Following news that Warner Bros. is planning an all female superhero movie featuring Harley Quinn, a new report states the studio is also looking at spinoffs for her fellow Suicide Squad teammates!
Fans of superhero movies are heavily anticipating the release of Suicide Squad this August, so it came as no surprise that Warner Bros. is already planning on a film featuring one of the Suicide Squad stars Harley Quinn as played by Margot Robbie.
A new report by We Got This Covered says that Warner Bros. is also looking at spinoffs for two other characters on the Suicide Squad team. The report teases, “They’re going to do a sequel for sure, and the recently announced spinoff with Margot Robbie has got everyone excited, too, but their plans don’t end there.”
So who will the other spinoffs reportedly feature? One is basically a no brainer: Jared Leto’s version of the Joker already has fans talking, though whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing remains to be seen. The actor definitely has big shoes to fill given how passionate fans are for the character and how loved Heath Ledger’s version of him was. It’s clear that Leto is going in a totally different direction, though, which could be great for Warner Bros. if fans end up falling in love with Leto’s version, too.
The report also states a second character they’re looking into: “They’re also really hot on Jai Courtney’s character Boomerang right now.” Boomerang definitely doesn’t have the built-in fan base like Harley Quinn and the Joker, so it’s an interesting move by Warner Bros. It will probably depend on the character’s reception in the film, but it could really pay off if it’s done right.
