Adam Cozad is currently in talks with Warner Bros. to pen Suicide Squad 2.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, negotiations between Warner Bros. and Cozad are now underway. The studio is currently focused on getting a story in place while it continues its search for a director.

This wouldn't be the first time Cozad has worked Warner Bros., as he and Craig Brewer wrote The Legend of Tarzan, which released in July of last year. He also co-wrote the Chris Pine-led 2014 action drama Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit.

The first Suicide Squad movie was written and directed by David Ayer. The film wasn't received particularly well by critics when it released las year. Ayer won't be involved in the sequel, as he's already set to direct the upcoming Harley Quinn/Gotham City Sirens movie.

Reports surfaced last month that Mel Gibson is in talks to direct Suicide Squad 2, which Gibson has since confirmed are true. Warner Bros. has yet to make an official offer to the director, as Gibson is said to still be "familiarizing himself with the material."
