Suicide Squad: Extended Cut Trailer, Runtime, and Release Date

The extended edition of Suicide Squad (2016), its runtime, and its release date have been announced by Warner Bros. After the litany of reports that were published about the deleted and altered scenes in the theatrical version of Suicide Squad, an extended version of the film was inevitable. With the Christmas shopping season on the horizon, Warner Bros. is taking no cases when it comes to profits that Suicide Squad brings in before the year ends.

The regular edition of Suicide Squad is two hours and ten minutes long. Suicide Squad: Extended Cut will add thirteen minutes of new footage to the film. That will bring the runtime to two hours and twenty-three minutes. After the deleted / alter scenes reports, that seems like a small amount of footage when you consider what was supposedly cut from the film.

Suicide Squad‘s plot synopsis: “It feels good to be bad… Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Super-Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?”
