10 Scenes You Need To See In Suicide Squad’s Extended Cut

6) Rick Loves June

For some reason, it was Deadshot and Flag’s interactions that were hit the hardest in the severed theatrical cut. As well as the scene we just mentioned, another sequence that features the pair bonding is seen in the extended version for the first time. In addition to furthering the duo’s growing mutual respect for one another, it also allows for a little more substance to Rick and June’s love story – something that was hugely undercooked in the original cut.

After the group has reformed and is heading out to the big showdown with Enchantress and Incubus, Rick takes the time to explain to Deadshot how June turned his world upside down. He says he never believed in love… “until I met June.”

It’s significant that he’s telling this to Deadshot, as we know that the assassin had a similar change of heart himself. Despite his claims to Harley earlier in the movie that he’s never felt love, we know that he lives to see his daughter again.

Along with Harley, El Diablo calling the gang his “family” and even Boomerang’s crush on Katana, it seems that many of the Suicide Squad are mushier than you might expect for a bunch of supervillains.
