David Ayer is sending out an apology to his fans for an incident that occurred during the Suicide Squad premiere on Monday (August 1) in New York City.
While introducing the film, the 48-year-old director screamed “F-ck Marvel!” Suicide Squad is part of the DC Comics film slate, and is seen as direct competition for Marvel films.
David later took to Twitter after receiving a lot of criticism for his sentiments.
“Sorry about getting caught up in the moment and saying f*ck Marvel. Someone said it. I echoed. Not cool. Respect for my brother filmmakers,” David wrote.
