Director James Gunn has shared an emotional post on social media to commemorate the end of shooting on The Suicide Squad. The Guardians of the Galaxy director was quick to thank the cast and crew of the upcoming DC Films production whilst sharing some personal tragedy.
“And that’s a wrap on #TheSuicideSquad.” said Gunn. “My father died two weeks before we started filming and my dog died two weeks before the end. It was a hard, hard time in my life and yet the most fulfilling time I’ve ever had making a movie. The professionalism, talent, compassion and kindness of this cast and crew inspired me every day. Thanks to everyone involved in this film, in every stage of development, in every department – I am grateful from the bottom of my heart for you all. You are why I make movies.”
Alongside the emotional message was a photo of the assembled cast and crew from the film.
