David Ayer always has the hope that his Squad suicide cup will be released

Band films have long had a strange heritage; As Io9 recently pointed out, Fantastic Four restart took place about once a decade since the 1990s. But the case of DC The suicide team is a quirk that is its own. David Ayer’s film arrived in 2016 and gave disappointing results; Then James Gunn did Suicide teamA sort of suite which behaved much better, in 2021. Shortly before the release of this last film, Ayer spoke on how The film that hit theaters was not representative of Its planned version– and this is a subject to which he returned over the yearsincluding this week.

For the context, 2021 was the year The Zack Snyder Justice Leaguealias “The Snyder Cut”, finally was born after a lot of agitation of the fans and millions of Bucks by Warner Bros. additional. So when Ayer spoke of the idea of ​​”The Ayer Cut” of The suicide teamThe idea did not seem so wacky. But many things have changed in the cinema since 2021; Gunn is now the co-head of DC Studios, and Warner Bros. is much more interested in save money that apparently never before.

At the beginning of 2024, Gunn spoke to The Hollywood Reporter on sound The suicide team cut; He had spoken to Gunn when Gunn took over at DC, but had not heard updates since. “I can take the clue. It was a silent radio, and I finished pushing a rock on the rise,” he said to trade, stressing that he had gone to other projects.

In a new interview with THR Published this week, he saw these remarks. Although he said that he had not received a recent update from the studio (“When I spoke with James (Gunn), he wanted (first) to obtain scores on the board. DC has his history and his inheritance, and he takes a little work to restore this IP and make him move in the direction they want. So, it is absolutely just for them to do it”)

“Perhaps with enough time, it will be considered a more nostalgic thing. But just for the good of all those who worked (2016 Suicide team), that really deserves to be seen, “said Ayer.” I am incredibly proud of the work I did there. But at the same time, it’s not my IP, and it’s not my studio. So I absolutely understand what James does, and I think he will have real success with the ways he descends. “”

It is certainly clear that he has a good relationship with Gunn; Maybe it will help to switch the scales in the future if The suicide team never revisit. So, how different was her version? Ayer explained: “Many major elements were opposed to the veto at the start. Cooking was then my version of their Cut and their version of their cut. My version especially won, but it was still not the film I was making at all. »»

What do you think: release the Ayer cup or leave The suicide team rest in peace?
