Sensational Claims: Suicide Squad Director Reveals Game-Changing Insights from Barbenheimer's Triumph!

Renowned director of Suicide Squad, David Ayer, concurs with the pivotal lesson derived from Barbenheimer's achievements: granting artists creative freedom yields superior films compared to an overreliance on algorithms.
