Warner Bros. courts Mel Gibson to direct #SuicideSquad sequel

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/he...courts-mel-gibson-suicide-squad-sequel-974436

Early in talks and he's familiarizing himself with the material

Variety says there are a few other candidates for the chair: Ruben Fleischer (“Zombieland”), Daniel Espinosa (“Safe House”), and Jonathan Levine (“Warm Bodies”).

 

[Bronx-Man]

Harley better stay away from Croc and Deadshot.

 

[Wingfan19]

WUT?

 

[Icolin]

What?

This can't be real, right? I like Mel's movies but he'd be a terrible choice for something like Suicide Squad.

 

[torre_avenue]

Wow.

I don't think much more needs to be said.

 

[D i Z]

He was just dogging SH flicks like last month. As good of a director as he is, I'm having a bit of trouble seeing a fit here. And memories aren't that short that his name doesn't still carry that stigma.

 

[andythinkpad]

LOL why not Lars Von Trier at this point?

 

[- J - D -]

Well all things being fair game I want Roman Polanski to direct Batman then.

 

[Nyanmaruz]

Isn't Gotham City Sirens enough? Do we really need a Suicide Squad 2?

 

[Baroquemantic]

Would this be a good thing?

 

[SummitAve]

And Scorsese is going to direct the next Deadpool movie.......

It's nice to want things.

 

[Whompa02]

Now that's the level of crazy I think I need in a D.C. Movie.

 

[Escape Goat]

Martin Scorsese presents Suicide Squad 2.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Isn't Gotham City Sirens enough? Do we really need a Suicide Squad 2?

Given it made some good money, DC definitely want another one.

 

[Busty]

WB wants Suicide Squad 2 to be crazy?

Who else but Mel?

 

[Killer Queen]

There's going to be a suicide squad 2? Lol

Spoiler

actually whyd I even ask

Would be nice if it was more interesting this time

Isn't Gotham City Sirens enough? Do we really need a Suicide Squad 2?

Also yeah, I thought this was the replacement

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

He's familiarizing himself with Suicide Squad, so he's probably serious and WB is seriously considering him.

How fucking crazy would this be

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Isn't Gotham City Sirens enough? Do we really need a Suicide Squad 2?

$$$

 

[old manatee]

They should just get the company that makes their trailers to do it.

 

[Gleethor]

I'm torn. Good director, awful person.

 

[Dabanton]

This would be something.

 

[Lashley]

Do it.

 

[Wingfan19]

I'm not sure how I feel about this.

 

[Icolin]

I'm torn. Good director, awful person.

Good director but he doesn't fit this at all.

This is like Terrence Malick making a new Smurfs movie or something.

 

[HStallion]

Personally I think they should get Werner Herzog. His insight into the connections formed between a team of lunatics and serial killers with super powers would be a nihilistic treat.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

They should just get the company that makes their trailers to do it.

That company literally did the editing of Suicide Squad, so we aren't too far off from that.

Spoiler

For the love of God do not do this WB.

 

[JJH]

 

[Chie Satonaka]

.

 

[Eggbok]

 

[B33]

What

Why

Stop

 

[nubbe]

It is perfect

 

[MMarston]

 

[BronsonLee]

You know...

If Ayer is doing Sirens...

Yeah I like this

 

[Busty]

I'd just like to say that everyone seems to have forgotten Robert Downey Jnr saying that Gibson was his choice to direct Iron Man 4.

Now, I'm not saying it's great idea..,

There's going to be a suicide squad 2? Lol

Why wouldn't they, the first film was a huge hit.

 

[Prompto]

"It’s a piece of sh–. I’m not interested in the stuff. Do you know what the difference between real superheroes and comic book superheroes is? Real superheroes didn’t wear spandex.
I look at them and scratch my head. I’m really baffled by it. I think there’s a lot of waste, but maybe if I did one of those things with the green screens I’d find out different,” he said. “It seems to me that you could do it for less… You’re spending outrageous amounts of money, $180 million or more, I don’t know how you make it back after the tax man gets you, and after you give half to the exhibitors. What did they spend on Batman v Superman that they’re admitting to?”

I don't think Mel Gibson will accept.

 

[Lifeline]

Hacksaw Ridge was amazing. Why would anyone be against this?

Mel Gibson's a great director, and he's probably one of the few who could make up for the shit we got last year

 

[faridmon]

At least its gonna be good.

 

[Sou Da]

I'm sure Deadshot and Killer Croc will be off with their own pack.

 

[plainr_]

Why Suicide Squad though?

 

[Into the Light]

Can you imagine this scene directed by Mel?

 

[Killer Queen]

As Suicide Squad's apparent resident defender as appointed by Duckroll I'll say this:
I don't want another Suicide Squad movie if it's more of #1. Leave that to Ayer and Gotham Sirens, and make an actual Suicide Squad movie.

 

[Slayven]

Nah I am good. I know contracts and shit but I would be disappointed if Will went along with taht

 

[Anung]

Personally I think they should get Werner Herzog. His insight into the connections formed between a team of lunatics and serial killers with super powers would be a nihilistic treat.

The crocodile man, who's very skin has hardened due to the burden of others knows not that consuming those whom he hates will not make him that which he longs to be.

Hell sign me up I want a Herzog sqwad movie.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

#GTBW

 

[Alienous]

I imagine him watching Suicide Squad and being so offended by its quality that he felt it was his duty to take control of a sequel.

 

[Schlorgan]

I'm sure Deadshot and Killer Croc will be off with their own pack.

Without Will Smith, what's the point?

 

[- J - D -]

A movie about villains directed by a real life Hollywood villain. It's like poetry.

 

[BronsonLee]

I'd just like to say that everyone seems to have forgotten Robert Downey Jnr saying that Gibson was his choice to direct Iron Man 4.

Which is hilarious if Marvel wouldn't do it even with Downey's backing, but WB gives no fucks

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Bye Will

 

[LionPride]

Welp, more reason to not watch this if it ever happens
