Want more supervillain action in "Suicide Squad?" Of course, there's nothing greater than a second movie installment. However, if you're looking for something quick to ease your Suicide Squad withdrawal then good news, the film's cast has just disclosed about the ever-controversial deleted scenes.
The anti-hero team adventure has garnered a mixed reaction from fans, said Screenrant. While Margot Robbie's wild performance as Harley Quinn and the film's unique visual design have gained praises, the story, script and character development received nasty comments, especially Joker's (played by Jarred Leto) very little screen-time. Everybody loves him, right?
And guess where the blame lies?
Reports began to circulate suggesting that the studio intervened and re-edits were made to the film. Rumors further said that most of the unused (yet everybody wants to see) scenes featured Leto's Joker, which is the reason why he has so little screen time.
"Suicide Squad's" director and writer, David Ayer, however, said that the cut we saw in theaters was all his.
In a recent interview with MTV, the remarkable "Suicide Squad" cast talked freely about their favorite scenes in the movie that ended up being scrapped.
Watch the video below:
Aside from Will Smith's joke on a romantic subplot between Deadshot and Rick Flag. A Reddit user has summarized the list of deleted scenes based on the cast members' interview and other reports. Below are some of the most interesting ones:
- El Diablo escorted to the training center while placed in a tube filled with water to extinguish his flames, and then he unceremoniously dropped to the ground.
- Backstory of Killer Croc as a social outcast because of his physical appearance. And his apparent meeting with Batman while working as muscle-for-hire for crime bosses in Gotham.
- More scenes of Rick Flag and June Moon's romance including one where they were out on a date.
- Scene where Joker and Harley got into a fight where the latter ends up pointing a gun at Joker's head. Joker sweet-talks him to lower the gun and backhands her across the face. He sweet-talks her again and they kiss.
- In Harley's flashback scene, there was originally an extended dance scene in Joker's nightclub.
Let's just hope (and pray) these deleted scenes will see the light on the "Suicide Squad" DVD for home release.
