harley was captured/tortured and then took everyone out in that building in the army base. Those were all great scenes. Harley's character was also at her best in this movie, it also shows how a good director can handle her, she wasn't that interesting in the first movie or the Birds of Prey movie. I think her actress also nailed Harley's smile in this movie too, it looked straight out of the comics or Injustice 2 videogame.

The final

Spoiler:

was great. The CG looked really good (this scene will age well even 10 years from now), and I liked the way they took it out.

Only one small thing I didn't like with Amanda Waller

Spoiler:

since IMO she would have actually wanted them to go back in the end of the movie. Amanda Waller is supposed to have a good heart under the cold exterior, so I wish that part didn't happen in the movie.

*ZariusTwo* · 08-07-2021, 02:04 PM

Annnnnnd it's bombed

Covid-19 and HBO Max were the double whammy for theater box office. Or people who just watch it online on illegal streaming websites which is likely millions of people.

*Coola Yagami* · 08-07-2021, 04:08 PM

So I take, despite the same actress, this Harley is not the same Harley from the first Suicide Squad/Birds of Prey?
