Exciting news popping up from the rumor vine. It appears as if former Spartacus star, Jai Courtney, is in talks with Warner Bros. to play Deadshot. Many have believed that this role would be given to Will Smith, but it seems the folks behind the film are more interested in courting Courtney.
If this is indeed the truth, then Jai Courtney could be on the verge of landing the role of a lifetime. It could also open the door for other opportunities within the DC Cinematic Universe, or even a standalone film if fans fall in love with Deadshot.
We have never seen Deadshot on the big screen before, so dropping the character in the Suicide Squad film is definitely a great move if the rumors hold true. For those who are unaware, Deadshot's only live action appearance is on the Arrow, and we must admit, we were not that impressed. Then again, we're not impressed with many things done on the Arrow.
