In recent weeks, we've seen the reveal that Zack Snyder's JUSTICE LEAGUE would be debuting on HBO Max next year, which has also led to fans calling for David Ayer's original vision for SUICIDE SQUAD to be seen as well. During a conversation on Twitter in which Ayer laid out just how different his initial cut of SUICIDE SQUAD was, BIRDS OF PREY director Cathy Yan joined the conversation to offer her condolences.
I’m so sorry this happened to you, David. I know the pain. https://t.co/UOQdHcOmeN

Reporter/critic Grace Randolph chimed in to say that BIRDS OF PREY underwent "massive" reshoots to replace a "dick pics" storyline. During test-screenings of BIRDS OF PREY, it was rumoured that Cassandra Cain (Ella Jay Basco) had swallowed a diamond which contained Black Mask's (Ewan McGregor) dick pics. It was said that the reshoots eliminated this element and replaced the contents of the diamond with the secrets of a crime family fortune, but Cathy Yan has set the record straight.
Excuse me, you have no idea what you’re talking about. It’s fascinating you would deem to try when you weren’t part of the process whatsoever.

This is not true. There has never been any discussion around the size of Roman’s dick. I can’t believe I even have to write that! The original script called for an image of Roman as Michelangelo’s David. You know? Art? If that’s a dick pic then the Louvre is full of them.

And I thank you for the support. But let’s set the record straight: there were never dick pics. You peddling a pedophelia rumour is not journalism. Peddling any gossip is not journalism. I know. I was one.

It was a joke to show how narcissist he is. It didn’t work — we all agreed — so we rewrote some ADR. That’s it. Absolutely no reshoots we’re devoted to this nonsense issue.
