Are director's or extended blueray cuts of theatrical releases considered the new canon?

A Good example would be watchmen. Or what if they did a director's cut of Age of Ultron?

I'm going to bump this. Not sure if some of you are aware, but Batman v Superman is - potentially - getting an R-rated director's cut on blue ray via some "ultimate edition" for "scenes of violence". Now if the director goes through the process of re-adding deleted scenes from a film that had them removed to meet an industry standard (MPAA rating), wouldn't that technically be a retcon and make the director's cut or extended version the new canon? Some other good examples would be Watchmen or the Donner's Superman 2 (in the theatrical version, the kryptonians appear to be killed, movie and TV versions have them being arrested by police). Just saying, would be a shame to miss feats if there are any added by the director or studio.

I'm all for having D-cuts as canon if it doesn't contradict anything.

For example, the water Thor bathe in in AoU doesn't contradict anything. More like it supplements what was lacking, which is the explanation on how he learned about the infinity stones.

Yeah I'm suprised they cut that scene out. I don't think viewers would have minded the few extra minutes.

Viewers won't, but it was already way above the length of a standard movie that the directors had to give Whedon an ultimatum. It was Thor's swimming or Hawkeye's house.

Then there's this.
