When The Hollywood Reporter announced the news Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn film will be in fact Gotham City Sirens with David Ayer coming back to the DCU to direct.

The trade also revealed Warner Bros are not only developing Sirens and Suicide Squad 2 (despite the reaction and whatever you think, this films was always going to happen after making more than $745 million worldwide) they’re also thinking about making a Deadshot spin-off.

Now, is this film needed or are people actually asking for this? Honestly, no.

However, when you cast an A-list actor like Will Smith you’re going to use him. I think the character works better in a team-up like Suicide Squad or as a cameo in The Batman (both will still happen), but not a solo spin-off.

I liked Smith in Suicide Squad and I think a lot of people liked his performance, even though he was basically playing Will Smith in a superhero film.

On the other hand, this spin-off could work if Warner Bros looks at Deadpool as an example, give Deadshot a low budget and add marketing it should be maximum $70 million dollars like Deadpool. The story should be about a man being hired to take out a major Gotham City mob boss like the Falcone crime family.

You can even call it Deadshot: Man For Hire or something a lot better.

It could be a cool action film and thought Ayer would’ve been better suited to this than Sirens or bring in John Wick: Chapter 2 director Chad Stahelski to helm the project and if the John Wick sequel is a success bring the screenwriter Derek Kolstad on board.

Basically just make this rumoured Deadshot spin-off the John Wick of superhero films.
