Suicide Squad: 9 Deleted Scenes That Would Have Definitely Improved The Film

9. Opening With June Moone Discovering Enchantress

The Deleted Scene: Suicide Squad as-is opens on a couple of quick character beats - Deadshot and Harley Quinn in their cells, then Amanda Waller lamenting the death of Superman. However, one early cut had it beginning on June Moone's exploration of the jungle temple and subsequent possession by Enchantress, something that in the finished film only plays in abridged form during her character set-up.

Why It Would Have Improved The Film: It straight up gives us a reason for the Squad to be formed and would likely flesh out the villain a little more, establishing what exactly Enchantress is and perhaps seeding some of her choices later on. This was a major flub on the part of the film, with the question of who the big bad was passing over into the first act of the movie and making the whole thing seem rather aimless. Of course, this would mean the first thing we see is Cara Delevingne as an archeologist, but it's a worthy sacrifice.

So, Why Was It Cut? The film's real focus is on it's semi-villainous ensemble, so to have an opening sequence that doesn't directly show them probably didn't appeal to Warner, hence the short intros to the team's key players before their formal vignettes, even if that shows a distinct lack of faith in the audience to let a movie unfold.
