DCEU Characters Who Disappeared Without Explanation

The reasons behind their exclusions may vary, but here's a look at some DCEU characters who all share a common thread: disappearing from a superhero mega-franchise without a trace. These are the characters who disappeared without explanation.

Will Smith's Floyd Lawton, also known as Deadshot, is introduced in Suicide Squad as a master marksman who never misses his target. He's also shown to be a devoted father to his daughter, Zoe. After being incarcerated, Deadshot is recruited as a member of the government-run Suicide Squad team. From there, he helps defeat the film's nefarious villain Enchantress, before being put back in his prison cell.

Originally, this was to be just the start of Deadshot's journey in the DCEU. Five months before Suicide Squad premiered, Variety even reported that Smith was reprising his role as Deadshot in a sequel to the movie. By the end of that year, various reports noted that a spinoff movie about Deadshot was in development. In 2018, Smith said:

"They've been talking about it. So if a good idea comes around, we've been having meetings. But I would love to. I love Deadshot."

In the years since, however, there's been little word about Deadshot having any further presence in the DCEU. Reflecting his diminished status in this franchise, Deadshot wasn't even referenced in Harley Quinn's solo movie, Birds of Prey.

However, there's still hope for the character's return. According to Variety, after initial attempts to recast the role, Deadshot was written out of the upcoming movie The Suicide Squad. But this isn't quite as bad as it sounds: According to sources, the decision was made in order to allow Smith the chance to reprise his role in the future.
