Will Smith Talks About Playing Deadshot In Suicide Squad

At a press conference for his new film Focus, Will Smith was asked what is the differences between his roles in Hancock, Focus and Suicide Squad. The question intrigued Smith, who admitted that he hadn't thought about comparing those characters before. "I guess I like the concept of dubious morals," Smith replied.

He then went on to briefly talk about his roles in Hancock and Focus and finished his thoughts with Deadshot. "With Suicide Squad, we just started on that," Smith said. "I think I haven't explored the psychology enough of Deadshot, somebody who could take money to kill people; how he justifies that for himself. So, I still have a little bit of work to do on that, but in my life in general and in my career, those are the type of roles that I'm pushing more towards; those kinds of questions."
