It’s very much a standalone film. … I think The Suicide Squad very much is in line with what we did on Aquaman and Shazam! in the sense that the idea was to make a great standalone movie, and don’t worry about how it fits in any broader universe. That’s obviously what we did with Aquaman and with Shazam! That’s what we’re doing here. We’re just making a great movie. We hope. But that’s the focus. It doesn’t have to live within some broader universe, automatically. It’s something that if you go back — I think James probably said this years ago. He was quoted… Whenever he was talking about building universes, the Monster University at Universal, or this universe, he was always, like, ‘Just make a good movie. Make a good movie, and if it merits being built out into something more than that, then you’ll figure out a way to do it.’ But you don’t have to have the preconceived idea of how it all fits together as you make that first movie. So for us, it’s very much about, just go make one great movie.
