After the (financial) success of Suicide Squad last year, Warner Bros. put a sequel into development, along with spinoff film Gotham City Sirens and maybe a Deadshot movie. The studio has been courting a number of directors to replace David Ayer, who is now doing Sirens.

The script is being written by The Legend of Tarzan‘s Adam Cozad. Now, we have an idea of when the sequel begins shooting. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Rick Flag actor Joel Kinnaman confirms that he is likely returning for…
