Suicide Squad: Jared Leto's same-sex kiss cut from the final movie

'Then he f**king grabs me and kisses me. On the mouth, full kisses me'

Jared Leto has said in several interviews that various Joker scenes originally scheduled to appear in Suicide Squad were cut.

Actor Ike Barinholtz – who played Griggs, a Belle Reve senior security officer of intimidated by the Joker — has revealed one of those scenes included a kiss between himself and Leto.

“I do this scene with Jared Leto and he’s supposed to be intimidating me,” Ike told Howard Stern (via Gay Times), explaining how the improvised scene went down.

“He comes in, he’s the Joker, and he starts squeezing my tits. He’s like [panting and moaning] ‘You’re a big guy’.

"This is while we’re filming. Then he f**king grabs me and kisses me. On the mouth, full kisses me.

“I thought, OK, I’m just gonna go with it. But then he’s like, [panting and moaning again] ‘Did someone piss their pants?’ I’m like, now I did because you said I did!”

Recently, work has continued on the sequel to Suicide Squad, with The Legend of Tarzan writer Adam Cozad on board to pen the script. Mel Gibson is also rumoured to be talking with Warner Bros. and DC about directing.
