SUICIDE SQUAD: First Look At Will Smith As 'Deadshot' Definitely Won't Be What You're Expecting
Filming is now underway in Toronto for David Ayer's Suicide Squad, and Will Smith is the first to be spotted on set. While his Deadshot look definitely won't be what you're expecting, it does in some ways pay homage to the source material. Hit the jump to check it out!
Will Smith has been snapped on the set of Suicide Squad, and the costume he's wearing has already created quite a stir on social media. It's worth noting though that Deadshot appears to have both eyes here, so this could be a flashback to a time before he was a killer. The presence of a young girl seems to indicate that anyway, and it looks like they're shopping together. Either way, the Gotham City police car confirms where these scenes are set, so that too raises some interesting questions about the movie. For example, could it be that this will be an origin story for the character?
Regardless, this look for Deadshot isn't too much of a departure from Batman mythos as it's clearly influenced by animated movie, Batman: Gotham Knight. Of course, we don't know if he's wearing this outfit for a single scene, will don a variation of it later in the movie, or might have something altogether different as part of the "skwad".
