David Ayer confirmed Sunday that Joker and Enchantress formed an alliance in the original third act of Suicide Squad<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we here at TCN have previously mentioned<\/a>, studio interference changed a lot from Suicide Squad<\/em>‘s original plan, with over 30 minutes of footage cut for the theatrical film. Ayer has revealed a plethora of changes that were made to the film, including Enchantress’s connection to the New Gods and how the movie intended to set up the threat of Steppenwolf prior to Justice League<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the character most wronged by the theatrical cut, however, was Jared Leto’s Joker\u2014a villain who Ayer says held much more significance in the original film’s third act. In response to a fan on Twitter, Ayer confirmed that Joker made a deal with Enchantress after the helicopter crash, in which he would have full control over Gotham and take back Harley. Ultimately, the Clown Prince would have appeared in Suicide Squad<\/em>‘s third act battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
