David Ayer Fires Back At Fan Who Says ‘Suicide Squad’ Tanked At The Box Office

David Ayer fired back at a fan who claimed Suicide Squad tanked at the box office.

While Suicide Squad may not have been universally acclaimed, the David Ayer film earned enough fans to propel the DC film towards a $746.8 million worldwide gross at the box office. However, it appears one fan isn’t impressed by the box office haul of Suicide Squad and made this known to David Ayer on Twitter.

After David Ayer posted a message of support for James Gunn’s upcoming reinvention of The Suicide Squad, the aforementioned fan directly told Ayer that he believes the next film will meet the same fate as its predecessor by tanking at the box office. In response, a seemingly amused David Ayer roasted the Suicide Squad detractor by replying, “Dude learn 2 bizness.”

The first Suicide Squad followed a team of supervillains who were recruited by the government for a dangerous black ops mission in exchange for reduced sentences. The ensemble cast included Will Smith as Deadshot, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and Jared Leto as The Joker. James Gunn is expected to deliver on the fresh take on the Suicide Squad in his upcoming movie.

Written and directed by James Gunn, The Suicide Squad stars David Dastmalchian, John Cena, Jai Courtney, Joaquín Cosío, Nathan Fillion, Joel Kinnaman, Mayling Ng, Flula Borg, Sean Gunn, Juan Diego Botto, Storm Reid, Pete Davidson, Taika Waititi, Alice Braga, Steve Agee, Tinashe Kajese, Daniela Melchior, Peter Capaldi, Julio Ruiz, Jennifer Holland, Viola Davis, Idris Elba, Margot Robbie, and Michael Rooker.

The Suicide Squad will be released in theaters on August 6, 2021.
