James Gunn won’t let anyone talk badly about the stars that feature in his movies.

Of all of the actors in David Ayer’s 2016 superhero film, “Suicide Squad,” Joel Kinnaman is probably the one that got hammered the most by fans and critics. That isn’t to say that Kinnaman completely blew it in the role of Rick Flag, but the film’s rushed script and terrible editing seem to have affected the actor more than others.

Even beyond the obvious reasons, this must be a tough year for David Ayer. After more than two decades of translating your adolescent experiences into a gritty brand of Los Angeles-based police thrillers, you are forced to spend your 2020 defending your work against what you did and did not do.
