Suicide Squad director David Ayer comments on those 'reshoots for humour' rumours

'When a studio loves your movie and asks what else you want, go for it!'

Just days after the release of Batman v Superman, the internet got word that Suicide Squad reshoots were happening.

The implication was that Warner Bros were disappointed with the serious tone of Zack Snyder’s film and pleased by the initial, positive response to the first Suicide Squad trailer which contained lots of humour.

After the second trailer debuted at the MTV Movie Awards - once again showing off the lighter side of the DCEU - director David Ayer decided to rubbish those reports.

He Tweeted out “Suicide Squad 'reshoots for humour' is silly. When a studio loves your movie and asks what else you want, go for it!” followed by the hashtags “ThanksWB” and “Moreaction”.

In the latest trailer, we are given a much better look at both Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn and Jared Leto’s Joker, as well as some up close action from Ben Affleck’s Batman.

Suicide Squad’s cast also includes Will Smith, Leto, Robbie, Joel Kinnanman, Viola Davis, Jai Courtney, Cara Delevingne, Jay Hernandez and Adele Akinnuoye-Agbaje.

Meanwhile, Batman v Superman has almost topped $800 million at the box office, yet looks like it will fall way short of making the same profit predecessor Man of Steel made.
