The Suicide Squad was previously known as Suicide Squad 2, the follow up to 2016’s Suicide Squad. James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy) is writing the script for the film, which may not be a conventional sequel. It’s one of Gunn’s first projects since he was fired by Disney for offensive tweets he wrote over a decade ago. Gunn’s scripting duties also give him the option to direct The Suicide Squad, but he hasn’t revealed if he plans to helm the film.
It’s unclear if Margot Robbie will return for The Suicide Squad, because she is one of the main characters in the Birds of Prey movie. But her return is not out of the question. Presumably, Will Smith and the majority of the cast will reprise their roles for The Suicide Squad.
