User Info: w0 0t w0 0t 8 years ago 1 Any idea why it doesn't happen? While it could have been assumed Gunn's version of the film no longer needed Smith's Deadshot because it was going in a different direction, the reason the actor didn't reprise his role is a bit simpler than that. As it turns out, Smith couldn't return due to scheduling conflicts.

With The Suicide Squad filming in , Smith wasn't available during that time to reprise his role because he was too busy elsewhere. Suicide Squad 2 was announced to be in development before the first film was released. David Ayer and Will Smith were attached to return, with filming planned to begin in once they were done with Bright.

However, in February , Smith left the Suicide Squad sequel due to scheduling conflicts, and Idris Elba was brought in to replace him.

Gunn and Warner Bros. The Suicide Squad producer Peter Safran told press members on the film set that Smith absolutely could have been back for the film and in a leadership role same as before, but it was not meant to be. Here's what he said regarding Smith's absence as Deadshot via ComicBook.

But I think the Will [Smith] of it all was really more of a schedule thing than anything else. Safran said per ComicBook. So it was really important that we started shooting when we started shooting. Even though most fans of The Suicide Squad would have loved to see Will return as Deadshot, his story arc in Suicide Squad ends in a pretty satisfying way. Deadshot joins Task Force X, also known as the Suicide Squad, in order to have 10 years shaved off his prison sentence.

He wants to get out and get home to his daughter. He's permitted to visit with her and, it seems, he's almost reformed. Probably not completely, though, since the original plan had clearly been for Deadshot to return for The Suicide Squad , were it not for Will's filming issues.

With his redemption arc firmly in place, Deadshot could have been a voice of reason among the other antiheroes in The Suicide Squad. But his happy ending works too.
