SUICIDE SQUAD Director David Ayer Sets The Record Straight On Joker Deleted Scenes Rumor

There's been a strange rumor floating around online about exactly how much of Jared Leto's Joker performance ended up on the cutting room floor, but director David Ayer has now set the record straight!

Things have been quiet on the #ReleaseTheAyerCut front these past few weeks, and Suicide Squad director David Ayer seems to have slowed his roll when it comes to dropping any big reveals! 

However, with so much chatter surrounding his original vision for Task Force X's big screen debut, there are a lot of rumors floating around online. For example, one Twitter user looking for Retweets and Likes recently dropped the bold claim that there's an additional 39 minutes of Joker footage sitting somewhere in the Warner Bros. lot. 

It's not exactly breaking news that much of Leto's performance was cut by Warners brass, but nearly 40 minutes? That seems like a lot, and Ayer, who has said in the past that it's more like 10 minutes, was quick to set the record straight. 

Even just those extra 10 minutes would be a blast to see, especially as Ayer recently divulged that the Joker was going to reappear during the final act to make a bargain with Enchantress. 

There are claims out there that WarnerMedia is seriously considering releasing the #AyerCut of Suicide Squad on HBO Max, but it's likely they will want to see how Justice League does before making a commitment.

They could've added it to the movie. It's not like it would've ''damaged'' it

Im probably in the minority, but id be down for an Ayer Cut. I'm just a fan of the characters. I gotta admit i have only seen Suicide once though. But WB, allegedly, has been such a shi t show. I'm willing to sit through it one more time and see what Ayer had in mind.

From the character design, to the dialogue, to the "acting", this was a dreadful interpretation of the Joker and luckily brief. Adding any screentime to such a terrible performance would be like drizzling dirreha on top of a solid piece of shit. I'm still cringing internally from Leto's pointless "performance".

Why is Hollowood currently convinced that MORE of a bad thing is a good thing?

That's nice of him to set the record he's regularly messing up straight.

I'm just glad that finally we get the justice we deserve. With the Ayer and Snyder Cut these two misunderstood classics will finally be seen as the monumental pictures they were intended to be!
These 60 additional minutes to Justice League will turn a terrible movie into a great epos overshadowing cinematic misfires like The Godfather.

All hail Snyder and Ayer. For we get what we want!

I love how he's obviously starting to backtrack on the Ayer Cut because Warner Brothers told him to knock it off.

It’s funny how everyone doesn’t want this cut but you guys all want the justice league one, that movie was an even bigger piece of trash than SS was
