Jai Courtney's a good pick for Deadshot, although I prefer either Norman Reedus or Logan Marshall Green for Deadshot.

Is Captain Boomerang going to be in this movie too?

Apparently, they're looking at Will Smith as Captain Boomerang. Not only does Will Smith seem a bit too big of a movie star to be in an ensemble film, but with all those Australian action starts out there (the aforementioned Jai Courtney, the Hemsworths, Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Sam Worthington, etc), they're getting Will Smith to play an Australian villain?

That has to go up there as one of the most STUPIDEST casting decisions ever, along with the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr Freeze and Nick Cage as Ghost Rider.

Here's another Aussie that they can go with:

My random guess would be that Smith is playing Black Manta (who will just be renamed to "Manta" for PC reasons) and he will also be the antagonist of the upcoming Aquaman film in 2018. There is no rumour or anything supporting this, it is just my hope as that Boomerang thing would be ridiculous.

Will Smith isn't much of a "super hero" kind of actor. And he's too big a name and most likely expensive.

Well, he did Hancock. I just don't think he'd play a villain. I don't think he's ever played a villain before. (Does Muhammad Ali count?)

And I think it's hilarious that Black Manta is black. The superhero naming back then was ludicrous. Black Manta, Black Lightning, Black Panther, black. Black Adam, not black.

Yes, please.

Technically Hancock was more of a parody on superheroes and Will Smith played it well

I'm not sure what a "break" is. If they ever release more than just the first two seasons (four series) in Region 1, I'll work on the page.
