We’ve always known that much of David Ayer’s vision for 2016’s Suicide Squad was chopped out of the theatrical version of the movie, hence why fans are so desperate for Warner Bros. to share the director’s cut of the film. And now, the director has revealed just how much was lost from the theatrical release, claiming on social media that the first 40 minutes were left on the cutting room floor.

Ayer often responds to fans on Twitter, answering their questions about what he had planned in SS that we never got to see. This Saturday, one person asked him: “What was the toughest scene to leave on the cutting room floor?” Ayer simply responded: “The first 40 minutes.” Ouch.
