10 Things You Need To Know About Deadshot Before You See Suicide Squad

Despite being arguably the biggest star in the movie (apologies to Jared Leto, Viola Davis and Margot Robbie), Will Smith hasn’t featured all that prominently in the trailers for Suicide Squad. This is probably due to the fact that more overtly screen-grabbing characters like the Joker and Harley Quinn naturally produce more ‘trailer moments.' However, it does mean that audiences are probably going to go into the film not knowing a whole lot about Smith's character.

As you would expect for a team comprised of supervillains, rivalries abound in the Suicide Squad. But none is stronger than that between Deadshot and Captain Boomerang.

Apart from both being naturals with their very different choice of weapons, Lawton and Digger Harkness are completely different in terms of personality. As we now know, Deadshot is the serious type and likes to get the job done with maximum efficiency. Boomerang, on the other hand, likes to kid around and thoroughly enjoys being a villain. While Deadshot is a bad guy because of past trauma, Harkness is a bad guy because, well, he’s a bad guy.

Presumably this will be at least alluded to in Suicide Squad, as Jai Courtney’s comedic take on the character does seem to be very different to Smith’s more sombre Deadshot.
