Warner Bros. Pictures and DC have chosen The Accountant director Gavin O’Connor to helm the sequel to Suicide Squad.
The decision ends a lengthy search to replace the first film’s David Ayer who is now focused on spin-off Gotham City Sirens.
Will Smith, Margot Robbie and Jared Leto are all expected to return for the follow-up to last year’s DC villain team-up movie which grossed $745 million worldwide.
As previously reported, John Requa and Glenn Ficarra are also slated to direct a separate spinoff for Leto’s Joker and Robbie’s Harley Quinn
