After approaching the likes of Mel Gibson (Hacksaw Ridge) and Jaume Collet-Serra (The Shallows), Warner Bros. finally found its director for Suicide Squad 2 last month in Gavin O’Connor (The Accountant), and now Suicide Squad star Jared Leto has shared a few words of praise for the filmmaker.
“I think Gavin is incredibly talented, he seems to be the perfect director for Suicide Squad 2,” Leto told Collider during a promotional interview for his new film Blade Runner 2049. “I think he’s a really gifted filmmaker and I really love his work.”
Leto also revealed that, much like Margot Robbie, he’s unsure as to what’s next for the Clown Prince of Crime, stating that there’s “a lot of moving parts, we’ll see what happens” when asked if Suicide Squad 2 or the Joker and Harley Quinn film is next on the DC slate.
