Deadshot Costume? Sportsmaster In SUICIDE SQUAD? Nope.
Yesterday, a photo of a costumed fellow popped up from the Suicide Squad set and people began speculating about who he might be. Deadshot? Deathstroke? Sportsmaster? A.R.G.U.S.? Checkmate? The answer is enclosed.
Set photos from David Ayer's upcoming Suicide Squad project have surfaced in the last couple of days, giving us a look at Will Smith's Floyd Lawton, a wintry scene, and one other surprise character from the comics.
One photo, featuring a man with a metallic mask and body armor of sorts, made waves. Fans have speculated that the character may have been a (crummy) Deadshot, despite Will Smith clearly being on the same set at the same time. Others thought this may be Deathstroke or the more obscure Sportsmaster. The costume was both mocked and defended on the interwebs. One Toronto resident has cleared up this mystery.
"In reality he was just some weirdo fanboy..." Carry on, internet. Never change.
