We now know that Will Smith will not be returning for The Suicide Squad, which, according to Heroic Hollywood will begin filming in September of this year. It’s been reported that Smith is not reprising his role as Deadshot due to filming schedule conflicts, which makes sense considering that it has been a while since the previous film and many things were up in the air. Now we are hearing from journalist Justin Kroll that executives are deciding whether or not to recast or replace the character that Smith did so well in.
