The Hollywood Reporter said that "Suicide Squad 2" is expected to have an entirely different plot from that of the first "Suicide Squad" movie. The sequel won't again be repeating the origin story of the squad. Even the Enchantress can't be expected in the sequel as she was dealt in "Suicide Squad". The romance between the villainous couple Joker and Harley will also be absent in the movie.

"Suicide Squad 2" will be a different experience from that of all other superhero movies. Warner Bros. plans to direct this sequel with a director having no experience in directing superhero movies. This may be the reason why David Ayer's is no longer in the directorial position of the movie.
