Warner Bros. Discovery went through a complete overhaul of their business after their merger was completed. Which resulted in a bunch of films and TV shows being canceled to save money or give the company tax cuts. Newly appointed CEO David Zaslav touted some big plans for the company, including finding a Kevin Feige type executive to run their DC Studios arm, and he delivered on that promise by appointing James Gunn and Peter Safran as co-CEOs of the subdivision. Gunn and Safran have been hard at work on developing a new slate that will be released in theaters over the next ten years, so they have no plans on revisiting the past. Gunn previously directed The Suicide Squad, a sequel to 2016’s dumpster fire event film, and he completely ignored it in his film. Suicide Squad’s director David Ayer has previously spoken out about how the studio interfered with his cut of the film and that he thinks his version is better. Now Ayer is doubling down on his comments after responding to a fan on Twitter. You can check out his comments below!
Normally you’re absolutely right. This is an extraordinary case of a movie being utterly re-engineered in post. It’s not a couple cut scenes being added. The nature of the film was fundamentally changed. I’m looking you in the eye telling you this. My cut is vastly better. 🫶🏼 https://t.co/CFvfZ7jfHx
