We’re only a few weeks from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but if we want to look a little further down the road, we can see the next DC movie, Suicide Squad, on the horizon. While Batman v Superman offers the thrill of seeing two major superheroes share the screen for the first time, I’m more fascinated by Suicide Squad, which is attempting the audacious task of creating a team of supervillains, most of whom are unknown to general audiences.

However, Warner Bros. doesn’t think this will be a hurdle because they’re reportedly very happy with what they’ve seen so far. Variety’s Justin Kroll tweeted out the following:

It’s exciting to hear that they’re so pleased with Suicide Squad that they want to hit the ground running with a follow-up. But where would it go on the calendar? Right now, here’s the current Warner Bros/DCCU schedule:

    Wonder Woman on June 23, 2017
    Justice League Part One on November 17, 2017
    The Flash on March 23, 2018
    Aquaman on July 27, 2018
    Shazam on April 5, 2019
    Justice League Part Two on June 14, 2019
    Cyborg on April 3, 2020
    Green Lantern Corps on June 19, 2020

So right now it looks like Warner Bros. is content to have a film in the spring and a film in the summer, but maybe if Suicide Squad is a big enough and the studio doesn’t want to drag its feet on putting Suicide Squad 2 on the schedule, it can slate the sequel for fall or winter. Even if Suicide Squad is a hit, we won’t see the sequel until 2018 at the earliest, so there’s still plenty of time for Warner Bros. to decide on how it wants to proceed.
