Disney lost.

17.5 billion dollars down the drain just like that.

Life comes at you fast.

 

[Wingfan19]

Damn I thought this thing was near about to shoot, I remember all the dudes in the cast posting a picture a few months ago working out together, figured it was for Suicide Squad 2

Click to shrink...

They weren't gonna shoot this till Fall of 2019.

 

[CopyOfACopy]

that's one way to ape the GotG movies

 

[Gravity Insanity]

This is huge if true.

 

[Deleted member 36054]

He's got some work to do.

But like I said, he would be fine...

Disney will be fine too.

if they kept will smith and margot robbie and paired them with gunn and a fresh cast... that could work really well

 

[astro]

There was nothing wrong with the base of SS, it was all in the bad writing, and story, and villains... most things that Gunn could probably fix if given enough control.

It would certainly be interesting to see...

 

[Nightwing123]

This is an amazing get and I am so in for this. The first Suicide Squad movie has decent enough characters it just needs better writing and actually good director which is something James Gunn can fulfill.

 

[Deleted member 4260]

Lmao that's amazing.

 

[zsynqx]

haha perfect

[Mr. Fantastic]

Keep Margot and Will, dump the rest and do your thing. It'll be as good as a reboot, that's the beauty with the #Skwad.

 

[Firewithin]

while this is good sounding news but i thought they already had writer/director lined up?

 

[Seesaw15]

He's got his work cut out for him with the kind of salvage job he has to do after the first.

Click to shrink...

After Venom's reception I don't know. He just needs to pick a better soundtrack( which he's good at) and make sure the villains interesting. Audiences will love anything with Harley Quinn.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

He's gon drop the BIGGEST offensive jokes in here huh

 

[Aprikurt]

Like seeing your ex with a new guy.

Hope Disney are feeling that remorse...

 

[BuryAllen]

but what about the feud between leto and gunn

 

[Deleted member 887]

You don't need to use the same characters, that's kind of the point of the team in the comics. They are by definition expendable. I hope they bring back Deadshot and Boomerang at least the rest I can do without.

Click to shrink...

They will most certainly bring back Deadshot and Harley.

 

[Ploid 6.0]

Holy moley ! And what character can Dave Batista play? :D

 

[Pai Pai Master]

What a fucking shitshow. Good job Horn.

 

[Flaurehn]

Gunn adapting assault in Arkham would be a dream come true

 

[mreddie]

Pure irony, make a movie that was made thanks to GOTG and now, will get the director of it

Fucking Alan Horn

 

[Praetorpwj]

Give him a Batman villain movie

Click to shrink...

Seduction of the Gunn?

 

[wbloop]

The only one who could save Guardians 3 now would be Edgar Wright, imho. But I'm not even sure if I would see Guardians 3 either way, after what Disney has done.

 

[coolasj19]

I call this a net positive. DC gets to have one more movie per cycle that won't deflate me.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

i would much rather him start from scratch at DC instead of starting with the mess of SS1

give him the Omega Men

Click to shrink...

Read the OP. He can do whatever he wants with it.

 

[Twstr709]

I am so in for this.

 

[effingvic]

Hope this outperforms GoTG3

Will Bautista get a role in this one

 

[HotTakeCakes]

Writing and directing? Count me in.

 

[Strafer]

Zack Snyder to direct Guardians 3

 

[-JD-]

James Gunn on a DC property? :D

That property being Suicide Squad 2? :/

Remembering that these characters exist in the DCEU? :P

 

[Ocean Bones]

Now if aquaman is good, with ww2 and afleck and cavil staying around and no more snyder verse, dcu could be on track finaly.

 

[Cocamantis]

Yo Disney board of directors: go suck a dick. Enjoy your political correctness.


Gunn could absolutely NAIL that movie.

 

[PlanetSmasher]

Good fucking job, Marvel. Not only do you lose Gunn to the competition, you lose him to a shitty franchise like Suicide Squad.

Poor Gunn. I still feel bad for the guy.

 

[mavericktopgun]

A second one? The first was one of the worst movies ever.

 

[Hydeus]

Wow.

lmao hella problematic joker incoming.

dude who makes pedo jokes gonna make a movie about a bunch of criminals....

 

[legacyzero]

You deserve this shit, Disney. DC needs more good talent honestly

 

[Deleted member 3815]

Aw man, I liked seeing the DCEU being a joke. Thanks a lot Disney and the alt-right idiots. >:'(

Doubt Leto's coming back.

 

[jon bones]

Read the OP. He can do whatever he wants with it.

Click to shrink...

i did - he's still saddled with a lot, but if they treat it like a soft reboot with only will smith and margot robbie that's a potential billion dollar 90+% rt movie right there

 

[NewDonkStrong]

Dave Bautista for Bane plz!

 

[Cyprinodon Martius]

OH YES PLEASE!

It made more WW than Man of Steel.

 

[Officer Big Mac]

It's my exclusive. I broke the news to everyone first.

 

[lordg]

Won't be watching this, first suicide squad was bad, nothing can save this franchise.

 

[Molto]

Hot damn! Never thought I'd say this but Suicide Squad 2 has the potential of being amazing.

 

[Scullibundo]

Deadline now reporting it as an exclusive. So they would have confirmation.
