We already know that the theatrical cut of Suicide Squad was quite different to what director David Ayer had originally envisioned for his movie, with Warner Bros. making several major changes to the story and significantly altering the tone.

Now that the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut campaign has seen success with the announcement of a HBO Max debut for Zack Snyder's Justice League, some fans have turned their attention to Task Force X's much-maligned big-screen debut.

Ayer has already admitted that he'd love to be able to show the world his original cut of the film, but when asked about the possibility on Twitter, the filmmaker pointed out that it's simply not his call.

At&T has actually hinted that we could see the "Ayer Cut" down the line, but it's probably not something that's been given any serious consideration one way or the other. Who knows - if enough fans want to see it and Snyder's Justice League is a success, we may one day get to find out what Suicide Squad would have looked like before WB took a mallet to it.

We've seen Ayer with no strings attached. It was called Bright, and it was even worse than Suicide Squad.

@IronMandarin - Or he’s playing nice with WB.

@BobbyW - Well see that's most likely what it is.

He initially claimed that the trailer park cut of Suicide Squad was his ansd that it was good. This would seemingly be him trying to appease WB as you said.

But since then he's been playing the tortured artist game and saying that WB butchered his film.

I'm just like which is it dude? Pick one!

@IronMandarin - it’s pretty easy to see I’d say. With Zack’s situation this has opened up the opportunity for him to speak up. He’s still seemingly walking a fine line in terms of what he says. He doesn’t have the same pull Zack has with WB or the big movement.

In any case, I think artists should be allowed to release their original pieces.

@IronMandarin - I wish they could speak their minds but we all know how Hollywood is such a tight-knit environment. You upset the wrong person and your career is over. Very politically correct system. Then again that's also how it is with any kind of job. Sometimes you just wish you could tell your boss what you really think of them. All about not burning bridges more or less.

Good interaction by the way, nice talking to you.
