Late Wednesday night, Gibson confirmed the news to an audience at a Q&A after a screening of Hacksaw Ridge. The moderator asked Gibson how close he was to locking down a deal and Gibson said, “It’s kind of a first date”.
Variety reporter Justin Kroll offered some insight into what Gibson is thinking here. The presence of Will Smith in the cast appears to be a big selling point for Gibson: >First if Mel wants it, it's his. >While some might say he said he would never do a comic book movie, I heard he is more intrigued by this cast then material >Will and Mel actually wanted to do THE ACCOUNTANT years ago but old regime didn't want Mel but shows how much Mel want to work with Will
Wow, Mel looks like he will be resorting to Capeshit now. What went wrong?
Jackson White
Yeah, suicide squad needed more bible, now it'll be perfect
Nicholas Ortiz
D R O P P E D R O P P E D
Anthony Martinez
>the amount of Lethal Weapon references this flick is gonna have
Caleb Ross
>Suicide Squad 2 might actually be an ok movie Wow
Grayson Brooks
DCEU is saved
Justin Hill
Mel would've done iron man 4 if RDJ didn't take part in that pro-hillary joe sweden video
Aiden Rivera
Iron Man 4 isn't a thing user
Sebastian Murphy
BASED MEL MARLEL IS FINISHED
Bentley Thomas
Why are WB fucking retards? They should've offered Mel The Batman instead.
Either way this is still good. DCEU is not getting cancelled no matter how much the critics wish it would.

Well damn, we gotta thank Will for this.
Dylan Gray
Why does he want to direct Will Smith so badly?
Carter Torres
>a chink
Leo Williams
They're good friends.
Zachary Cruz
What makes you think that
Grayson Hughes
Why else would Will and Mel want to work together?
Jack Gomez
Well Hacksaw Ridge was a decent action/comedy so don't see why he cannot do the same with Suicide Squad
Luis White
He's going to read some comics to get familiarized and then realize it's shit for manchildren and won't do it
Evan Robinson
NO MEL DON'T DO IT
YOU JUST TURNED YOUR CAREER AROUND
DON'T LET DCEU DRAG YOU DOWN
Jack Sanchez
viking epic when
Henry Murphy
Yeah, I am the light, bitchez!
Jeremiah Price
*blocks your path*
Alexander Phillips
Idk man. Imagine if Mel did good with this. He'd be seen as a magician who saved the whole DC universe alone. That would be quite a big success.
Adam Phillips
Why would anyone want to see this movie when it won't have Joker and Harley? Are they going to add Batman?
Jace Sanders
I would like Mel doing Suicide Squad if it was the first Suicide Squad movie
Now I can't imagine them letting him do whatever he wants. For starters, he seems incapable of directing a PG-13 movie.
He absolutely wouldn't do that teen shit from the first movie and if execs panic and think the movie should be like that he would walk away ranting slurs at everyone.
Jayden Jones
>direct
So.
It's basically put your money where your mouth is.
>Gibson talks shit about capeshit >makes comeback as director with emotional, meaningful yet exciting movie >gets offered the chance to direct capeshit so he can fix what's wrong
Would it be wise? Would it lower him? Would it open more doors? Would it make him even richer? Would it just be more of the same? Would it be then the first WB/DC property to receive resort since Nolan?
He certainly doesn't need it. Not now. Its funny they only offer now. Funny, not surprising.
Samuel Mitchell
PS: I just saw that his first directed movie was PG-13 (The Man Without Face). But it wasn't an action movie, it was drama, and I can't see him doing an action movie without brutal over the top violence.
Jack Bailey
It should be rated R. Knowing Mel, he really would make a scene if WB tries to fuck his shit
Ayden Perry
>I heard he is more intrigued by this cast then material
Dropped.
Julian Scott
>Mel Gibson will never play deranged racist Captain Boomerang
Jonathan Jones
>the jews control hollywood and no one is allowed to say >mel Gibson still has as a career
Which is it Sup Forumsbabies?
