Discussion: Suicide Squad 2 further along than we thought?

So if you remember when WB announced GC: Sirens they said that Suicide Squad 2 was in development along side it. That was back in December. Now we have no idae how long both movies have been in development prior to that announcement. But if WB are looking at directors now for Suicide Squad 2 when does that tell us we might see it? 2018/2019?
