2016’s 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Suicide Squad theatrical release was, according to director David Ayer, a departure from the original vision for the DC movie – and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:was "ripped to pieces" by Wa꧃rner Bros. Now, one of the editors who worked on the project has spelled out exactly how ཧdifferent the so-called ‘Ayer Cut’ was from what we e🌠nded up seeing in cinemas.

In an interview with , David Hickman outlined how Warner Bros. "wanted to take things in a different d♊irection" with♈ Suicide Squad.

First and foremost, that involved making the movie a lot lighter. "[Ayer’s] was a much darker film," Hickman said. "It was almost like a Black Hawk Down type thing. It was🗹 just very militarized, very serious. I mean, of course there were supposed to🌳 be comedic moments with Will Smith, but it was a darker film."

It was structure, as well as style, that was affected. Hickman revealed Warner Bros. wanted the "origin of the characters to happen much closer to the beginning," instead of being scattered throughout the first 45 minutes of the movie.🐓 "We kind of shoved everything into the viewer's face right up front so that we could get the storyꦍ going," he explained.

Hickman even echoed Ayer’s previous remarks that more footage from Jared Leto’s Joker – who made a belated return in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Zack Snyder’s Justice League in the new Knigh🎶tmare sequence – was left on theౠ cutting room floor.

In 2020, Ayer said Leto’s scenes involved "incredible acting" as a "terrifying"﷽ Joker. Hickman said that while he thought Leto "did a really good job" as the Clown Prince of Crime, "we just couldn't find a𝔍 purpose for it because sometimes he would just go off on such crazy, insane tangents and it would be really hard to weave it into the film."

However, it doesn’t look like David Ayer’s director’s cut will ever see the light of day. Warner Bros. CEO Ann Sarnoff said in an interview with that the studio "won’t be developing David Ayer’s cut" – and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the director responded on Twitter with a sad face emoji an🦄d one ꩵword: "Why?"

It’s a question that might echo for some time to come – but is unlikely to ever get a Snyder Cut-style answer. A new Suicide Squad movie, directed by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn, is due out in August.
