After opening up about the promise of a Suicide Squad director&#039;s cut

Ahead of the DCU Reboot, ‘Suicide Squad’ Director David Ayer Backs James Gunn’s “charge”

In the ever-evolving landscape of the DCU, anticipation has been at a peek ever
since the world found out that James Gunn would be at the helm of the plans for
a reboot. While a lot of his decisions have not been easy pills for fans to
swallow, it seems as though he has one other director on his side. The 2016
Suicide Squad director, David Ayer, recently set the record straight with fans
about his faith in the 57-year-old.

While Ayer promised the world a director’s cut of the superhero film, it seems
to be getting further delayed. This made fans point their virtual arrows at Gunn
once again. However, much like the superheroes he directs, David Ayer has been
suave in defending James Gunn’s honor.


DAVID AYER DEFENDS JAMES GUNN’S DCU REBOOT

This year, James Gunn broke a lot of fans’ hearts by removing a lot of the
Justice League actors from their roles. However, it seems as though some fans
are more focused on getting David Ayer’s director’s cut instead. While they took
to social media to voice their opinion, one comment found itself getting
attention from none other than the director himself. He defended Gunn on X
(formerly Twitter).

> 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 [https://t.co/Kd9Q5XUMIO]

He said that the Guardians of the Galaxy director was “the bravest man in
Hollywood” as he was “taking charge of the hardest ship to Captain in this
industry.” After sharing his opinion on the director, Ayer added, “Everyone,
please chill, as he realized things were getting out of hand. While the
55-year-old voiced his support for the director, he had a good reason for the
same.

Just months ago, David Ayer had added fuel to the speculation about his Suicide
Squad cut with his update.


DAVID AYER REVEALED JAMES GUNN’S PLANS FOR THE SUICIDE SQUAD CUT

Back in August, David Ayer sat down for an interview with Variety to talk about
his Suicide Squad cut. He hyped up fans by saying that James Gunn had told him
that it “would have its time to be shared.” While that may seem ominous to most,
the director had no reason to not trust him. After all, the fate of the DC
universe ultimately rests in his hands now.

So far, Gunn has not made any revelations about the cut. Instead, he has been
more focused on his plans for his upcoming film, Superman: Legacy with David
Corenswet. While the world may not want another actor taking up Henry Cavill’s
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] iconic role, the 6 footer has
dazzled the world with some uncanny similarities to their fan-favorite
superhero.
