The #ReleaseTheSnyderCut campaign led to Zack Snyder being given the chance to return to Justice League and see his vision for the DC Comics team-up movie to fruition, but it doesn't look like David Ayer will be afforded the same opportunity for his cut of Suicide Squad.
Despite the #ReleaseTheAyerCut movement picking up steam on social media, Warner Bros. CEO Ann Sarnoff made it very clear that she has no intention of revisiting Suicide Squad during a recent interview, and "the studio won't be developing David Ayer's cut."
Now, the director has reacted to this news with the following Tweet.
Not exactly an in-depth response, but Ayer is clearly disappointed, and was probably expecting a more positive update after the release of and reception to Zack Snyder's Justice League.
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."
