‘Suicide Squad’ Director David Ayer Reveals Early Look At Will Smith’s Deadshot Helmet

Will Smith Deadshot Suicide Squad Independence Day

Suicide Squad director David Ayer has revealed an early look at the helmet for Will Smith’s Deadshot in the film.

Earlier today, David Ayer took to Twitter to give fans a look at the very first 3D print of Deadshot’s helmet, designed for Will Smith to wear in the film. Will Smith made his debut in the DCEU as Floyd Lawton aka Deadshot which was also the DC villains first-ever appearance on the silver screen.

The first Suicide Squad followed a team of supervillains who were recruited by the government for a dangerous black ops mission in exchange for reduced sentences. The ensemble cast included Will Smith as Deadshot, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and Jared Leto as The Joker. Warrior director Gavin O’Connor was previously set to write and direct Suicide Squad 2 with Jared Leto, Margot Robbie, and Will Smith having been confirmed to return for the sequel. Plot details on the previous script were under wraps, however, the story was once rumored to center on the supervillain team’s mission to find a terrifying new Weapon of Mass Destruction that happened to be Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam.

But with James Gunn now set to write and direct The Suicide Squad, Gunn will reportedly bring a whole new take on the supervillain team-up, leaving it in question as to whether or not the film could feature Jared Leto, Margot Robbie, and Will Smith, despite Jai Courtney reprising his role as Captain Boomerang, Viola Davis returning as Amanda Waller, and Joel Kinnaman playing Rick Flag again. The cast also features Idris Elba playing a new character, with David Dastmalchian starring as Polka-Dot Man, Daniela Melchior as Ratcatcher, and John Cena reportedly in talks for an undisclosed role.
