Will Smith withdraws from Suicide Squad 2 due to scheduling conflicts

According to foreign media reports, Will Smith will no longer appear in "Suicide Squad 2" due to his schedule. This is undoubtedly a major loss for the sequel. However, Smith has never really confirmed that he will return to "Suicide Squad 2". But according to foreign media reports, the producers of "Suicide Squad 2" actually hope that Will Smith and Margot Robbie, who plays Harley Quinn, can return to the sequel.

Will Smith played Deadshot in "Suicide Squad" and was also very popular. Deadshot was originally a super villain in DC Comics. His real name was Floyd Lawton, Jr. He was a mercenary and professional killer, known as "the deadliest shooter in the world" and "the most accurate shooter on earth." After being arrested by Batman, he was forced to join the Suicide Squad and also showed his love for his daughter in the movie.

The character was originally a white man in the comics, but became an African American in the movie. Now that Will Smith has quit, I wonder if Warner Bros. will find another African American actor to take over.

The 2016 film "Suicide Squad" was a huge success upon its release, earning $747 million worldwide and winning the Oscar for Best Makeup and Hairstyling, becoming one of the few superhero films favored by the Oscars.

"Suicide Squad 2" will have a major personnel change. The director and screenwriter team will be replaced by James Gunn, who directed the "Guardians of the Galaxy" series, instead of David Ayer. The film will start shooting this fall and will be released on August 6, 2021.
