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.
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, but he's now revealed that he's watched it "for the first time since it was abandoned," and that "it is f*cking amazing."
Ayer also claims that it's tonally much closer to that incredible first trailer that screened at SDCC.
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.
What do you make of Ayer's comments? Would you be interested in seeing his original take on Suicide Squad?
