Reality? Yates.
Why Yates. He's going to do Fantastic Beasts 2 no?

Edgar Wright would be a great choice but I doubt he'll do it after the ant-man fiasco with Disney

Patty seems to be doing fine so far...Wan and Affleck are high profile... they need one more proven director after a bland double whammy.

I fear they won't dump Ayer but at least there's chance SS2 could turn out better, more low key.

Wouldn't hurt if Ayer starts shooting Suicide Squad 2 with a finished script... Also, that really in development? Aren't they going forward with the Harley Quinn solo? Can hardly imagine Harley and Joker not being a part of a Suicide Squad sequel. Don't know how they're going to schedule the films.... On top of that, Ayer is making a film for Netflix first lol

Either way, I think Affleck and Wan have better positions with the studio. Jenkins might as well have considering a first female led superhero film and all that :P and it does look really good so there's that.

I really don't care about his prospects but I do care about HQ, probably 2020 and The Batman appearance.

Wright could be brought on but both he and the studio needs to clear up their terms and conditions to each other first.

Ezra stays winning:
Earlier today at the junket for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, we spoke with Miller, who plays Credence, a sullen young man with foster mother problems, and we asked him if he had any insight into why all these directors were departing the project.

Surely, they didn’t have a problem with “The Ezra”?

“These processes are complicated, and I think it can—from afar—appear to be, as you say, something interpersonal or dramatic,” he told us. “That is rarely the case. These are groups of people taking the development of projects extremely seriously, and the teams are changing all the time. There’s often a lot of flux in who the team of the production of a film is before that production starts, and in this case, you hear about it, because it’s a critical figure—the directors that have been coming on and leaving. For me, it’s sort of a tragic relay race, and we’ve had a couple really incredible people carry this baton, and their marks are left on that baton, and the work that they’ve given to the project will certainly be represented in whatever the final product comes to be.”

Since we’ve already seen Miller’s Flash in other movies, we wondered how he’s been developing the character through his various appearances.

“I mean I’ve been investigating and composing the character since the moment I started considering doing the screen test,” he said. “Fortunately, a lot of that research is extremely fun and involves reading Flash Comics and other comics from the world of DC, The Brave and the Bold, and I’m really interested in the early history and some of my favorite stuff is Silver Age. Even the Golden Age and the Jay Garrick stuff, the original Flash. It’s just so fascinating, so endlessly compelling. It’s such an incredible set-up for exploration, all these fascinating concepts in physics, in mysticism, in fantasy… he can go anywhere. He’s that figure of the DC pantheon who transcends the realms, sort of like Hermes or Mercury before him in the respective Greek and Roman mythologies that the character’s (creator) Gardner Fox clearly very much based (him on).”

A big part of the upcoming DC Universe film productions is going to be the newly-named DC Films Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns, who is a big Flash nerd in his own right, having written the character for over a decade.

“Yes, he’s a good guy to have around,” Miller agreed. “He keeps us full of information and he keeps us from making ignorant mistakes that would upset the fans across the world because you pretty much can’t get someone with a deeper knowledge of this universe than Geoff Johns.”

“I’ve had glimpses of various points in the development of it,” he said when asked whether he had seen any of the scripts for The Flash yet, “And I’m extremely excited.
Interesting quote about development process and Geoff Johns' role.

Indeed. I'm looking forward to his performance in JL. Hope they announce a new director soon, if not only because I hope the film is not stalled for too long...
