The DC franchise seems to have a lot of things toppled on its plate including canceled projects marring the studio’s reputation and controversies following certain actors, to name a few. And with everyone around claiming DC to be “in shambles” is certainly of no help either. But luckily enough for the franchise, James Gunn is proving to be their savior.
Even though Batgirl got canceled, Gunn’s promising work with regard to the second season of Peacemaker has restored the balance amongst fans. He even reassured fans by hinting that the filming of season 2 would soon take place in a few months.
Yet another project Gunn has currently going on is that of The Suicide Squad. And though there’s no significant timeline that the filmmaker has given us to hold onto, he still seems to be exploring his options with regard to the movie’s aspects. However, there had been various rumors about the movie but it seems like Gunn was quick and sharp to turn them down.

So, what is the fate of The Suicide Squad going to be?
Currently, the writer-director behind The Suicide Squad has made it abundantly clear as to what all projects he has taken up and where his focus is going to be in the present.
Not only is there no concrete proof that a third movie is going to be in the works anytime soon, but Gunn himself is unsure about whether or not the next Suicide Squad movie will be based entirely around the original Squad.
For the time being, he has done his part in clarifying that there might not be a Suicide Squad threequel in the forseeable future, but he has certainly promised DC fans with a fresh season of Peacemaker. And if there’s one thing Gunn is sure of, it’s about keeping his word to his fans.
