One person in particular, Karen Fukuhara, has responded to the movement directly shortly before the upcoming DC FanDome event. The actress for the film’s version of vigilante anti-hero Katana spoke about the movement with several press outlets, remarking on how likely such a release could be, and if it should even be attempted.

Speaking to Radiotimes.com, Fukuhara expressed a cautious excitement over the idea: “I always support more Katana because I love her, but I personally have never seen The Ayer Cut before at all, so I don’t know what it would have been like. Obviously, the original script was a little bit different.” Ayer himself has taken to Twitter as of late, commenting that his original vision for the film was ripped away by studio interference, writing: “After the BVS reviews shell shocked the leadership at the time, and the success of Deadpool - My soulful drama was beaten into a ‘comedy’”
Whether or not the Ayer Cut is even feasible is another question. While the upcoming release of the Snyder Cut proves that revisiting a film in a significant rework is certainly possible, it does come with significant expense. While Snyder and the Justice League have a high enough profile that Warner Bros. is willing to risk the investment, Suicide Squad doesn’t have quite the same brand awareness or hardcore audience, at least not yet. Until someone more closely associated with Warner Bros. chooses to comment on the discourse, it seems that the Ayer Cut will continue to be entirely hypothetical.
