Variety: Warner Bros. targeting 'Suicide Squad 2' production for 2017

March 2, 2016

Tonight news broke that Suicide Squad director David Ayer is reteaming with Will Smith for a new movie called Bright. Variety reports that the project will likely end up at Warner Bros., though Sony is a possibility too. But there was some interesting Batman news buried in that story as well!

According to Variety, the hope is to get production rolling on Bright this year in order to get both Ayer and Smith ready for a Suicide Squad sequel shoot by 2017.

Suicide Squad isn't out until August, and it sounds like Warner Bros. is already planning a sequel. That's great news, and means they're very confident in the movie.

I honestly think Suicide Squad could be the best non-Dark-Knight Trilogy comic book movie ever!

Great news indeed! I think the movie's going to be very popular. My wife's not big on comic book movies but she can't wait until SS comes out.

Hell Yessss
That first test screening must've been epic beyond words to already have a sequel in the works. And now it's becoming more and more clear why the other comic book movie studios are doing fake badpress hit jobs on BvS. They are terrified because they know what's coming, they know Doomsday is right around the corner

The trailers have been great but this is also the same studio that planned a sequel to Green Lantern and Superman Returns. I'll remain cautiously optimistic because I really like what I've seen so far.

The best part is that WB is no longer listening to the riffraff as Batman V Superman approaches it is becoming increasingly clear that WB is behind Zack Snyder and Terrios vision. Also while BVS may do well and be a hit the positive energy surrounding it will be transferred to Suicide Squad and push that film even further towards success. Especially since the Skwad's marketing campaign behind is comparable to the likes of Deadpool.

I love that WB has confident in their directors and their works. Ayer is an amazing director, underrated. Will also for the two.

No, kids. More
like "people who know they're losing at WB believe they can force the
powers that be to go ahead with failed projects if it's been announced." DC Comics tries it also. Getting Hollywood Reporter to run a story does not stop
anyone from flushing it as soon as it's a commercial failure. If BvS
bombs half as bad as it's projected to, most of what's announced will
never happen.
