All those movies you just named were good and none of those characters were as vital to the success like Deadshot/will smith was

Just about to post this. Deadshot was easily the main character outside Harley and had so much potential
Nobody gave a fuck who Rachael was in Dark Knight lol both of them were throw aways.
 
They can still have deadshot, just introduce the same character w a diff actor, or create a new character to be deadshot... his son, if he has one..

I think folks just ended up liking Will as him, tho I didnt take the first movie serious and thought why in the fuck would they hire Will, he ended up winning me over and was hyped for the rumored Deadshot/Batman movie at the time.
 
Yeah the main issue with Smith not returning was due to schedule conflicts. WB wants Gunn to start production and have the film released by 2021 i think, maybe 2020. Hes already completed his draft of the script. Smith was just already scheduled for other projects so there is a possibility he could return in the future. This will make room for them to probably have Cap Boomerang and Harley Quinn to return since they are generally mainstays, but maybe they can be lead by Bronze Tiger this time and get King Shark in the mix with some other folks too.
 
If capt boomerang gets a bigger role i.e action scenes than I'm in because he was a joke in the last movie. They can keep his humorous personality just give him more action. In the last movie he barely threw a boomerang. If will Smith doesn't return then I hope they do. Ring in bronze tigerike Lou said. Maybe they could bring in the clock king, plastique, harpoon etc also.
 
i really just want DC to go back to the solo movie focus, and say fuck this joint universe shit.. and if they do share characters, do it like the animated movies, and keep it moving..

Only way that's gonna happen is if they all make bread like Aquaman. Even then they still might do the Justice League-esqe movies cuz they seen how much Marvel made w/ them joints.
 
yea, but with aquaman finally topping the dark knight, they should realize what it is that's exactly their bread and butter..

i know yall joke, but shazam is largely self contained, and i expect the same type of movie.....

You anticipate DC resting the weight of their movies on some "lesser" characters like Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Cyborg rather than the go-to's of Batman and Superman?

Numbers wise?

Nah, I see Shazam topping out at 550/600 mil. Aquaman had a way bigger name recognition, even if it was as a punchline to a joke.
 
Will Smith might be done with the DC Comics film franchise, but it looks like Deadshot will indeed return for the sequel to Suicide Squad with actor Idris Elbastepping into the role.

According to a new report from Variety, Elba is in talks to replace Smith for The Suicide Squad after meeting with writer and director James Gunn last week.

The report indicates that the meeting with Elba and Gunn turned out very well and talks with the studio began earnestly, making this a very quick development in replacing Deadshot for the upcoming film.

The new report indicates that Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn is supposed to reprise her role for the new film, likely picking up after the events of Birds of Prey. Other than Deadshot and Harley, the new film is supposed to feature more new characters that takes from the rotating cast of coerced super villains from the pages of DC Comics.

It looks like Warner Bros. is eager to make casting decisions quickly in hopes of beginning production soon, and the report indicates that the studio is happy with the script as Gunn has already turned in several drafts.

After Smith's departure was revealed last week, Variety reporter Justin Kroll indicated that Warner Bros. was deciding whether or not to recast the role of Deadshot and replace him with another character entirely.

"One item I forgot to add to story, sources say execs are now deciding whether they will recast the role or replace Deadshot with a different character from the DC universe to join the team in sequel," wrote Kroll.

That decision didn't take long, thanks to the meeting between Elba and Gunn, and now it appears that The Suicide Squad is back on track with its core roster in place. It remains to be seen which other characters will return, such as Viola Davis' Amanda Waller, and what other characters will join the new crew.

The Suicide Squad is currently scheduled to premiere in theaters on August 6, 2021.
