James Gunn knocked it out of the park with The Suicide Squad, so it's hard to imagine that the DC Extended Universe movie could have potentially played out differently.
Of course, not everything that is written or filmed ends up making the final cut, and now Gunn has revealed which scene was the most difficult to let go of in the editing process.
After sharing a compilation of some of The Suicide Squad's best bloopers on Twitter, Gunn responded to a fan's question about the one scene he would add to an extended cut if it were to ever exist.
As well as confirming that any extended version is out of the question, the filmmaker described his favorite scene that failed to make the final cut.
"I cut them all for reasons so there wouldn't be an extended cut but the last, hardest to let go was Polka-Dot Man and Thinker in the van intercut with Ratcatcher 2 chasing King Shark", Gunn responded.
Unfortunately for King Shark fans, that wasn't the only scene featuring Sylvester Stallone's anti-hero that never made the light of day.
"Also King Shark looking out the window at the denizens of Corto Maltese to @Jessiereyez's Sola," James added.
Meanwhile, in other Suicide Squad-related news, James Gunn recently opened up about his decision to keep the moment Bloodsport's team massacre a guerrilla platoon, only to later discover that their victims were actually the good guys, in the movie.
"The stuff with Bloodsport and Peacemaker, I had a lot of reservations about," he conceded, before admitting that he still "loves the sequence".
"It's funny and it goes to the heart of what the movie is about, for me, in terms of Bloodsport's journey of starting to learn that being a man and being a leader is not synonymous with being a toxic man, and that the path forward to true manhood is through vulnerability."
