To end out the month of March, a rumor of Warner Bros. ordering expensive reshoots to lighten the mood of the film started to spread. Jai Courtney, who will take on the Captain Cold mantle for the film cleared the air on the outlandish rumor being spread. Now David Ayer is reassuring fans of the same thing in regards to the reshoots. Ayer recently spoke with Collider about the shoots.
“I don’t think there’s any director that finishes a movie and says, ‘Wow that’s perfect, that’s what I really want it to be’, Ayer said. “Every movie I’ve ever made I wish I could go and grab some additional stuff and that’s exactly the chance I got this time. It’s like getting a new car but you get fancy rims and a new stereo.”
If you’ve seen the two trailers released, you briefly see Ben Affleck in them as Batman. Within the same Collider interview, Ayer talks about Ben’s presence on set.
“I love Batman”, Ayer told Collider “Batman was always my favorite superhero, and then to have him walk on my set one day was an incredible experience. Even my cynical, hard-bitten movie crew got quiet when that happened. And Ben’s a great dude, he’s a good guy to work with.”
Suicide Squad will hit theaters August 5, 2016. Be prepared the nitty gritty that the squad brings.
