Further, the admin talks about how the cut contained a more mature take on the whole premise of the film, combining it with deeper character arcs and development that made this version better in so many ways.

Will We Witness An “Ayer Cut”?

To put it simply. We don’t know.

This simple statement will still keep the Ayer Cut in speculation of whether Warner Bros. will go ahead with the idea of letting us witness the Suicide Squad as it was intended to be in the original. But there is no denying the existence of a more mature, gritty, and fun unreleased version of the film out there. Plus, with the release of Snyder Cut of Justice League, the release of Ayer Cut of Suicide Squad doesn’t seem so implausible anymore. Until then, we can still look forward to the day that it becomes a reality.

And truth be told, it seems very likely that the day is not that far away.
