It’s been over a year since The Suicide Squad arrived in theaters, taking fans of the DC Universe on an unexpected journey. In the eyes of some fans, the project wouldn’t have succeeded without its ragtag ensemble of characters, many of whom are absolutely lesser-known in the tapestry of DC’s comics. At the center of them was Robert DuBois / Bloodsport (Idris Elba), who was one of the film’s central protagonists — a role that surprised some, especially following rumors that he could be portraying other DC characters, including Floyd Lawton / Deadshot, taking over the role from Will Smith in 2016’s Suicide Squad. While Elba has since indicated that the rumors were to throw off speculation before the film was released, some newly-resurfaced pieces of concept art hint at how far that went. The concept art, which was shared by David Levy on Behance, actually shows Elba in one of the film’s climactic scenes in Deadshot’s costume colors.
