Gavin O'Connor ("El contable"), que fue contratado para escribir y dirigir Escuadrón Suicida 2, ha contado lo que pasó una vez llegó la nueva dirección de Walter Hamada:

"It was really a father-daughter story with Deadshot and his daughter."
"It's another example of the dysfunction of our industry. I had a very specific take. They wanted to do it. I think I was probably three-quarters of the way into the script when they brought in a new regime and all the DC people I was working with were gone. I was writing on the lot, I got a little bungalow there; my writing partner and I would just meet there and write every day. There was a knock on the door, and it was the new DC president. He said, 'So where are you with the script?' I said 'It's almost done,' and he said 'Can I read it?' And I said, 'Well, you can read it when it's finished.' A couple of weeks later, I gave it to him, and he said 'Can you make it a comedy?' And I said, 'That's not what I wrote, and that's not the agreement I have with the studio.' He wanted me to make it into a comedy, and I was like, all right, I guess I won't be working here."

En fin, se confirma que el único plan era meter comedia, sin ningún tipo de criterio o plan narrativo. Luego trajeron a Gunn para hacer la película, al que no había que pedirle una comedia, porque ya sabías que te la iba a hacer de todos modos. De esos polvos estos lodos.
