As per a report in comicbook.com, the entire team will first shoot in Atlanta, Georgia for three months before going international, to Panama for a month's schedule thereafter. For those who do not know what The Suicide Squad franchise is about, the DC movie follows a team of (all of DC) bad guys who are put together by the government, for special black ops missions in exchange of leniency in terms of their sentences. The second instalment has been written and will be directed by James Gunn and will release on August 6, 2021.
