Comic book films have had a strange legacy for a long time. As IO9 recently pointed out, Fantastic Four The reboot has been performed about once a year since the 1990s. But in the case of DC Suicide Squad It’s strange. The David Ayer film arrived in 2016 with overwhelming results. Later, it was made by James Gunn. Suicide Squadsome sort of sequel has gotten much better in 2021. Shortly before the release of the latter film, Ayer spoke about how the film that smashed the theatres did not represent his intended version.
For context, 2021 was the year Zack Snyder’s Justice Leagueaka “The Snyder Cut” finally saw the light of the day after many fans’ upsets and millions of Warner Bros. Bucks. So when Ayer first cultivated the idea of ”Ayer Cut.” Suicide Squadthe idea didn’t seem that far. But since 2021, there have been a lot of changes in the film Biz. Gunn is currently co-head of DC Studios, and Warner Bros. is far more interested in saving money than ever.
In early 2024, cancer spoke Hollywood Reporter About him Suicide Squad Cut; When Gunn took over in DC, he told Gunn about it, but hadn’t heard of an update since. “I can get some hints. It was radio silent, and I ended up pushing up the rocks,” he told Trade, emphasizing that he had moved to other projects.
In a new interview with thr He revisited those comments, released this week. While he said he hadn’t gotten a recent update from the studio (“When I spoke to James [Gunn]he wanted to [first] Get some scores on the board. DC has its history and legacy, and does some work to reestablish its IP and move it in the direction they want. It’s absolutely fair for them to do that.”) He also had a bit of “never say” to add to it.
“If you probably have enough time, it’s going to be considered more nostalgic, but just for everyone who worked. [2016’s Suicide Squad]it really deserves to be seen,” Ayer said. But at the same time, it’s not my IP, it’s my studio. So I fully understand what James is doing and I think he’s trying to get some real success in the lane he’s down. ”
It is certainly clear that he has a good relationship with cancer. Perhaps it will help you tilt the scale of the future Suicide Squad I will not revisit. So how different is his version? Ayer explained: Their Cut and cut version. My version mostly won, but it was still not a film I made. ”
What do you think: release Ayer Cut, Suicide Squad rest in peace?
