In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Ayer was asked if things have remained radio silent when it comes to getting his original Suicide Squad cut released in the midst of DC Studios" new DC Universe franchise. While Ayer reaffirmed that he has spoken with James Gunn, he stressed that the DCU"s success is currently the main priority for DC Studios, as he stated the following:

David Ayer: Yeah, for sure. When I did speak with James [Gunn], he wanted to [first] get some scores on the board. DC has its history and its legacy, and it’s taking some work to reestablish that IP and get it moving in the direction they want. So it’s absolutely fair for them to do that.
THR: It’s a tricky thing. The previous regime likely hoped that the release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League would satisfy the fans enough for them to move on to their new stuff. But all it did was increase their appetite even more for the Snyderverse (including the Ayer cut).
David Ayer: Yeah, maybe with enough time, it’ll be seen as a more nostalgic thing. But just for the sake of everybody that worked on [2016’s Suicide Squad], it really does deserve to be seen. I am incredibly proud of the work I did there. But at the same time, it’s not my IP, and it’s not my studio. So I absolutely understand what James is doing, and I think he’s going to have some real successes with the lanes he’s going down.
