\"\"What? A DC Extended Universe film having a hard time finding a director? That hardly ever happens! Except for\u00a0The Flash\u00a0<\/strong>and, now,\u00a0Suicide Squad 2<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, we told you that Warner Brothers had its eye on\u00a0Orphan\u00a0<\/strong>director\u00a0\u00a0Jaume Collet-Serra <\/a>to helm its\u00a0Suicide Squad\u00a0<\/strong>sequel. Well, apparently the attraction wasn’t mutual, because The Hollywood Reporter <\/a>is claiming that Collet-Serra has signed on with Disney to direct\u00a0Jungle Cruise<\/strong>, a film version of its popular theme park ride starring Dwayne Johnson.<\/p>\n

Jungle Cruise\u00a0<\/strong>is set to begin production in Spring of 2018, around the same time that\u00a0Suicide Squad 2\u00a0<\/strong>was due to begin production. Collet-Serra has a Waco docudrama on tap after\u00a0Jungle Cruise<\/strong>, so, unless the sequel is greatly delayed, Collet-Serra will not be directing it.<\/p>\n

Mel Gibson and a number of other candidates were also considered for the job, so it remains to be seen if Warners will go back to one of them or continue the search for a new candidate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

It’s back to the drawing board as Disney steals away Warners’ favorite to direct SUICIDE SQUAD 2<\/div>\n
