‘Silly rumor. Not true’: ‘Suicide Squad’ director rips the dream away the second it gets dangled

Just for a second there, it looked like it was happening.

It may have been seven years since David Ayer release his unfiltered vision remains as strong as ever.

Under most circumstances you’d call the dedicated followers deluded for carrying on with their demands for so long, but history has shown that Warner Bros. has a precedent for such things. After all, the Snyder Cut of Justice League was a pipedream until it wasn’t, so there’s technically no reason why the Ayer Cut couldn’t follow suit, especially when it would cost a lot less money to put together than HBO Max’s four-hour epic.

This past weekend was the antihero ensemble’s team-up, so there was a renewed focus on Suicide Squad as a result. Naturally, then, rumors began gathering momentum that the Ayer Cut had finally moved from the hypothetical to the tangible, propelled by speculation that James Gunn had agreed to let it happen.

Like clockwork, the internet exploded in joyous celebration at the result, only for the director himself to wade in at lightning-quick speed to dump an ice-cold bucket of water all over it.

Sadly, the Ayer Cut of Suicide Squad has not been officially confirmed. Does that mean it’s time to give up for good, though? Almost certainly not, but the end of the tunnel still seems to be quite a ways away.
