David Ayer, the director of 2016's Suicide Squad has announced that he is preparing to release his director's cut of the film

Apparently, director David Ayer has decided to follow the example of Zack Snyder with his "Zack Snyder's Justice League" and intends to release his director's version of "Suicide Squad", which he believes is infinitely better than the theatrical release.

Here's What We Know

"My cut isn't perfect. But it's vastly better that the studio hack job" Ayer wrote on Twitter earlier this year.

As we know, in today's Hollywood, studios rarely leave directors with the "last word" and more often than not "cut" films to fit the format they need.

But, in extremely rare cases, such as, for example, with Zack Snyder, the director is given the opportunity and financing to complete the film in the director's version. That's what happened with Zack Snyder's Justice League, which was released in 2021.

David Ayer, director of 2016's "Suicide Squad," also believes his "director's cut should see the light of day:

"I think so. I'm going to be hopeful. You know, there are a lot of people that are invested in certain narratives that don't want it to see the light of day." the director said in an interview. "So there's an immense political headwind against it, because if that cut were made public, the cowardliness and the whole just general shittiness of how the film's been treated, and how the actors have had this great work that they'd done taken away… That narrative blows up once people see the movie. But it's coming. Something's going to happen. Something's going to be revealed. The truth always comes out. It always comes out."

Well...perhaps in the new reimagined DC universe, the director will have that opportunity and we'll get to see Ayer's Montage.
