Fleeting glimpses of director David Ayer’s “Suicide Squad” have begun to leak out of the film’s Toronto set with new photos offering the first look at Will Smith as a Floyd Lawton, aka Deadshot.
Deadshot is often a hired assassin, regularly boasting to “never miss”. He is capable of using a large variety of weapons, but is most frequently portrayed as using a pair of silenced, wrist-mounted guns. He initially appears in Gotham City as a new crimefighter, but is revealed to be an enemy of Batman when he attempts to replace the Dark Knight. He is sent to jail when Batman and Commissioner Gordon publicly expose his plot to become the king of Gotham’s underworld.After serving his term, Deadshot begins hiring his services out as an assassin, changing his costume from the top coat and tails he previously wore to a red jumpsuit and distinctive metal face plate with a targeting device on the right side.
