While I think that the Suicide Squad could've been better, I think it was still a fun watch and one of the better films from the DCEU. One of the reasons that the movie was such a success was due in no small part to Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn. People were so enamored by her, that (if rumors are to be believed) she'll be getting her own "solo" movie. I used quotes for "solo" because the last I heard the movie was going to be called Gotham City Sirens, and while Harley Quinn will be the main focus of the film, Catwoman and Poison Ivy are also rumored to be showing up in the movie, too. The problem is, with Harley getting her own movie, it doesn't look like she'll be appearing in the sequel to Suicide Squad. But never fear, DC and Warner Brothers have a backup character for the Squad's second go round...at least according to the DC Leaks section on Reddit (so take all of this with a grain of salt!).
There were a couple of things that were being "reported" about Suicide Squad 2. The first one said that while Mel Gibson had been mentioned as the director for the film, he's out, and either Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland) or Jaume Collet-Serra (The Shallows) will take over the director's chair. Also, David Ayer is currently writing the script and if everything comes together fast enough, then Suicide Squad 2 could replace Aquaman on it's current release date.
The last thing that they said was that Killer Frost was going to be joining "Task Force X" for the sequel. Now, the person that announced this didn't say if Killer Frost would be appearing along side Harley Quinn, or if she'd be replacing her as the female lead of the group. Her inclusion isn't that surprising, she's been known to be a team member of Task Force X in the comic books, and would definitely give the DCEU some more strong female characters to work with in future projects, something that Marvel has been lagging at in all of their movies.
So...what? Do you think that this sounds creditable? Do you think DC would push Harley out of Suicide Squad 2 with Killer Frost, or do you think they'll be fighting side by side in the sequel? Let me know your thoughts in the comments section down below.
