He continued, “That narrative blows up once people see the movie. But it’s coming. Something’s going to happen. Something’s going to be revealed. The truth always comes out. It always comes out.”
Ayer had previously revealed DC Studios co-head James Gunn was open to eventually releasing his cut of Suicide Squad at some point.
“All I know is my unseen film plays much better than the studio release,” Ayer said on X back in
