Will Smith Explains Why He Chose Suicide Squad Over Independence Day

[Shadow]

He made the right choice.

1. Potential for a spin off Deadshot film
2. He's in the DC universe now so there's potential for him to show up in a future Batman film
3. Potential for a Secret Six film(another group in the DC universe with Deadshot in it)
4. Another Suicide Squad film in the future since the first one did well at the box office.

In March 2016, it was announced that Warner Bros. would bring Ayer and Smith back for a sequel, to be shot in 2017.The following month, Ayer expressed an interest in making the sequel R-rated.Fukuhara has stated that she wants to explore Katana's backstory in the sequel,and Courtney has stated about reprising his role as well.

Suicide Squad (film) - Wikipedia

Being in the DC or Marvel universe is always a good thing. You know there's money in cameo appearances, toys, video games, etc.

^^^^ Pretty much all of that. Will made himself apart of a franchise that he doesn't have to carry and will still guarantee a solid payday between merchandising and future films.

WB >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> FOX. It's that simple

He made the right choice. Independence Day 2 was the shyttiest movie i have paid to see since the Last Avator. It was shockingly bad.

Will Smith was in deadpool?

I think I have been mixing up Deadpool and Deadshot every time I write about one of those dudes.

i wouldnt say SS was garbage but i will say it was overrated

It was shyt on by all the critics...how was it overrated?

Without reading

...because he wanted to hit some more Margot Robbie booty in his trailer all summer long.

I believe this is exactly what it is and i cant blame him she bad as hell.

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

We all know he made the best decision even though both films were bad.

working with ayer on suicide squad also led to them connecting for 'Bright'. Netflix dropped 90 million on it

I liked SS and thought the hate for it was overblown.
But it was definitely not overrated in any sense of the word.
