David Ayer has been candid about how he would change
Suicide Squad
if he could do it again, particularly by making Joker the main villain of the film instead of Enchantress. He also said that
his finale of the film
involved Joker making a deal with Enchantress to save Harley, but Harley refuses the offer in favor of her new friends in the squad. Ayer said this would signal Harley’s character arc over the film, but ultimately this never came to screen.
Ayer hasn’t been shy in sharing a slew of new images from the 2016 film, including
teasing a romance between Batman and Harley
. Whether these teases will ever lead to a new cut of
Suicide Squad
being released is uncertain, but it looks like Ayer hasn’t given up on his vision for the film.
