Back in 2016, the world got to see Margot Robbie and Will Smith team up with DC. While the film ended up being a full-blown hit, there have been a few unfulfilled promises of a director’s cut of the David Ayer movie. With the universe having been taken over by James Gunn, talks of the longer version ended up disappearing. Although now it looks like the director is still clinging on to hope that it might just come out.

While fans gave up hope long before the reboot plans came into motion, Ayer stood steadfast, hoping the cut could someday become a reality.

David Ayer claims his Suicide Squad cut is “coming”

According to reports from Games Radar, David Ayer ended up making some rather bold and confident claims about a director’s cut for Suicide Squad in a recent interview with Total Film. He said that he believes that his cut will someday be released. However, he is uncertain about when. He told the publication that he thinks, “It’s coming. Something’s going to happen. Something’s going to be revealed.”

While he might be the only one left who is hopeful, he also claimed that there were “a lot of people” who “don’t want it to see the light of day.” Although he did not drop names, he also said that holding the cut back would be disappointing for the actors as they “had this great work they’d done taken away.” However, there is no saying how this could end up playing out, as James Gunn has not mentioned anything about it so far.

Gunn may be keeping his cards close to his chest, but Ayer seems to be doing just the opposite. Just a while ago, The Beekeeper director backed his fellow director when a fan brought up the Suicide Squad director’s cut.

David Ayer defended James Gunn over DCU reboot plans

Some time ago, James Gunn shattered many fans’ hearts by ridding DC of a lot of the Justice League actors from their roles. While not everyone agreed with his plans of moving forward, there were some who were still hung up over Suicide Squad‘s director’s cut by David Ayer. Some fans shared their thoughts on the situation and even tagged the director. However, surprisingly, he ended up taking Gunn’s side in the matter.

In a post to his social media, he ended up saying that he could not wait to see “Gunn’s Superman” and went on to say that he was the “bravest man in Hollywood” as he had taken “charge of the hardest ship to Captian in this industry.”
