WarnerMedia CEO Ann Sarnoff has shot down the possibility of David Ayer’s original Suicide Squad cut getting released.
Despite the enthusiasm generated by Zack Snyder’s cut of Justice League, which released on HBO Max this past weekend to much acclaim from fans and critics alike, WarnerMedia CEO Ann Sarnoff has shot down the possibility of David Ayer’s Suicide Squad receiving the same treatment in an interview with Variety.

Among the people disappointed by the news is David Ayer himself, who responded to Sarnoff’s comments by simply asking « Why? » Ayer has publicly supported the idea of his original cut of Suicide Squad being released since Zack Snyder’s Justice League became official, stating on Twitter that his cut of the film « would be easy to complete.
