"Suicide Squad" made huge waves in the comic book movie world by casting Will Smith as the antihero Deadshot, a DC Comics villain with incredible accuracy when using any firearm. Ever since Smith was cast, DC Comics fans have wanted to know what the world-famous movie star would look like as a genuine villain (a comic book supervillain, no less).
Well, we finally got a glimpse of what Smith will look like as Deadshot in the upcoming film. The Daily Mail was able to track down two new photos of Smith sporting a very different look from how he usually appears. The former "Independence Day" star was seen in the passenger seat of a car, sporting a scraggly-looking beard and a cleanly shaved head. Clearly, Smith's going for a rougher, hard-eged look than he does in most of his films (Smith tends to come off as a clean-cut movie star most of the time.)
As well, Jim Parrack, who'll be playing the villain Deathstroke in the film, has also been teasing his costume choices in the film. Deathstroke is known for one piece of his outfit in particular- a two-toned mask that's grey on one side, orange on the other, and extremely intimidating. According to IGN, he posted a photo on Instagram of Deathstroke's classic mask, and then a futuristic mask from Daft Punk. Could Deathstroke have a massively updated look to reflect that Daft Punk photo? It's certainly a possibility.
Ike Barinholtz, who was also cast in an unknown role, spoke about the film's tone- comparing it to the classic Western "The Dirty Dozen."
"People are very passionate about comics - specifically this one," Barinholtz revealed to the Chicago Tribune. "It appeals to people's dark side a little more. It has a 'Dirty Dozen' feel. I think that's the direction we're going in."
"Suicide Squad" will premiere on August 5, 2016.
