Last year, James Gunn helmed The Suicide Squad for DC and he’s already back with a spin-off series, Peacemaker, which debuted on HBO Max this week. Of course, Gunn is not the first director to make a Suicide Squad movie. Suicide Squad was released in 2016 and directed by David Ayer, who has been very open about wanting Warner Bros. to release his version of the film, similar to HBO Max’s release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Gunn and Ayer have always been friendly on social media, and they reconfirmed that respect this week. The latest non-drama started when Gunn liked a tweet that was defending Pete Davidson, who appeared in The Suicide Squad. However, the tweet also took a dig at Ayer’s movie. When someone took a screenshot of Gunn’s like and tweeted, “This is why I dislike James Gunn,” Gunn shot back with an explanation.
Wait what? Is drama still a thing on the internet? I thought 2022 would be different 🤣🤣🤣James you so got this. I’m going back to sleep now. Oh and BTW #Peacemaker is dope 🙌🏼 🦅 https://t.co/dzFZ81LpVe
