As production is looking to wind down on Batman
v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Warner Bros. is
currently reading its third DC Comics film of the
new era: Suicide Squad. The project is in some
ways an odd follow-up to Batman v Superman in
that it doesn’t really feature any of the characters
that casual fans might recognize, with Warner
Bros. instead saving Wonder Woman, Aquaman ,
etc. for after Suicide Squad. David Ayer, the
writer/director behind Fury and End of Watch, is
set to direct and is currently working on the
script, and casting has begun with Will Smith ,
Margot Robbie, and Tom Hardy all in talks to
play members of the titular group of
supervillains.
But now it looks like Warner Bros. is keen on
adding some connective tissue to Suicide Squad
that will make it feel more like a piece of the DC
Movie Universe, and it’s a pretty big development:
the studio is now in negotiations with Jesse
Eisenberg to bring his Lex Luthor character into
the Suicide Squad fold.
