While CGI-fueled superhero movies are extremely entertaining to watch, they are equally difficult to make. However, despite most filmmakers associated with the DCEU knowing their craft, Warner Bros has often made headlines for meddling in their work. And now with 2023 marking the end of DCEU, David Ayer spoke up about his 2016 movie Suicide Squad, which failed to match WB’s expectations.
Discussing on X, how James Gunn has promised a director’s cut for Suicide Squad, David Ayer began by supporting Gunn’s DCU. Admitting how the Suicide Squad director’s cut will bring a major change that Zack Snyder’s director’s cut failed to bring, Ayer almost hinted at exposing Warner Bros.
David Ayer Promised Suicide Squad Director’s Cut
For a long time, Suicide Squad director David Ayer has been revealing James Gunn‘s plans to come up with a director’s cut for the noteworthy critical flop of 2016. And now after months of silence, Ayer yet again addressed Gunn’s decision to offer audiences with Suicide Squad director’s cut, as the new creative chief of DC Studios.
Supporting James Gunn’s DCU on X, and asking fans to calm down instead of attacking Gunn, David Ayer continued to spread the word about his version of Suicide Squad. Well, there’s no denying that the 2016 DC movie failed to attract audiences like Warner Bros expected it to. And a significant amount of responsibility for that falls on Warner Bros.
I absolutely can’t wait to see Gunn’s Superman. I have to say this. Gunn is the bravest man in Hollywood these days. He’s taking charge of the hardest ship to Captain in this industry.
We make movies. We are entertainers. Not elected officials leading a nation. Everyone please… https://t.co/Kd9Q5XUMIO

Therefore, David Ayer discussed how the Suicide Squad director’s cut will change people’s perspective about the movie. Almost hinting at exposing Warner Bros’ meddling in the film, the director claimed to bring a change. Although people are worried that the response to Ayer’s cut will be similar to Zack Snyder’s director’s cut for Justice League, the Suicide Squad helmer is carefree.
David Ayer Promised To Do What Zack Snyder Couldn’t
Promising to bring a change with his director’s cut, that Zack Snyder‘s Justice League director’s cut couldn’t do, David Ayer implied how Warner Bros butchered his 2016 movie. By inserting a series of catchy songs and changing the ending completely, Warner Bros alongside a trailer editing company completely changed Suicide Squad‘s look and feel, for the audiences.
Thus, years later, David Ayer decided to inform fans about his potential director’s cut for Suicide Squad as promised by the creative chief of DC Studios, James Gunn. Although there’s a significant amount of doubt among fans about how releasing the movie in its original form would benefit anyone, Ayer believes it “will change the course of history”.
Agreed. This is Hollywood not prison rules. I root for anyone who is making it happen in this business. It’s soul crushing. I can clap for who I want. 🫶🏼 https://t.co/rJ16pwDoka

While Zack Snyder’s Justice League director’s cut failed to create a significant impact that might stop Warner Bros from meddling and butchering movies, David Ayer appears to believe that his version might bring that change. Hyping up the original cut of Suicide Squad, the filmmaker begged fans to wait until DC releases the movie like it was supposed to be.
