Is it ignoring the previous film or is it a sequel but Amanda Waller has just chosen to only use Harley Quinn again and just pair her with a different set of characters? So the characters in the original would still exist in this films universe and just aren’t being called upon.
Basically they wanted to re-use what they liked in the original (Margot Robbie, Jai Courtney, Joel Kinnaman and Viola Davis) without being tarnished by the negativity associated with that film. So they haven't called it Suicide Squad 2 and they're not going to mention the first but they're also not going to contradict it.
