Fury director considering DC Entertainment film
His current film follows the heroic, conflicted crew of a World War II tank. But for a potential new project, Fury director David Ayer could be focused more on villains. He’s considering directing an adaptation of DC's Suicide Squad for Warner Bros.
The studio and its comics partner has had Justin Marks at work on a script for a couple of years now, quietly developing the idea, but going even quieter when the focus switched to the Justice League films.
But with Supes, Bats and co. chugging away healthily, talk has turned back to the Squad, who were first drawn together – and often called Task Force X – by Robert Kanigher and Ross Andru in 1959, with John Ostrander forming a more modern version.
The comics' concept finds villains such as Deadshot, King Shark, Captain Boomerang and Harley Quinn given a chance for redemption by undertaking dangerous missions for the government.
Though it’s clearly early days and yet to be officially confirmed by Warners, the studio has a lot of release dates to fill and Suicide Squad could be a solid counterpoint to the square-jawed, mopey heroics of the Justice League.
Ayer’s Fury, which stars Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf and Logan Lerman, is set to arrive here on October 24.
