Still here? Well, according to the site, Suicide Squad star Will Smith is apparently keen on reprising the role of Floyd Lawton – a.k.a. Deadshot – for Warner Bros.’ still-not-officially-announced Batman solo movie.
The rumour claims that Smith is keen for future outings in the DC Extended Universe, and should he join Ben Affleck’s Dark Knight in the film, it would be for a “major role” in a The Good, the Bad and the Ugly-type scenario.

Although a solo Batman movie is absent from Warner’s official DC slate, there’s been a lot of talk that it’s on the cards with Affleck directing. And considering Batman is the crown jewel of Warner’s DC catalogue, it would be a huge surprise if it didn’t happen in the next few years.
