Deadshot Rumored to Appear in Ben Affleck's Solo BATMAN Film
Warner Bros. is trying hard to get their DC Extended Universe off the ground and catch up with what Marvel is doing. The first film on the road to making this happen is Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and that will be followed by Suicide Squad. Many of the actors that appear in these films signed on to appear in more than one of these DCEU movies. Will Smith is one of those actors, and according to Latino Review, Smith's Deadshot character might actually Join Ben Affleck in the Batman solo film that he is currently developing. The site explains:
If Deadshot joins the Bat in the movie, it will be for a "major role" for a "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" scenario. Nothing's locked down completely, but most of the involved parties seem enthusiastic.
That's really interesting to hear, so if this rumor turns out to be true, maybe the solo Batman film won't be very solo after all. It could be fun to see Deadshot and Batman team up for a movie adventure. Batman and Deadshot have teamed up in the comics, so it's not out of the realm of possibility.
I imagine that if Deadshot shows up we'll also see a few other characters from the DCEU show up in some capacity. Maybe all of WB's DCEU films will be like their upcoming Batman v Superman, in which they will always include other characters that they've established in their cinematic universe. That's exactly what Marvel has been doing. Look at all the Marvel characters that were packed into Captain America: Civil War.
Would you like to Batman and Deadshot team up in a movie? Or were you hoping for a real solo Batman movie?
