Nothing in stone, but according to a site (My Entertainment World) that gives updates on production start dates, they're saying mid-March 2018 for this. Going to be quite the busy schedule for Warner/DC with Shazam, Suicide Squad 2, Wonder Woman 2 and probably The Batman.

Based on what you people said about the first one I've never even seen it and it sounds like I'm not missing anything, I surely won't be seeing SS2.

IDK, given it's a new director, and a talented one, and writer, they can turn it around especially since they have a long time to get the script right versus the 6 weeks Ayer had to write the first one. Also, helps going in with a vision rather than adjusting it in post production using a trailer company to edit it. If you watch the first Comic Con trailer, it was very dark but after BvS came out, they artificially brightened it up.

really didn't mind the first on 1st viewing. not sure what everyone's beef about it is (yeah, gave it 3.5 stars). i will view again, but i pretty much enjoyed it, i believe. it was pretty by the book and nothing real new, but it was a little more than decent...

How ‘Suicide Squad 2’ May Introduce The Rock’s Black Adam (Exclusive)
https://www.thewrap.com/suicide-squa...dam-exclusive/
“Suicide Squad 2” may serve as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s introduction to the DC Universe as the super-villain Black Adam, two insiders familiar with the idea told TheWrap.
The insiders told TheWrap that the current plan for the sequel is for the members of Suicide Squad to be tasked with tracking down a weapon of mass destruction. That weapon? Black Adam himself. The villain is best known in DC Comics as the main nemesis of superhero Shazam.
“The Rock” first hinted at what’s cooking in May, when he told Fandango, “We have a really cool surprise for Black Adam that I can’t reveal, in terms of where we will see Black Adam being introduced.”
“Suicide Squad 2” is scheduled for an October 2018 production start, and The Rock’s busy schedule during that time includes a potential fifth season of HBO’s “Ballers,” Disney’s “Jungle Cruise,” and his “Fast and Furious” spin-off with Jason Statham.
But “Suicide Squad 2” shouldn’t be too much of a scheduling issue, because Black Adam’s part shouldn’t take much time to shoot, the insiders said.

My beef is that the script and dialogue are so bad that it makes that piece of shit Prometheus look like a masterpiece.

Which is why I give some slack to Ayer since he had only 6 weeks to write it. A lot of blame goes to Warner for the short time and messing with the tone after the backlash of BvS being too dark.

so why did he only have 6 weeks? Did the original script got thrown off, was he hired too late in the production and had to come up with stuff on the fly?

Not sure if there was an original script before as Ayer approached Warner about doing the movie. Seems like, and this was prior to the 'course correction' Warner was keen on getting another DC movie in 2016 perhaps and things could get fast tracked when you have somebody like Will Smith involved. Now, part of the blame that does go to Ayer is agreeing to that sort of timeline.
I'm sure today they wouldn't have proceeded, just look at the time they're taking with this sequel (of course, part of the delay is waiting for Smith's calendar to open up).

Seems like production on this might start sooner than expected. Also, if this is for Suicide Squad 2, would seem Jay Hernandez's El Diablo might be coming back... IMO, the most surprising character of that crew, liked him a lot.
