BREAKING NEWS!!!
IDRIS ELBA ISN’T DEADSHOT:
Though the next installment in the “Suicide Squad” franchise is moving full-steam ahead with the addition of Idris Elba to the team, the movie will now move forward without one of its main characters.
Though it was previously reported that Elba would be replacing Will Smith as Deadshot in the new pic, sources now tell Variety that all parties including director James Gunn have decided to move on from the Deadshot character, with Elba playing a new character in “The Suicide Squad.”
CHANCES OF BEING TRUE: High. Variety is a reputable source with a proven history with things like this. WB has declined to comment so far, so this isn’t official until we get an official word.
