David Ayer has reacted to Warner Bros. CEO Ann Sarnoff 澳洲幸运5开🃏奖号码历史查询:pouring wateꦚr over hopes for an Ayer Cut.

"We won't be developing Da꧙vid Ayer's cut," Sarnoff told . Responding to the news on Twitter, Ayer wrote: "Why?" complete with a sad emoji.

The Ayer Cut is an alternate version of Ayer's much-maligned 2016 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Suicide Squad. According to Ayer, the film was 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"ripped to pieces," but his own version would be 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"easy to complete" – and he would clearly still like to see it. Margot Robbie, who plays Harley Quinn in the DCEU, has also said she's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"curious" about the Ayer Cut.

Cyborg actor Ray Fisher showed his support with a tweet that read "#ReleaseTheAyerCut," and the hashtag trended on Twitter in the wake of Sarnoff's comments. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Zack Snyder's Justice League, of course, only saw the light of day after a pass🐓ionate fan campaign, 🅘which used the hashtag #ReleaseTheSnyderCut.

It's not that surprising that there are no plans to release the Ayer Cut, considering 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn's soft-reboot/sequel The Suicide Squad is set for a simultaneous theatrical and HBO Max release this summer. Throwing a third version of Suicide Squad into the mi😼x might make things a bit too confusin🍌g.

Suicide Squad debuted to largely negative reviews, but performed well at the box office. Robbie's Harley Quinn has also become a fan favorite, going on to star in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Birds of Prey as well as the upcoming The Suicide Squad. A major point of criticism about the movie was Jared Leto's Joker, who appeared again in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Snyder Cut. Ayer has claimed before that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Harl♚ey and Joker scenes with "incredible acting" were cut from the movie.

While we might never get to see the Ayer Cut, the Snyder Cut is streaming now on HBO Max (and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:VOD services around the world). If you've w🔜atched all four hours, check out our deep 𝕴dives into the movie here:
