DEADSHOT Official AI Trailer 2024 Will Smith Action Movie

It looks like the reports of Idris Elba replacing Will Smith as Deadshot for James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad film may have had some validity to them in the first place.

Back when Elba was first cast, rumors stated he was coming aboard to replace Will Smith as Deadshot, the leader of the original team in David Ayer’s film. However, it didn’t take long for those reports to be adjusted, instead claiming that Elba would be an original character.

By the time the film was released in August 2021, fans would come to fall in love with Bloodshot. Gunn clearly did, too, as he admitted to writing the role specifically for Idris Elba as an actor.

But many were left wondering how close Deadshot truly was to being recast, ousting Will Smith’s DCU role in the process.

Now, thanks to newly surfaced concept art, the idea seems to have been heavily considered.
