Featuring Jared Leto, Margot Robbie and Will Smith in key roles, Suicide Squad went on to become a major money-spinner.

When asked by one of the Twitter users, if he regretted collaborating with Warner Bros on the film, Ayer replied, “Not for a second. Not for one second. I got to work with amazing people. It won an Oscar, did incredible business. Launched a franchise and spin-off.

“And like it or not it’s halfway to cult status. I grew as a person, grew creatively. Warners took a chance on me. I’m grateful.”
