To celebrate John Ostrander’s birthday, James Gunn<\/a> showed some love for the creator of The Suicide Squad<\/a><\/em> on Instagram. Gunn has taken on The Suicide Squad<\/a><\/em> as an R-rated DC Comics extravaganza movie, never making a secret of the fact that he is adapting a considerable amount of content from Ostrander’s work with the group in comics. To honor Ostrander further, Gunn invited him to make a cameo appearance in the film as a character named Dr. Fitzgibbon, as there is a Fitzgibbon in every one of Gunn’s films. Ostrander celebrated his 72nd birthday on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n

“Happy birthday to John Ostrander, the creator of The <\/em>Suicide <\/em>Squad<\/em> – the founder and foundation of our film,” Gunn wrote in an Instagram post. “Here we are on set while shooting his role as Dr. Fitzgibbon.” Ostrander wrote his first Suicide Squad<\/em> comic in 1987, a series which ran through 1992.<\/p>\n\n
