One Hollywood director and his crew are reportedly reshooting scenes for their movie to avoid career suicide.

According to Birth.Movies.Death.com, “Suicide Squad” director David Ayer is adding more “humor and lightness” to the film after movie critics called “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice” boring and a big disappointment in their reviews.

An insider told the website’s writer Devin Faraci, that “every joke in the movie is in [the] trailer” and that “the reshoots are happening right now, as recently as this week, and that they’re big — tens of millions of dollars big.”

Meanwhile, Oscar winner Jared Leto, who plays the Joker in the film, posted a video of his villainous character sporting a new look.

“Meet the bearded JOKER #JokerWasHere,” he tweeted while staring into the camera and grunting like an angry wolf.

It’s unknown if his new look will make it into the film.

Hopefully, Batman (played by Ben Affleck) will have better luck when he makes a cameo in “Suicide Squad” — which hits theaters Aug. 5.

The movie, based on DC comic book characters who trade their prison sentences for suicide missions, also stars Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Cara Delevingne, Common and Viola Davis.
