The Suicide Squad has been released in certain parts of the world, but people are still talking about Suicide Squad. Though there's only a three-letter word signifying that these are different movies, they are almost entirely separate, baring a few characters who show up in both.

The original movie – that's the one without the "The" – was directed by David Ayer and has been at the center of some controversy. The filmmaker has recently released a statement disowning Suicide Squad, saying that the studio heavily edited the movie, to a degree that's almost beyond recognition.

However, though being diplomatic and not taking either side, Robbie – who appears in both Suicide Squad movies as Harley Quinn – added that she would like to see Ayer's version of the film.

"I would want to see the cut of every movie that I've been a part of that I've never seen," she continued. "The funny thing is, as an actor and not when you're a producer, sometimes I don't see it until half the country has seen it. Sometimes I see it after millions of people have seen it. You don’t get to see the different iterations along the way, unless you're a producer."
