Production[]
There were early plans for a sequel to the 2016 Suicide Squad film even before it was released with David Ayer expected to return as director despite the extreme difficulty of the production process of filming. Due to the financial success of the film despite being derided by many critics; several spin-off films featuring Deadshot and Harley Quinn starring Will Smith and Margot Robbie respectively were immediately green lit for production and a sequel film, tentatively titled Suicide Squad 2 was subsequently announced in 2017. However, Ayers was critical of the studio interference of his script and filming for the original film and had lobbied hard for an R-Rated film for the sequel.
