Will Smith out. Idris Elba in as Deadshot.
Other new recruits possibly include King Shark and...Ratcatcher? Who the hell is that?

shareBetcha Will Smith asked for too much money.
shareRumor is he and Gunn didn't get along. He was one of the highlights for me but Elba isn't bad either.
shareI agree with your last two statements completely!
The thing is, "Suicide Squad" was terrible, but it made quite a lot of money. So of course, Smith is going to demand a raise. But the studio has no faith that DC sequels made in the "Suicide Squad" mode will make money after the poor returns of "Justice League", so they're not going to give the sequel the kind of budget that Will Smith thinks appropriate. So, he's replaced, with someone who's always good, and who works cheaper.