Caleb Parker
>1/16
tribe is really reaching here
Samuel Cook
Jews love money more than ethics or values
Luis Collins
I don't think he'd roll over so easily to studio demands, which might make the production less of a clusterfuck.
Mason Anderson
Boomerang needed to be more of a cunt overall in the movie, him telling Nigshot good job for letting Harley escape was so dumb.
Brandon Fisher
>DC is in such dire straits they beg a woman hating racist anti semite to make their shit movies
Fuck all you Sup Forums shitheads who reply to this I am not coming back to this thread so fuck you = )
Cooper Phillips
oi good jobey u fockin' abo
Tyler Reyes
What if Mel Gibson directed Wonder Woman 2 instead?
Set in World War II of course
Brody King
not just being racist, but a selfish, look out for number 1 cunt of a bogan, there's no way he would've stomached Harley ditching them all and then coming back all smiles, he'd have gutted her or at least tried to.
>my face when Smoth talking about honor among thieves
Fuck off.
Anthony Lee
lol
Gavin Clark
>implying Wonder Woman didn't peace out after WW1 to live her day's in Man's world doing jack and shit because she couldn't return to Themiscyra
What an awful hero
Nolan White
We would find out she was actually taken to Auschwitz
Parker Sullivan
S-senpai..
Daniel Torres
wth
James Myers
I just pray for Ultra-based Hutton to still be alive to see his son's take on Suicide Squad
Isaac Baker
Yeah, I'm thinking he's back
Daniel Gray
>let me ignore the fact that the only reason that Mel still has a career in jewish hollywood is based solely on the fact that he fund his own fucking movies through his own fucking studio
Brayden Moore
>The presence of Will Smith in the cast appears to be a big selling point for Gibson:
He was one of the worst things about it, the fuck?
Christian Cox
Are the shit skins who spammed that he was garbage when he called bvs trash going to praise him now?
Brody Long
Guys... what if when he said "I hope you get raped by a pack of niggers", it was because he enjoys the view?
Adam Thompson
did he walk back on that statement? didn't think so
Brayden Morris
Mel is an alpha. Cuckholdry is a beta fetish.
Asher Lopez
i want him to direct a DCEU movie only to watch it fail and expose WB
Angel Price
Suicide Squad was shit. Mel could turn the sequel into kino.
Ryan Lee
He was the only one carrying that movie.
Oliver Thomas
Karen Fukuhara´s career is dead...
Ayden Parker
how can marvelets compete?
Evan Harris
You confuse having the most screentime with carrying the movie, he carried it right into the gutter I'll agree with that at least.
Mason Wilson
>The call that saved the DCEU?
Colton Mitchell
Damo and Darren movie when?
Charles Howard
>first movie is a blockbuster hit >has tits, hips and ass >can speak fluent english with no accent as well as Japanese >practically confirmed for Gotham City Sirens
She'll be fine.
Oliver Russell
Does this explain why Afflecki wants to drop out of batman?
Samuel Bennett
Seriously shitskins
Liam Cox
No because mel hates jews and ben loves terrorists that hate jews
Austin Davis
It doesn't matter if Mel or Wan are great directors. Ayer had nothing but a good track record before Suicide Squad. Capeshit movies are ghost directed by the studio, and if that studio has no idea what their vision is, then the director will have all his weaknesses emphasized.
David Hughes
Only Gibson will make it good. If he is hired on, guaranteed he has control
Luke Wood
>Ayer had nothing but a good track record before Suicide Squad.
Why didn't he put the lasers from Fury in Suicide Squad?
Ryan Flores
This They need to contract together, have Ben act in some Gibson kino
Christopher Martin
Mel would almost certainly have the least control out of any director they'd hire. Hollywood would love to take advantage of his "redemption story" but he'd be a glorified consultant. Affleck pulled out of writing/directing The Batman because he already saw how little control he'd actually have and didn't want to the system to pin it on him when it went south.
