This is an exciting week for director David Ayer, whose big DC supervillain team-up movie Suicide Squad is finally arriving in theaters after more than a year of build-up.
However, it seems that Ayer got a little bit carried away while speaking to a gathered audience at the world premiere of Suicide Squad in New York City.
As recorded by a member of the audience, the director exclaimed “F*** Marvel!” to a responding chorus of cheers.
As it is, apology or no, Ayer’s spur-of-the-moment battle cry could unfortunately prove to be a further wedge between comic book movie fans.
