Could the extended cut focus more on The Joker and Harley's back story?Let's also not forget that a lot of scenes in the various trailers didn't make it into the theatrical release, so maybe there's a chance those could be re-inserted into the film too.The extended version could even be more like a whole new re-cut of the film. It's safe to say many critics had issues with pacing and tonal jumps, so there's incentive for a new cut that is more cohesive. Or it could be like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - The Ultimate Edition and actually be WORSE for being longer. The extended cut of Suicide Squad comes out November 15 on Digital HD and December 13 on Blu-ray.Kevin Spacey as a US congressman in a scene from the Netflix series House Of Cards (AP/Netflix, Melinda Sue Gordon) We ploughed through the first six episodes of House of Cards season 4 to give you a taste of what to expect. Obviously, we don't want to ruin anything for you - and haven't - you'll find only light spoilers ahead.
Having enjoyed a staggeringly consistent run since 2013, House of Cards was the show that really kickstarted the Netflix revolution, showing just how committed the service was to making quality content. Season three ended with President Frank Underwood (still played with masterful gusto by the Golden Globe-winning Kevin Spacey) in a place we hadn't seen him before: on the backfoot with no plan - as well as facing a worthy challenge in the form of fellow Democratic Primary candidate Heather Dunbar (Elizabeth Marvel). The season's closing moments saw Underwood left to ride it solo, his wife - First Lady Claire Underwood (Robin Wright) - leaving him.Below are some spoiler-free pointers on what to expect from the first half of season four. 1. This is Claire's seasonWhile Robin Wright has been there every step of the way, House of Cards is deemed Spacey's show. A dependable force to be reckoned with from the off, the unfairly criticised third season served as an intriguing breakdown of a complex marriage via Claire's realisation that her dreams were being disregarded to further her husband's gain.
Now, with Claire having made her decision to leave Frank, Wright becomes Spacey's match in every sense of the term: for the first time - well, in the first six episodes at least - she accumulates just as much screen time as the President or more. 2. There's an influx of even more strong female charactersThe show has never shied away from inducting new characters into its murky universe - Congresswoman Jackie Sharp... Underwood's biographer Thomas Yates... And this season the new additions are led by Neve Campbell (Scream) who showcases the most staying power as Leann Harvey, a headstrong political consultant caught in the Underwood's cutthroat battle. House of Cards renewed for season 5, but season 4 will be the creator’s last The Oscar-winning Ellen Burstyn takes on a meaty role as Claire's formidable mother while The Help's Cicely Tyson adds spark to the otherwise banal Texan congresswoman Doris Jones. Joel Kinnaman also makes an appearance, but we'll leave it to the final half of the season for the Suicide Squad actor to make his mark.
3. ...as well as the return of some old familiars Having introduced a crop of characters over the past three seasons, House of Cards is now in a position where it can pick and choose who to write back in, if even for a single scene; season four does this with aplomb and, as a consequence, the show (somehow) feels more believable than ever, a firm fixture to your viewing schedule boasting a repertoire of creations up there with TV's best.Returning regulars naturally include Doug Stamper (Michael Kelly) and former White House Chief of Staff, Remy Danton (Mahershala Ali) but intriguingly the first six episodes feature two reappearances you certainly won't be expecting.4. This is the most ambitious season yet Stylistically, the opening episodes posit season four as the show's most ambitious yet - a big statement considering it's risk-taking previous. While there is no moment to rival season two's Zoe Barnes shocker (they give it a good go), the most lingering moments subtly emerge from the script's focus on Frank's inner psyche.
Until now, House of Cards has centred on the character's outward expression of power - not to mention his hunger for it - but the writers have shrewdly stripped that back, instead focusing on the character's internal fears in a way not dissimilar from Tony's dream sequences in The Sopranos. You'll never root for Frank more than you do by the end of these six episodes. 5. A rewatch would be beneficial Past moments are reflected upon - hell, in one instance, reenacted - in a way that'll make more casual viewers scramble their way onto Wikipedia. For the rest of us, this works in the show's favour, providing the show with an intrinsic history that, arguably for the first time, makes the show feel like an assured body of work.As somebody who struggles to binge watch television shows, House of Cards has always been one I've been able to flit through without ever being sure why. I now have an explanation: season four bears the hallmarks of a TV series that finally knows exactly which directions it's headed in.
