Suicide Squad director David Ayer has continued his support for fans campaigning to see his original cut of the movie released, claiming studio scissor work “mistreated” Jared Leto and his take on The Joker.Ever since Warner Bros announced that Zack Snyder’s cut of Justice League would be completed for HBO Max, fans have turned their attention to Ayer’s Suicide Squad.Leto’s performance was one of the most divisive aspects of the critically maligned 2016 superhero movie, delivering a vastly different take on the iconic villain.In response to a tweet about the ongoing #ReleaseTheAyerCut campaign, Ayer said that Leto’s performance had been “ripped out of the movie” in the edit.Jared was pretty mistreated during this.
