Suicide Squad 2 may become the first choice for horror movies. The director once directed Orphan

According to foreign media reports, Jaume Serra, who has directed films such as "Orphan", "Sky Rescue" and "The Shallows", is now Warner's first choice for "Suicide Squad 2". Prior to this, the script of the film has been confirmed to be written by Adam Cozad, the screenwriter of "Tarzan Returns: The Return of the Jungle".

Although the first part of "Suicide Squad" directed by David Ayer grossed $745 million worldwide, the quality of the film was criticized by critics and fans. The film was shortlisted for the top ten worst films of the year in many authoritative lists last year, and was nominated for several Golden Raspberry Awards. DC also urgently needs a director like Nolan who is more capable of controlling the overall situation to take on the responsibility and turn the situation around.

Warner has contacted many director candidates. In addition to Jaume Collet-Serra, Mel Gibson, "Alien Awakens" director Daniel Espinosa, and "Batman: The Dark Knight" and "Man of Steel" screenwriter David S. Goyer have all been rumored to be possible directors of this film.

Considering DC's busy filming schedule, the start time of "Suicide Squad 2" is still uncertain. In addition, Will Smith will play the leading role in Ang Lee's "Gemini Man" and voice the genie in Disney's live-action version of "Aladdin". According to insiders, Warner will strive to start filming before March next year.

Jaume Collette is from Spain and is very good at horror, thriller and suspense film genres. His representative works include "The Shallows", "Dark Night", "Sony", "Unknown", "Orphan" and "House of Wax".
