Deadshot Costume? Sportsmaster In SUICIDE SQUAD? Nope.

Yesterday, a photo of a costumed fellow popped up from the Suicide Squad set and people began speculating about who he might be. Deadshot? Deathstroke? Sportsmaster? A.R.G.U.S.? Checkmate? The answer is enclosed.

Set photos from David Ayer's upcoming Suicide Squad project have surfaced in the last couple of days, giving us a look at Will Smith's Floyd Lawton, a wintry scene, and one other surprise character from the comics.

One photo, featuring a man with a metallic mask and body armor of sorts, made waves. Fans have speculated that the character may have been a (crummy) Deadshot, despite Will Smith clearly being on the same set at the same time. Others thought this may be Deathstroke or the more obscure Sportsmaster. The costume was both mocked and defended on the interwebs. One Toronto resident has cleared up this mystery.

Hilarious that people think this is some big new #SuicideSquad character. We watched him get sent away by security. pic.twitter.com/uMXHiFmbKL

Cont: In reality he was just some weirdo fanboy in a home made costume hoping to get close to set and the cast lololol.

Hahaha that guy should earn a spot in the movie for that!

Kr08 - 5/1/2015, 7:29 AM

If you go on IGN, those idiots actually wrote articles about this being the Deadshot costume lmao

TheRationalNerd - 5/1/2015, 7:32 AM

Sad thing about it is that big popular entertainment websites are actually looking at the smaller ones to not only mindlessly post what they post but stir up even more controversy. Glad this cleared things up. Either way, the "weirdo fanboy" has made his mark! Salute to him for not limiting his desires.

grif - 5/1/2015, 7:33 AM

How the [frick] did Jamie Foxx make it into TASM 2 over that guy?

CherryBomb - 5/1/2015, 7:42 AM

This is why I wish people wouldn't take set pictures.
OBVIOUSLY things will look different on screen and in post production.

Or stuff like this happens which leads people to wrongly jump to conclusions.

CommanderShepard - 5/1/2015, 7:43 AM

"WTF how did DeathLoc get on set?? Somebody call Marvel"

Wait, people actually thought that was Deadshot? The guy wearing the costume is clearly way shorter than Will Smith.

Brainiac13 - 5/1/2015, 7:57 AM

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey I found his mask......on Amazon.

TheDarkPassenger - 5/1/2015, 7:57 AM

It was probably Michael Rowe trying to get his way into the movie.

HAILHYDRA - 5/1/2015, 7:58 AM

DC fanboys lol. All this anticipation has you guys wondering on to set like a fool and following some dude's social media so you can keep track of the status of his hair.

CapedBaldy - 5/1/2015, 8:00 AM
