Suicide Squad Director Wants His Own Snyder Cut | TheRichest.com
Suicide Squad director David Ayer wants DC fans to see the version of his movie he wanted fans to see before it was altered and released.
Last week, the DC fanbase got something it was probably starting to believe it never thought it would. The Snyder Cut of 2017's Justice League. Zack Snyder directed most of the movie, only to leave late on due to a family tragedy. Joss Whedon took his place and rather than tie up loose ends, Snyder's vision for the movie was changed entirely.
It sounds like the Snyder Cut was much more in keeping with the dark and gritty nature that makes DC movies great. Look no further than Joker and The Dark Knight for perfect examples of that. Well, fans will now get to find out if that's the case as the Snyder Cut will be released exclusively on HBO Max in 2021.
That has got people questioning whether another DC movie that didn't live up to the billing might get the same treatment. Suicide Squad received so much hype prior to its release. Hype it didn't really live up to. When director David Ayer was asked on Twitter if he would like to see the Suicide Squad he wanted to be released make it onto HBO Max along with the Snyder Cut, he answered with a resounding yes.
"It’s exhausting getting your ass kicked for a film that got the Edward Scissorhands treatment. The film I made has never been seen," Ayer explained. What's even worse for Ayer is he wasn't replaced as Suicide Squad's director. The movie was simply altered prior to release so that it wasn't in keeping with his vision. Much like Justice League, it felt as if DC was trying to be more like Marvel as opposed to sticking to what makes its movies great.
As DC is attempting to reboot the Suicide Squad franchise via the sequel in the works right now, it's unlikely an Ayer Cut will make it onto HBO Max any time soon. Then again, Warner Bros. is happy to finally show fans the Snyder Cut even though work is currently underway on The Batman. Fans might one day get to see the Ayer Cut of Suicide Squad, but it might take years of campaigning as it did for the Snyder Cut.
