For the ordeal he went by means of by the hands of Warner Bros., Suicide Squad director David Ayer can (quite hyperbolically) be referred to as an ‘harmless sufferer’ of the chaos that sustained the DCEU up till 2023. He’s been vocal about his expertise making the 2016 movie, which was taken from him and recut drastically.
His imaginative and prescient ruined and most none the wiser about that for years, Ayer garnered a whole lot of sympathy for his plight ensuing from being denied by a company forms and misrepresented within the media. Like Zack Snyder, there have been requires his model of the Squad to be launched, which could have righted a couple of wrongs.
The marketing campaign for the discharge of the Ayer Lower quieted down however by no means really went away. A renewed push was able to roll out concurrently with the Superman teaser trailer, which Ayer didn’t need to intervene with. He made this want recognized on X, urging his supporters to carry off and let James Gunn’s movie absorb the eye.
“I didn’t notice James was dropping Creature Commandos when the final Ayer reduce marketing campaign hit,” Ayer wrote. “The brand new Superman trailer is dropping quickly and I do know there’s intentions of one other marketing campaign for my model of Skwad.”
“As a movie makers I need to assist different movie makers. I’m excited to see the trailer and have heard by means of the rumor mill it’s fairly unimaginable,” he added, “I simply need to publicly say it could be good to remain far away from Thursday for any campaigning.”
His submit concluded, “I respect everybody listening to me out. On the finish of the day I’m driving a tiger right here. Simply getting into heard on this,” punctuated by a praying-hands emoji.
Sadly, Ayer’s try and be diplomatic and constructive backfired with a piece of DC fandom, and he went again on X to deal with it.
“My Lord. If supporting one other movie maker is so contentious, I’m simply misplaced at this level,” he started in a second submit. “Once I was a child I had a nightmare childhood. My greatest pals have been comedian books. They held me and gave me firm when nobody else did.”
“Batman spoke to my injured soul. Superman’s optimism was an instance see the world with out darkness,” he mentioned.
“I can not f-king wait to see Jame’s trailer. Actual discuss. And I can not wait to see his movie. And completely am certain he crushed it. As a result of that straightforward optimism of Superman is throughout it. And the little child in me wants that proper now,” Ayer continued.
“I’m a nasty man for that? So be it,” he added. “I do troll what I can management. And might’t what I can’t. Gonna step again from all this for a second.” Most assume Ayer meant social media when he mentioned “step again,” however he’s nonetheless updating his account.
Others in his discipline have deserted X (or feigned doing so) in favor of options resembling Bluesky due to comparable opinionated opposition. Within the case of director Rob Reiner, the grass wasn’t so greener elsewhere and he give up social media altogether.

Again on Ayer’s X web page, there are nasty feedback with expletives in each of his threads, however for probably the most half, individuals who really feel let down by his preliminary remarks reply with extra self-control. Furthermore, a substantial variety of replies agree with and assist him.
The Beekeeper director nonetheless hopes their assist will deliver the discharge of his imaginative and prescient to fruition, although he acknowledges he’s not in command of that. “I hope my actual movie will be shared sooner or later. I respect the continued assist and curiosity,” he posted earlier in December.
When questioned about its high quality, Ayer responded, “One of the best model merely has not been seen. I understand how tough it’s for somebody exterior the business to grasp how insanely completely different [two] cuts [of] a movie will be. In case you dislike what you’ve seen, right here’s a possibility to see what I really supposed after which decide after you have all the data.”