William Myers
Just do the fucking viking epic.
James Miller
Maybe he could do a movie adaptation of Northlanders?
Grayson Jenkins
Are you retarded? Their track record doesn't matter if they don't get capeshit. All the Joker fiasco was Ayer's idea, for example. The cringy moments all scream Ayer too. He has a good visual style but just like with Snyder, capeshit needs a competent screenwriter for it to work, and yes, less meddling from producers.
Brody Sanchez
Mel is a step above both these guys. He came in at a good time as well, with Logan and Deadpool and even John Wick 2 showing that audiences are wanting to watch r-rated action films. Why not bring back one of the OG action stars in Martin Riggs as a director?
Jayden Williams
i fucking hate that kike faggot he is obnoxious and unbearable in anything he is in his role in the killing fucking wronged me in the cunt so badly i literally drop everything he is in before even seeing the title
Juan Peterson
Really? I just feel he has no charisma. Like at all, a background character like Scott Eastwood stood out more to me.
Need that cheddar bro. If he can get this and make it a hit, WB might be willing to throw some spare change they have at him.
I'd say they need the RIGHT producers, not yes people, the directors also need some balls to say no to certain ideas considering how bloated these films can get. The screenwriters is something of a wildcard.
Ethan Fisher
>Ben's career went downhill when he got into capeshit >now it's happening to Mel We can still save him. Let's all go see his movie several times!
Isaiah Gonzalez
>Mel does this >makes a cool billy for the studios >he gets the Nolan treatment >can now direct any film he wants with any budget 3D chess right here.
Austin Anderson
I bet this is what Ben thought too, only when people start asking Mel where's Suicide Squad he'll beat them up.
Mason Russell
bullshit not gonna happen
Jackson Perez
Mel is intrigued by the first civilized nigger that seems to be capable of displaying human emotions towards his offspring.
James Bennett
Kek
Dominic Lopez
>Mel is intrigued by the first civilized nigger that seems to be capable of displaying human emotions towards his offspring.
Again, why Will Smith?
Asher Torres
Why not?
Kevin Cooper
>I heard he is more intrigued by this cast then material I don't know if this is a true statement, but doesn't that sound like really plebish coming from a director?
Nathan Baker
what if he attracts a pack of niggers to the set?
Sounds like he wants to use all those big profile names while they still have value so he can point to his resume and say "I played your kike games, now help me fund my Viking epic"
Jose Mitchell
>what if he attracts a pack of niggers to the set?
But what if Mel wants that?
Brody Nguyen
The first Suicide Squad comic I read dealt with a literal 'Get out of Hell free' card that they were sent to find. Villains all over were killing for it.
Mel would work well with that story line.
Zachary Roberts
when it comes to money and a bleeding out failure movie franchise. They don't care about jew or racism, make that fucking paper bro.
Adrian Ward
>The first Suicide Squad comic I read dealt with a literal 'Get out of Hell free' card that they were sent to find. Villains all over were killing for it.
That was fun
Landon Sullivan
If they didn't bloat the movie, it would be really fun. It would have an actual reason for Joker to be in it if Leto is still up for it. But I don't give a fuck, I don't even play on seeing the first SS. I'll see this one for Mel.
Justin Moore
Shouldn't set The Batman in Arkham? Gibson is better if he can use wide epic shots, he isn't really good with claustrophobic settings.
Eli Barnes
Of course it isn't, even if they didn't release WW and JL and decided to eat up the production costs it would still have made a profit. They are making mad dosh with these movies
Austin Torres
>First Snyder, now Gibson
Damn it feels good to be a dchad
Leo Jones
the state of Sup Forums when he actually agrees to do it. all the disneylets will be screaming
Austin Nelson
>shits on capeshit >two weeks later accepts to work on a capeshit shieeeet
Brandon Martinez
I hope not, don't want literally the worst capeshit has to offer associated with him.
