James Gunn Shifting to DC, Will Write (and Possibly Direct) SUICIDE SQUAD 2
Taking all controversy aside for a second, this is something that I find highly ironic, even though there is nothing weird about a director and writer going from one ship to the next (normally).

Well, it looks like it was creative differences that made him fall back, according to…

According to That Hashtag Show, Affleck not only met with Warner Bros. executives, but possibly Jack O’Connell (Godless) too. So could this meeting have been about a potential replacement…
