Talking with ComicBook.com at Warner Bros’ Big Picture event in Vegas, Will Smith dropped a few details as to the role Deadshot will play in Suicide Squad and what attracted him to the project and director David Ayer, as well as the most exciting part of the movie for him.
“David Ayer, he’s created this big, gigantic world – this Batman world. But he was also only focused on the characters. So, to do the level of character work that he was willing to do with understanding an assassin and then how that assassin interacts with the Joker and Harley Quinn… It was great… It wasn’t just fun in terms of the little boy elements of running around, jumping, and shooting. It was fun to treat Deadshot like a real person.”
Smith also teased a few details as to what to expect from the movie’s big climax.
“The ending of the movie is a really unique way to have everybody collide… I’d never been in a scene like this with as many different elements as take place in the final sequence. It’s very cool.”
Suicide Squad hits theaters August 5th.
