11 Movie Spoilers We Didn’t Know Last Week (April 4th)

11. Suicide Squad Reshoots Are Adding More Humour

One of the big questions surrounding Suicide Squad is exactly what sort of tone it's going to strike: the original trailer suggested a dark and brooding film while the second, set to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, suggested a much lighter, quip-heavy affair akin to Guardians of the Galaxy.

It's now being reported that Warner Bros. have greenlit expensive, $10+ million re-shoots for the David Ayer-directed movie to lighten the film's tone and emphasise fun character moments more.

Though it would be easy to suggest that this is in light of Batman v Superman's negative reviews, it's highly unlikely simply because script modifications of this sort would surely take more than a few days to write and approve, not to mention the scheduling involved in getting everyone together. 

While re-shoots can be worrying, in this case it's more intriguing than anything: are Warner Bros. worried about the movie, or just taking steps to ensure audiences definitely connect with it?
