After six years of Suicide Squad, David Ayer slams the DC Universe for editing his version of the movie, calling it a hack job.

A &#8220;studio hack job&#8221;! Will Smith Starrer &#8216;Suicide Squad&#8217; Director Slams Warner Bros As he Fuels the Release the Ayer Cut movement

No one can perhaps ignore a rabid fanbase who wants to hustle and holler a gig
into existence. The campaign that erupted in the aftermath of 2017’s Justice
League ‘calamity.’ can precisely substantiate this. Aggressive fans fireballed
the momentum to #RelsaseTheSnyderCut, which apparently did not exist as the
director left midway because of his daughter’s tragic death. But DCEU had to
eventually greenlight Snyder’s vision, which now exists on HBO. Another director
who seems to monetize by this volatile movement is Suicide Squad director David
Ayer.

2016’s Suicide Squad was a success with stars like Will Smith, Margot Robbie,
and Jared Leto getting fame for their respective characters. Robbie even got her
own DC movie that focused on Harley Quinn after her breakup with Joker. However,
the Suicide Squad’s director has a different opinion. Looking at the failure of
the dark-toned faceoff of Superman and Batman, Warner Bros. apparently edited a
few scenes of Ayer’s vision giving what was supposed to be sublime, a very light
tone. And some six years later, Ayer has now disowned this theatrical success,
even slamming DC studios with what he calls a “studio hack job.”

> My cut isn’t perfect. But it’s vastly better that the studio hack job. People
> have seen it. The typical reaction is shock how much better it is. This is
> across a sample of ages and fans and non fans. You’re speaking from negativity
> not openness. Why? 🤷🏻‍♂️ https://t.co/9FXJXg8GwX [https://t.co/9FXJXg8GwX]

The tweet came in on 31st March as a reply to a tweet from a now-deleted account
about the original release. Ayer replied by explicitly mentioning that his cut
is “vastly better” and “the typical reaction is shock how much better it is.”

James Gunn Version?

And although the End of Watch director acknowledged that his cut “isn’t
perfect,” it did not stop him from spearheading the #RealseTheAyerCut movement.
The reaction to his tweet will perhaps make the view clearer for you.


HOW ARE FANS REACTING TO DAVID AYER AND HIS VISION OF SUICIDE SQUAD?

The director has seemingly invested much of the time after James Gunn’s
ascension to DC Films, to make his vision gain ground. From courting support
from fans to streaming it for some of the leading fans, he has done it all. And
fans are all in to have a bite of this version of the Will Smith starrer. Fans
have since shown support saying things like “it would work well on HBO Max,” and
“Warner Bros. would like a few hours of content.”

> I really hope your cut gets released. I can’t even imagine how frustrating it
> would be to have the world judging Suicide Squad without you being able to
> show the film as intended.

the trending hashtag.

Notably, James Gunn, the director of the soft reboot of Suicide Squad has
seemingly supported the idea, stating that “As the new (& first ever) CEOs of DC
Studios, Peter [Safran] & I think it’s important we acknowledge you, the fans, &
let you know we hear your different desires for the pathways forward for DC.”
Ayer also confirmed a few conversations with Gunn and has shown optimism for the
new DC Universe. However, only the future can tell if Ayer Cut truly gets a
release.
