Okay, I know some are gonna hate this idea, but I want to pitch it anyway. How about Michael Bay directing a Deadshot R-rated solo film starring Will Smith. I feel like with the right script it could be huge.

With the right script it can probably work, yes. Michael Bay needs a big break from big budget films. Assuming Deadshot will it would've been a low budget film.

I'm going to say no to this, I like Deadshot as a character but I don't know if he can really hold his own for a solo movie without any other DC characters to play off of with. Not to say it can't be done but I don't see it being a very high priority in WB's case. As for Michael Bay directing...I just can't see that happening. Bay has been offered many, many comic and superhero-like movies in his career and he's said no to all them even if they guaranteed big money like Superman. Transformers and TMNT are the only exceptions, as they are kind of superhero-ish, but in the case of Transformers it took a lot of convincing by Steven Spielberg to get him to sign on and in TMNT's case Paramount/Viacom obtained the rights and wanted Platinum Dunes to reboot the property in exchange for a new contract if am not mistaken. Bay has also said in the past that he rather 'not play in another's sandbox' and be the one who establishes the world from the very start.

I'd agree that Deadshot doesn't need his own movie unless they got Gareth Evans to shoot a ten million dollar movie with Deathstroke as the villain;hell, wrong Gareth. As for Bay, I don't think he cares about superhero movies anyway.

I wouldn't mind Guy Ritchie either, and I could imagine Will Smith probably would make the offer if a movie actually got greenlit given how successful Aladdin has been.

See this is my biggest problem with the DCEU and its fanboys: WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD ANYONE WANT A GUY (MICHAEL BAY) TO REPLACE ANOTHER GUY (ZACH SNYDER) WHERE THE LATTER IS THE LEAST OFFENSIVE AND AWFUL OF THE TWO???
As bad as Snyderverse DCEU was, Bay's take on DC would have been much much worse. I'm already worried about mediocre Jar Jar Abrams f-ing the DCEU up.
Snyder, Abrams and Bay are all awful, but Bay is the absolutely worst of the bunch. The already struggling DCEU doesn't need a Bay to permanently sink it for good.

Ok so James Gunn has said that the rumor about Will Smith reprising his role as Deadshot for Suicide Squad 3 is false.
