David Ayer responding to the trend, took to Twitter and stated: "This is a good question. My cut would be easy to complete. It would be incredibly cathartic for me. It’s exhausting getting your ass kicked for a film that got the Edward Scissorhands treatment. The film I made has never been seen.'' He expressed this after one twitter user stated "the version of #SuicideSquad that we've all seen was not the movie @DavidAyerMovies wanted to release. With the popularity of the superhero genre, why not show his cut on @hbomax? I'm sure a lot of DC fans would love to see an alt version of the film and it would help sell app." Take a look at the tweet here

He then engaged with another Twitter user who asked him about releasing the film: "Is there anything you would change in your original vision now that you’ve had a couple years with it? Or would that be spoilers if you got the opportunity to release your cut?" After which he replied and said, "Of course. My cut isn’t the apotheosis of filmmaking. It’s simply better than what the public has seen - and yes it would make sense to update it".
