David Ayer began to tease his original version of Suicide Squad around the same time Zack Snyder's Justice League was officially announced, and has continued to gain support for his director's cut of the divisive DC Comics movie since.
During an interview with John Doe Movie Reviews, Snyder was asked if he knew anything about the "Ayer Cut," and revealed that while he's yet to speak to the director about it, he fully supports Ayer - and filmmakers in general - being given the opportunity to realize their visions.
“I haven’t talked to David about it, but I’m sure I will. I know him quite well,” said Snyder. “I’ve just been swamped because of COVID. But it’s on my list of things to talk to him about. Like, I support any filmmaker who needs to get their version of their movie or their vision sort of seen, because I’ve had such generous support. So, I really would hope that other people would get that same thing.”
Ayer has always maintained that Warner Bros. made extensive alternations to his film, and that the theatrical release differed considerably from his original vision for Task Force X. The filmmaker has strongly hinted that a director's cut does exist in the past, and recently revealed that he's watched it "for the first time since it was abandoned," and that "it is f*cking amazing."
Whether we actually get to see a director's cut of Suicide Squad remains uncertain, but it may very well depend on how the "Snyder Cut" of Justice League does when it comes to HBO Max next year.
