Director David Ayer thinks of "Suicide Squad" villains as one big family.

Ayer says it was "just so exciting to bring a show like this to the street and get out in the real world with the real people", reported Ace Showbiz.

The director says he's trying to create a family unit with his group of DC villains including Deadshot, Joker, Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang and Rick Flagg.

"I'm all about real drama, real performance, and real people, so my twist on this is I'm creating a family," he said.

"I'm creating a brotherhood here. I'm creating a very real chemistry, and I have this incredible ensemble of actors led by Will Smith who are basically playing three-dimensional characters with lives and souls."
 

"Suicide Squad" is set to hit theatres in the US on August 5, 2016.
