Joel Kinnaman is returning for James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad. He will be reprising his role as Rick Flag from 2016’s David Ayer’s Suicide Squad. Like Zack Snyder’s Justice League, people are rooting for an “Ayer Cut”. It seems as if Warner Bros. did what they did with 2017’s Justice League and chopped it up to bits. Completely ruining Ayer’s vision for Suicide Squad.
In a recent interview, Kinnaman touched upon his opinion on an “Ayer Cut”:
“You always wanna see the filmmaker’s cut, you know? It’s always a shame when the filmmaker’s vision doesn’t make it to the cinema. Of course, there’s always going to be compromise. I find it’s the bigger the budget, the bigger the compromise. Usually that’s the case.”
Kinnaman then added:
“I’m sure [Ayer’s cut] would be much more interesting. David’s take on the Joker was really interesting and that didn’t really come out in the movie that we saw.”
Kinnaman also talked about Gunn’s vision and how it’s something completely new:
“With James Gunn, it’s a whole new universe. It’s a completely different thing. We kinda all just started with a blank slate…It doesn’t feel like we’re doing a sequel in any way. It’s a strange kinda middle ground of a reboot. Something in between there.
I don’t think [Gunn] had to compromise one iota of his vision,” he continued. “He really got to do exactly what he wanted. And it’s definitely going to be the biggest budget R-rated movie that’s ever been made. And it’s heavily R-rated and super silly. It’s really like childish, childish humor and it also finds these profound moments where you get really emotionally moved. And then it’s super violent and then it’s really silly again…Every character is just so ridiculous.”
