SUICIDE SQUAD Spinoff Films Could Also Include The Joker and Captain Boomerang
Not long ago we learned that Warner Bros. was developing a Harley Quinn spinoff movie with Margot Robbie. This is something that seemed to get fans very excited. That movie is said to include a few female villains from the DC universe. It looks like Harley Quinn won't be the only character to get a spinoff movie from Task Force X.
According to We Got This Covered, two other characters that could get their own films include Jared Leto's The Joker and Jai Courtney's Captain Boomerang. The report says:
"The Joker is a definite possibility for a spinoff, and Jared [Leto] seems up for it from what I’ve been told. They’re also really hot on Jai Courtney’s character Boomerang right now. Nothing’s set in stone yet, but you’re definitely going to be seeing a lot more of these guys in the years to come."
There's no official confirmation of this, so we will treat this as a rumor for now. But, it wouldn't surprise to see spinoff films for any of the villainous characters that make up Task Force X. You know the executives at WB are at least discussing the possibilities.
I think David Ayer's Suicide Squad is going to be a solid hit for the studio, and it will probably end up getting better reviews than Batman v Superman. As you know, the studio is currently in the process of restructuring things in DC Entertainment because of the disappointment that was Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. I think the studio sees Suicide Squad in a completely different light. They seem confident in this film, and audiences who attend early screenings are loving it. So the villainous side of the DC Universe could be a very successful and lucrative franchise for them.
We know a sequel is currently in development, but it'll be interesting to see where they take these characters after the first movie is released and if we will see any of these spinoff films released between the first movie and the sequel.
Are you more excited about the potential of the Suicide Squad characters or the Justice League heroes?
