Arrow’s Deadshot Talks Suicide Squad Movie!
We’ll have to wait until next year to see the Suicide Squad on the big screen but in the mean time, there has already been a pretty awesome Suicide Squad on CW’s Arrow pulling off the most dangerous missions. At one point, there was even going to be a spin-off focused on the Squad, but the movie kind of killed those plans. Mike Rowe, who plays Deadshot on Arrow, shared his thoughts on the movie and Will Smith taking on the role of Deadshot.

"I imagine that them pulling the trigger on doing the film has maybe a little bit to do with what we’re doing on TV and proving that fans are drawn to it. I really appreciate the Deadshot from comic books and the Suicide Squad stuff they were doing in the comic books. But it was kind of only for the hardcorers. It wasn’t, sort of, a known top notch DC book.I’ve grown quite attached to it, the character and the squad. So for Will Smith to takeover Deadshot, it’s gonna be fun, man, because he’s gonna take the squad, and all the A-lsit stars, are gonna make the squad into a household name and give it the respect that it’s due, so that makes me really happy. I guess if you do look at it, as we proved it on TV and it graduates into film, it does kind of take away some of the stuff that we could have done because we’re sharing the property with the film, it does limit you. So there’s good things and bad things for it. I think Will Smith is going to make a very interesting Deadshot so I can’t wait to see what he does. I do take is as a little bit of a compliment. I didn’t in the beginning, I didn’t think much, but the conversations I’ve had with people and stuff like that, we did our job on TV, we work hard. It is a compliment to say “Let’s go to the biggest level we can with it.” Definitely a pat on the back there."
