Late yesterday, word broke that Idris Elba would be taking over the role of Deadshot in the upcoming sequel to Suicide Squad. With Will Smith stepping down due to scheduling conflicts, Warner Bros. was quick to find a replacement for the actor. This is where Elba steps in and takes over. 

James Gunn has recently boarded the project as writer and director and looks to be giving the second film a clean slate. While the original was a massive financial success at the box office, it was a critical failure that definitely lacked a quality story. If anyone can fix it, it's Gunn. 

Just today, artist Boss Logic has released his look at how Elba might look in the role. He definitely looks the part although it will be strange switching it up in part two.
