And yet

There's absolutely no substantial evidence for editorial or indeed any creative interference in the films by WB. This isn't a David Ayer film, its a Peter Jackson film and I'm sure he had final cut.

If anything, in the New-Line days, with the fate of the studio resting on the films and Jackson being a relativelly unproven director, you'd see more room for the studio to interfere. Indeed, for The Lord of the Rings, Jackson shared final cut with Robert Shaye, although Shaye never used this.

One the pieces I like pointing to is that Jackson told Stephen Fry that the studio will see the rushes of him chomping into the mountain oysters before they'll be notified that the script was rewritten. Likewise, Jackson said Warner Brothers didn't want the title of the third film to change to "The Battle of the Five Armies", and yet Jackson did it. Those two examples (and there are more) are enough to show that there probably wasn't any real interference in the films.
