Will We See More ‘Suicide Squad’ Spinoffs?

After Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice’s less than expected outcome, Warner Bros. and DC still have David Ayer’s upcoming Suicide Squad in the funnel, hoping it will receive better results.

A source told WeGotThisCovered.com that Warner Bros. is now planning to spin off the film into a variety of projects – including a sequel.

“They’re going to do a sequel for sure, and the recently announced spinoff with Margot Robbie has got everyone excited, too, but their plans don’t end there. The studio is feeling very confident in the property. They think it’s going to be a really big hit and they think audiences are going to fall in love with these characters.

I’ve heard more than a few talks of giving some of the other Task Force X members their own spinoffs, and like the Harley Quinn one, these films would open the door for a ton of new DC characters to show up.

The Joker is a definite possibility for a spinoff, and Jared [Leto] seems up for it from what I’ve been told. They’re also really hot on Jai Courtney’s character Boomerang right now. Nothing’s set in stone yet, but you’re definitely going to be seeing a lot more of these guys in the years to come.”

Suicide Squad, starring Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto, Jai Courtney, Joel Kinnaman, Cara Delevingne, Viola Davis, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Adam Beach, Jay Hernandez and Karen Fukuhara, hits theaters on August 5th.
