Ayer crushes hopes as #ReleaseTheAyerCut trends on the internet
Since last week, fans of David Ayer are asking the director for his original vision of the 2016 superhero flick Suicide Squad, which featured actors like Will Smith, Margot Robbie, and Jared Leto in the lead roles. The famed director took to his official social media handle and tweeted, “Mr J’s version of the beginning…” and this got the fans all riled up in excitement. But things may not go as the fans are hoping.
In a recent tweet by the director, which was a reply to one of his fans, Ayer stated that it is simply not his call or his IP. He further stated that he loved Warner Bros., which is like a home studio for him and he fully respects and supports the “incredible path” DCU will be walking on under the guidance of WB. He then stated that his version of Suicide Squad may not even come to the light of the world and it is totally fine by the director.
#ReleaseTheSnyderCut took the social media storm and looking at the overwhelming and perpetual response by the fans, the makers decided to release the Zack Snyder version of the DC flick. This also required some reshoots and the film will be ready by 2021. It will feature DC’s most iconic villain and the New God Darkseid and fans are all excited to see the Black Superman. This has stirred several rumours among the Suicide Squad fandom. There have been talks on several internet forums that state that Ayer’s version may give more depth to the character of Jared Leto’s Joker, something that the fans are eagerly willing to see.
