The Suicide Squad predictions: Who will live and who will die?

Suicide Squad member: Robert DuBois / Bloodsport
Idris Elba is one of the most well-known working actors today. When he was first signed onto the project, many thought he would be taking over the role of Deadshot from Will Smith. This turned out to be false and he’s actually playing Bloodsport, a Superman villain introduced into the comics in 1987. This is actually the character’s second live-action appearance, the first being on the CW’s series Supergirl.
What has Bloodsport done to be a part of this team? According to Waller, he put Superman in the ICU by shooting him with a Kryptonite bullet. Would I love to see that instead of just hearing the line? Yes. Will we see it? Very unlikely. How fun would it be to see a Henry Cavill cameo though? Let’s keep tying these franchises together in such a vague way!
As for his role in The Suicide Squad? I could see Bloodsport easily not making it out of there. Just look at the poster! Don’t get too attached. It would be such a stunning thing to kill the team captain, right? Think Ned Stark on Game of Thrones. I think he’ll be the biggest death there is as to shock fans into thinking no one will make it out.
Prediction: Dead
