Will Smith Says He Could Return As The DCEU’s Deadshot

No offense to Idris Elba, who finally found a Hollywood blockbuster that maximizes his gruff charisma and hard-edged intensity in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, but you can’t help but feel the entire role of Bloodsport was only written into the movie because Will Smith didn’t return as Deadshot.

In fact, when casting news first started circulating, it was implied that Elba would be replacing Smith as Floyd Lawton, before the confusion was swiftly cleared up. Looking at his skills, personality, difficult relationship with his daughter and status as the unofficial leader of Task Force X, it wouldn’t have taken much of a rewrite to have Robert DuBois replace the first installment’s expert assassin in the script.
