Jared Leto’s turn as The Joker was one of the most polarizing elements of David Ayer’s Suicide Squad. While some fans hated the drastic redesign of the character, others thought it fit in perfectly with the wild, grungy aesthetic Ayer was trying to establish for the film. As such, the “Release the Ayer Cut” fan campaign that has sprung up since the movie’s release is often tied to Leto’s Joker – a character said to have much more footage on the cutting room floor than he has in the actual movie....

It’s been over a year since the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, but the film still finds ways to pop back up into the popular culture. As much as the actual content of the film is still being debated about, the things that were originally supposed to factor into the project have gotten quite a lot of press as well.
