It feels like whoever is in charge of the DC Extended Universe at Warner Bros is making it up as they go along, with no obvious pattern or structure to their movie lineup. The most successful shared universe, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has always been seen to be heading in a clear direction, with several origin stories always culminating in group movies, like The Avengers and Age of Ultron, and then adding cross-over stories like Civil War and the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok with pre-established characters in later phases but DCEU doesn't seem to be following a similar discernable route.
And now, to follow their non-pattern, Warner Bros. announced on Tueday that they will be adding more characters new to their roster as Suicide Squad
director, David Ayer and Margot Robbie team up to bring us a movie adaptation of the short-lived DC
Comics series Gotham City Sirens, in which Robbie will reprise her role as Harley Quinn to join other female DC villians. Harley was undoubtedly the best part of this summer's blockbuster, so there is hope for the movie but her co-characters have yet to be named, let alone cast.
So far, DC's Extented Universe has got been recieved well by cinema-goers and critics alike, but hopefully by the time this Suicide Squad spin-off does arrive, the Universe will have gotten the ratings that the creators originally intended, with the help of movies coming over out over the next couple of years.
The first of these is Wonder Woman, starring Gal Gadot and Chris Pine, and is due out on the 2nd of June, 2017.
