David Ayer comments on bringing his cut of ‘Suicide Squad’ to streaming

The early years of the DC Extended Universe were a bit rocky. Suicide Squad was only the third movie to come out as part of the DCEU and while the film made $746 million at the box office, it was critically panned, reaching only 26% on Rotten Tomatoes. The production of the film is notorious, as Warner Bros. had director David Ayer change up the film quite a bit with reshoots. What fans ended up getting was a film that felt like two different movies trying to be one.

With the success of Zack Snyder’s Justice League, there has been fan support for an “Ayer Cut” of Suicide Squad. Perhaps the performance that was most affected by the studio’s version of the film was Jared Leto’s as the Joker. Leto recently decided to throw his support behind a release of the Ayer Cut. Ayer himself took note of Leto’s comments and stated that streaming exists so something like the Ayer Cut can see the light of day.
