David Ayer Still Hopes His Cut of ‘Suicide Squad’ Will Be Released – ‘It didn’t represent what I actually made’

Zack Snyder’s Justice League has given hope to David Ayer. The director of the 2016 Suicide Squad has claimed, like Snyder; he also has a cut of his movie that Warner Bros. didn’t release and that is better than the movie that received mixed reviews years ago. Recently, WarnerMedia CEO Ann Sarnoff announced they had no plans to release an Ayer cut, to which the director responded with a sad emoji and “why”?

Ayer, however; is not giving up hope:

“I think the studios see now that there can be canon, there can be non-canon, the fans just want to touch it. They love the characters, they just want to spend more time with it. And people are way more sophisticated about how movies are made and want to be participants in the journey. There’s room for different things, different versions, different assets being shared with the audience. I think it just helps strengthen the community. But absolute credit to Warner Bros. for supporting Zack and having the courage to explore that.”

Ayer added:

“I get it, it’s a business. It’s frustrating because I made a really heartfelt drama and it got ripped to pieces and they tried to turn it into Deadpool, which it just wasn’t supposed to be. And then you take the hit, you’re the captain of the ship, my name was on it. [Laughs] Even though it didn’t represent what I actually made, I would take all the bullets and be a good soldier. I made an amazing movie. It’s an amazing movie, it just scared the s— out of the executives.”

What do you think? Do you want to see the Ayer cut?
