David Ayer admits James Gunn has good reason not to release his cut of Suicide Squad, but he remains hopeful it’ll happen

David Ayer is still clinging onto a sliver of hope his cut of 2016’s Suicide Squad might see the light of day. Right now, there’s no movement, but the director understands why James Gunn is focused on other priorities.

On the back of new movie A Working Man, starring Jason Statham, Ayer did an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. As ever, his version of Suicide Squad came up, the Ayer Cut as it were, and nothing has changed, though he notes Gunn isn’t in a position to look into it at the minute.
