David Ayer giving his blessings to Gunn for his own vision of The Suicide Squad is reminiscent of similar sentiments being shared between filmmakers Zack Snyder and Matt Reeves.
Meanwhile, the standalone sequel The Suicide Squad will Robbie, Kinnaman, Courtney, and Davis all reprising their roles from the Ayer version.
On Twitter, Gunn noted that Ayer had been very supportive of his role in developing The Suicide Squad, making it clear that there is nothing but respect between the two filmmakers.
Ayer released his Suicide Squad in DCEU to great financial success but mixed reviews.
