David Ayer, the director of movies like The Beekeeper, Fury, and 2016’s Suicide Squad, has seemingly accepted that his lower of the superhero movie primarily based on nothing however villains will not be launched any time quickly – however that does not imply he’s giving up on it both. On social media, the director typically addresses the existence of his director’s lower, and, like with Zack Snyder’s Justice League, web legions have created the hashtag motion #ReleaseTheAyerCut. Nevertheless, Warner Bros. has not heard the pleas as they did with Snyder, and Suicide Squad: The Director’s Minimize stays a shelved film.
The director is at present selling his newest motion movie starring Jason Statham. A Working Man is ready to be launched on March 28, and early evaluations verify it is one more motion victory for Statham. The movie stars Statham in addition to David Harbour, Michael Peña, Noemi Gonzalez, Arianna Rivas and Jason Flemyng, amongst others. Whereas selling the film, he was requested about Suicide Squad, a subject that appears to be obligatory for each speak with Ayer. He says that he hasn’t heard something a few potential launch, particularly now that James Gunn is main DC Studios in one other route:
“Once I did communicate with James, he needed to [first] get some scores on the board. DC has its historical past and its legacy, and it is taking some work to reestablish that IP and get it shifting within the route they need. So it is completely truthful for them to do this.”

‘A Working Man’ Director David Ayer on Reuniting with Jason Statham for Extra Motion
David Ayer discusses reuniting with Jason Statham after ‘The Beekeeper’ for his or her new motion thriller ‘A Working Man,’ out March 28.
Suicide Squad was an inexpensive hit, but it surely was panned by critics. Sadly, Ayer himself was not very proud of the theatrical lower, and finally, he disowned the movie. Years later, James Gunn stepped into the DCEU and made his personal standalone sequel titled The Suicide Squad. It was a lot better acquired by critics, but it surely did not make some huge cash. Regardless, Ayer appears to have understood that he is merely not in command of what occurs in that a part of the franchise:
“Perhaps with sufficient time, it will be seen as a extra nostalgic factor. However only for the sake of everyone that labored on [2016’s Suicide Squad], it actually does need to be seen. I’m extremely pleased with the work I did there. However on the similar time, it isn’t my IP, and it isn’t my studio. So I completely perceive what James is doing, and I believe he will have some actual successes with the lanes he is taking place.”
Ought to Ayer Maintain Pushing for the Launch of the “AyerCut”?
Ayer’s Hollywood run is not good. However he is achieved fairly attention-grabbing motion pictures like Fury, and Netflix’s Brilliant was reported to be worthwhile for the streamer, no matter its terrible evaluations. The Beekeeper, starring Jason Statham, was as ridiculous in idea because it was profitable with audiences. The 2024 hit was profitable sufficient to make him land A Working Man. So, we do not see him taking a break any time quickly.
After virtually a decade because the authentic film’s launch, the true query is whether or not pursuing the Ayer Minimize is only a waste of time on everybody’s half. Gunn’s DCU is heading in a brand new route, and most of the people – excluding these nonetheless pushing the #Releasetheayercut tag at any and each alternative – have moved on too. Maybe it is time to settle for that the director’s lower of Suicide Squad could by no means be launched…however we all know by no means to say by no means, do not we.
