We have just under a month until Suicide Squad debuts in theatres, where audiences will get their first taste of the seedy villains that reside in Warner Bros. DC cinematic universe. Due to the vast amount of characters appearing in the film, it's probably no secret that WB is hoping that the film will spawn sequels or spin-offs featuring some of the more popular squad members. Director David Ayer has suggested that the possibilities are infinite when it comes to future installments, especially due to the wealth of comic book material.  "Because of the nature of the comic book universe and the DC Universe, it's really infinite in any way you can go, especially the DC Universe," Ayer told CBR and other outlets during a visit to Suicide Squad's Toronto set. "I think it's one of the most complex fiction universes with 'Crisis' and pre-'Crisis' and the multi-dimensional nature and all the timelines. Each one of these characters could be their own film. The Suicide Squad could be a zillion films."  

Ayer also hinted that his film is adapting one particular story from the comic books, though he shied away from naming it. "The backbone of this story is right out of canon, and it's one comic book. I'm not going to say which one. That's just one out of a two-foot stack. The potential is always there, but as a filmmaker, you have to make the movie work and stand it up on its own two legs and be utterly complete as an experience. Otherwise, you are doing the movie injustice."  Would you like to see a spin-off film featuring any of the villains of Suicide Squad, or would you prefer them to remain contained to sequels? Sound off below! Suicide Squad hits theatres August 5, 2016.

The multiverse! More like the MORTYVERRSE.



Anyway, Ayer seems like he did his research and knows the DC universe pretty well. I'm excited.

@Luminus - Slipknot movie 2017 !!!!!!! but really most of them cant be short films like the Marvel one shots. deadshot boomerang and katana are the only film worthy ones imo.

@SoultakerKatana - Boomerang? LOL! That character was never meant to be taken seriously. Might as well be an Aunt May film.

Jay Courtney will be a household name with SS before the dude that plays Superman.

@THATguy01 - Which saddens me. Because Henry Cavill is great as Superman. Nothing against Jai Courtney. Actually, after Harley and The Joker, he's the one I'm looking forward to seeing the most in Suicide Squad. But Henry Cavill's Superman is so underrated.

I really hope this movie can be watched by a 7 years old girl as my niece is really excited about the movie and won't accept a NO

She really wants to see Harley in action and the joker
