Killer Frost Might Replace Harley Quinn In Suicide Squad 2

A recent report has now shed some light on both the director search as well as a new character.  What the leak says about Suicide Squad 2 though is that despite being the frontrunner to direct at one point, Mel Gibson is no longer in the picture. 

Ruben Fleischer and Jaume Collet-Serra are the top candidates to direct the movie now, the script is currently being written, with David Ayer giving the story pitch. The report mentions that “Killer Frost will be the new female lead to replace Harley Quinn.” It’s unclear if that means Harley won’t be in the film, or she’ll just have a reduced role, but either way, if true, this is definitely surprising to hear. 

Killer Frost has a history with Task Force X in the comics, of course, having served on the team as Dr. Louise Lincoln, the second incarnation of the character, so her inclusion in the sequel makes sense.
