David Ayer announces that Suicide Squad is complete, says “it is a beast”

June 24, 2016 by Gary Collinson

With just six weeks to go until it opens in cinemas around the globe, director David Ayer has taken to Twitter to announce that he’s completed post-production on Warner Bros.’ hotly-anticipated DC supervillain team-up Suicide Squad.

Squad is completed! Finished final mix and coloring. Now it's off to the lab and then the world. Nothing like it out there. It.Is.a.Beast.

— David Ayer (@DavidAyerMovies) June 24, 2016

It feels good to be bad…Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?
