The fact that James Gunn will coordinate all DC operations on the big and small screen, makes popular filmmaker like Kevin Feige of Marvel. So for the next few years, what Gunn will say about the DC world will be “law” and what the director just said about suicide squad it’s something that has excited the fans. The director has in fact opened up the possibility to Ayer Cut of the 2016 Suicide Squad, a project that has been under discussion since the release of Justice League’s Snyder Cut was announced.
James Gunn said about it:
When opening Twitter, I saw a lot of hashtags on #SaveLegendsofTomorrow & #ReleaseTheAyerCut, with fans supporting these projects for a while. Most of these requests were enthusiastic and respectful. As CEO of DC Studios, Peter Safran and I think it’s important to listen to you and let you know that we want to fulfill the wishes of fans. While the ability to communicate on Twitter is somewhat dictated by our new position, we are ready to listen to anyone who can support us on our journey.
James Gunn himself was some time ago the protagonist of an issue on Twitter about the Ayer Cut of Suicide Squad, and for which the two directors, David Ayer and James Gunn himself, had clarification on the social platform. In the accused tweet, Instagrammer Carmen Valentina sided with The Suicide Squad actor Pete Davidson and instead criticized David Ayer’s DC Comics film, calling it “a shit.” James Gunn initially liked the post, which he later removed by clarifying his position. These are the director’s words:
Just to be clear, Pete had been criticized a lot, and I read the first sentence of the tweet and “liked” it. Afterward, someone reported the full content and I immediately removed the likes and apologized to David Ayer privately.
Gunn’s words were followed by David Ayer’s, who confirmed the filmmaker’s version and added:
Thing? Are There Still Internet Dramas? I thought 2022 would be a little different. James I am with you. I am going to sleep now. ps. Peacekeeper is great.
Recall that James Gunn has made a kind of sequel/remake of Suicide Squad with his 2021 The Suicide Squad. While David Ayer has been trying to envision his version of the 2016 feature film for a while, which has undergone several prolific conditioning. Proof of all this can be the evolution of the Suicide Squad trailers: from the dark realms of the first teaser of 2015 we moved on to the light-hearted and rather comedic of 2016. Everything seems to have been dictated by the release of films like Deadpool. , and the Warner Crisis resulting from the failure of Batman v Superman, released a few months before the arrival of Suicide Squad.
