A “studio hack job”! Will Smith Starrer ‘Suicide Squad’ 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.

Ayer replied by explicitly mentioning that his cut is “vastly better” and “the typical reaction is shock how much better it is.” ALSO READ: Warner Bros Want Will Smith To Lead ‘Suicide Squad 3’ Not Following James Gunn Version?

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.

However, only the future can tell if Ayer Cut truly gets a release.
