[RUMOR] Suicide Squad 2 Isn't Starting Production Until Fall 2018

Warner Bros is making some interesting decisions regarding their DC movies recently. We had a Joker movie announced, a Joker and Harley movie announced, a soft confirmation that Gotham City Sirens is still a thing, and then that Suicide Squad 2 was being fast tracked.

That last one might not be happening as fast as Warner Bros would like, according to a new rumor shared by Justin Knoll of Variety.

So hearing at the earliest, SUICIDE SQUAD 2 won't go in to production until fall 2018 because of Smith's schedule with ALADDIN and GEMINI

The fact that the movie is looking at a 2019 release date, at the earliest, if that production happens, Knoll points out that there could be other issues.

If that film doesn't even go in to production till late 2018, when exactly would this HARLEY-JOKER spin-off happen.

DC isn't like Marvel where actors are locked for like 7 films, does any1 think Jared and Margot would go straight into these roles again

It's just something to think about when people ask the likelihood of that film happening anytime soon

We brought this up when the Joker and Harley movie was announced; unless Harley and the Joker have either no role or a minimal role, Margot Robbie and Jared Leto would have to film two movies back to back. This schedule is a mess and there doesn't seem to be any way to fix it.

Aside from making movies about other DC characters. But why would we do that?
