Following the news that Will Smith had dropped out Suicide Squad 2, Variety reports that Idris Elba (Luther, The Office) has joined the film to play Smith’s character, Deadshot. As reported previously, Smith had to exit Suicide Squad 2 due in part to scheduling issues. However, he was never officially confirmed for the film in the first place.

According to Variety, Suicide Squad studio Warner Bros. “moved fast” to find a “proven A-lister” to replace Smith, and Elba eventually got the call. It’s not clear what other actors might have been considered.

No official casting announcements at all about Suicide Squad 2 have come down yet, so there is no word on who else might come back–or not–for the follow-up. However, Variety reports that Margot Robbie is expected to return to play Harley Quinn again. Jared Leto played The Joker in the 2016 Suicide Squad, but his involvement in the new film remains unclear.

According to Variety writer Justin Kroll, Warner Bros. also considered replacing Deadshot in Suicide Squad 2 instead of recasting him.

While many of the specifics are unclear at this point, Warner Bros. has given Suicide Squad a release date: August 6, 2021. Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn is reportedly writing and directing the movie, following David Ayer who directed the first one.

The 2016 Suicide Squad received mixed reviews, but it was a massive commercial success. It made more than $746 million worldwide, and it won an Oscar for Makeup and Hairstyling.

Take a Look at Apex Legends’ Newest Balance Update Patch Notes

Part of Apex Legends’ latest update is live.

Ronin Island Brings Historical Fantasy to Feudal Japan

Ronin Island is a comic that blends a historical Asian setting with larger-than-life fantasy. The Avatar: the Last Airbender comparisons are pretty much inevitable at that point. There’s plenty of promise in this unusual take on a Feudal Japanese setting, but also some early bumps in the road. This first issue doesn’t do quite enough to establish the characters before turning to the big hook.

Ronin Island takes place in an alternate historical setting where much of mainland Japan, China and Korea have been devastated in a mysterious disaster. The titular island is a place where refugees from all three nations have come together to establish a new society – one that both honors the traditions of the past while building a better, more egalitarian world.

Anthem ‘Defender’ Bug Causes Level 1 Guns to Be Better Than Higher Level Weapons, BioWare Working on a Fix

An Anthem bug was recently discovered by players which causes basic guns to do more damage than higher level weapons. Developer BioWare has said it is working on a fix for the problem.

The bug was originally discovered by Reddit user YeetLordSupreme who completed tests to find that their default Defender Rifle was more successful at taking out enemies than their level 45 masterwork Ralner’s Blaze rifle.

The redditor reported that, despite higher damage numbers showing up for the higher level weapon, fewer bullets were required to take out the same target when using the basic gun.
