I can confirm #TheSuicideSquad is 100%, zero interference, no-holds-barred ME, &, again, I can’t wait for you guys to get a glimpse of it at #DCFanDome. (Yes, I’m pimping FanDome a lot, but that’s because I know how exciting it’s going to be – for my film & other stuff too!) https://t.co/CClwKIi5nS

In addition, when asked about the circulating rumors of Poison Ivy’s inclusion, Gunn had quickly debunked it by confirming that Dr. Pamela Isley won’t be making her long-awaited DCEU debut in upcoming film.
We are. And it’s not true. It’s BS like most stuff off this particular site.
