When it was confirmed that few would return such as Margot Robbie, Viola Davis, and Joel Kinnaman it was reported that Will Smith would not be returning in the sequel and that Idris Elba had been cast in what was to be Smiths role. Initially it was believed that Elba would taking up the role of Deadshot but that was soon revealed to not be the case and the role was a mystery.
