Adam Cozad To Write 'Suicide Squad 2'

According The Hollywood Reporter Adam Cozad, screenwriter on the recent Legend of Tarzan reboot, has officially entered talks to pen Suicide Squad 2 for Warner Bros.

The anti-hero sequel sparked into life exactly one month ago, when Mel Gibson rose to the tip-top of Warner’s shortlist. 

Cozad has spent much of his writing career in the action-adventure genre, penning treatments for Chris Pine vehicle Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, Bloodshot, The Gray Man and Underwater, the Kristen Stewart-fronted thriller that’s beginning to attract serious talent over at 20th Century Fox. 

So far Jessica Henwick and T.J. Miller have signed on to join the Personal Shopper actress.

All in all, Cozad is an exciting addition to the fold, and we fully expect Suicide Squad 2 to gain a sense of momentum following his appointment. That being said, Warner Bros. will surely express a sense of caution during pre-production to ensure those same production woes (read: multiple cuts, a rushed script) won’t strike again.
