Jaume Collett-Serra has been chosen to direct the sequel to Warner Bros.' "Suicide Squad".  The film will star Will Smith and Margot Robbie.

Collet-Serra directed "The Shallows" and "The Commuter" and also recently signed on to direct the thriller "Waco".

David Ayer directed the original "Suicide Squad", which earned over $700 million,  but the studio wanted to go in a different direction this time around. 

The "Suicide Squad" sequel is slated for a 2019 release.
