Cast, release date, plot and everything you need to know
David Ayer’s Suicide Squad caused quite the buzz when it came out in 2016. Critics hated it but audiences were more receptive and it made $750 million.
Well Harley Quinn and her misbehaving pals are coming back. Can Warner Bros get it right this time? Will Harley find an outfit that offers a modicum of protection in a fight? Here’s everything we know.

Suicide Squad 2 release date: When’s it out?
IMDb lists the film as coming out in 2019. There’s no official confirmation of that, and it’s looking increasingly unlikely.
It has been reported that Suicide Squad 2 was being fast-tracked (along with another DCEU movie, Shazam) by Warner Bros. although Recent reports claim the film is being delayed in favour of another Harley Quinn-starring team movie, Birds of Prey.
Filming on Suicide Squad 2 was rumoured to begin in March 2018, which has been and gone.

Suicide Squad 2 cast: Who’s in it?
There are some characters we would be happy to see return for the Suicide Squad sequel and others we would rather forget.
Will Smith, Margot Robbie and Jared Leto are widely reported to be returning as Deadshot, Harley Quinn and the Joker. Joel Kinnaman has said that he expects to reprise his role as government agent Rick Flag.
Cara Delevingne will not be back as Enchantress, which we’re totally okay with (sorry Cara, but your villain sucked).
No word on Karen Fukuhara (Katana), Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Killer Croc) or Jai Courtney (Captain Boomerang). There are even rumours that Jay Hernandez (El Diablo) could come back somehow after his explosive exit in the original film.
Dwayne Johnson is also being rumoured to make his debut as Shazam! villain Black Adam in the movie.

Suicide Squad 2 director: Who’s filming it?
Suicide Squad director David Ayer won’t be back for a second run on DC’s government-sponsored team of villains, choosing Gotham City Sirens’ “story about three fantastic women who’re trying to find their way in the world” instead. Warner Bros have finally settled on Gavin O’Connor. O’Connor has already worked with the DCEU’s Batman Ben Affleck on The Accountant. His other credits include Warrior and Jane Got a Gun.
The Legend of Tarzan’s Adam Cozad worked on the screenplay at one point, and most recently actor Todd Stashwick (Heroes, The Originals, 12 Monkeys) revealed that he was working on a draft with David Bar Katz and O’Connor.

Suicide Squad 2 plot: What’s it about?
We know next to nothing about Suicide Squad 2’s plot at the moment, but you can make a good deal of educated guesses.
The plot will probably follow the basic outline of all Suicide Squad stories. Amanda Waller dispatches her team on a mission where it’s doubtful that they will make it out alive. Cue the double crossing.

Suicide Squad 2 trailer: When can I see it?
Not yet, at any rate. The script’s not even been written, so don’t expect a teaser till late 2018/early 2019. But bookmark this page and keep checking in, because you’ll see it here the moment it’s up.
