I know here at the DC Fandome, we're starting the snowball rolling to get the fans across the world excited for suicide squad. Rest assured that all of us that were involved in making the movie are extremely proud and extremely excited. And what we have and we really think we're going to surprise a lot of folks who want to see Suicide Squad.”
