Warner Bros. today announced that this summer's blockbuster action movie Suicide Squad is getting "bigger and badder than ever" with an extended cut coming to home video this year.
The Extended Cut will be available on digital HD on November 15, followed by a physical release for Blu-ray on December 13. There isn't much information to be gleaned from the announcement trailer below, but one possibility is that the home video release contains more footage of Jared Leto's Joker.
According to Leto, the number of Joker scenes cut from Suicide Squad's theatrical version amounted to enough to fill an entire Joker movie.
"I think that I brought so much to the table in every scene, it was probably more about filtering all of the insanity," Leto said in an earlier interview. "Because I wanted to give a lot of options, and I think there's probably enough footage in this film for a Joker movie.
Harley Quinn actress Margot Robbie added that she and Leto filmed many flashback sequences for Harley and Joker. While the backstory sequences were powerful, according to Robbie, they did not push the story forward and could have in fact "confused" the present-day storyline.
Critics might not have loved Suicide Squad, but it made more than $739 million at the box office, according to Box Office Mojo. Naturally, a sequel is believed to be in the works.
