Jared Leto's time as the DCEU's Joker was cut short before it even began. After starring as Gotham's Clown Prince of Crime in 2016's Suicide Squad, Leto' has gone on to do other things. However, even though a significant amount of time has passed since, it appears that Leto still can't get over his dream of a potential "Ayer Cut" release coming to HBO Max.
Is Warner Bros. and DC ever going to release Ayer Cut?
The #AyerCut is a slightly smaller movement similar to the #SnyderCut trend that went viral a few years ago and that ultimately led to Zack Snyder's Justice League that was released earlier this year. According to several sources, including Leto, the #AyerCut is a significantly different movie from what audiences saw back in 2016 when the original Suicide Squad first premiered.
With streaming now much more prevalent than ever before, Leto argued in an interview with Variety that it just makes sense for Warner Bros. and DC to release Ayer Cut. He goes as far as to question why the respective studios wouldn't do it, saying that it is "what streaming's for." Ayer later seconded Leto's statement in a later tweet, agreeing that the #AyerCut is "exactly what streaming is for."
