‘You would be shocked at how profoundly different and more playable my cut is’: ‘Suicide Squad’ director refuses to let the smoldering embers burn out

For different reasons, everyone wants this saga to draw to a close.

For a number of different reasons, the Ayer Cut of Suicide Squad has found itself in a unique position where everybody wants the never-ending saga to draw to a close.

In one corner you’ve got the filmmaker and his loyal ers who continue keeping the abandoned vision for the DCEU’s antihero ensemble at the forefront of the conversation, unless things go seriously awry for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

On the other hand, the detractors would be happy to see the original iteration of the comic book caper released for the sole purpose that they wouldn’t have to hear about it anymore, but at least it puts the majority in agreement. Of course, there are still some who wish Ayer would simply give up and stop talking about Suicide Squad altogether, and as he tends to do more often than not, the filmmaker offered a thoughtful, reasoned reply to one such social media .

Based entirely on how disappointing Suicide Squad turned out to be, it wouldn’t exactly be difficult for Ayer to exceed the abysmal effort that ended up on the screen, and it would be a damn sight cheaper to produce than Zack Snyder’s heavily-reworked Justice League cut, too.

The ball remains firmly in James Gunn’s court, though, and having already dashed hopes already that it was on the cusp of becoming official, the waiting game is cursed to carry on for at least a little while longer.
