Warner Bros. The Suicide Squad<\/em><\/strong> will mark the introduction of Idris Elba’s Robert DuBois, a.k.a. Bloodsport, to the DC Extended Universe.\u00a0During a panel for the film at Brazil’s CCXP virtual event, director James Gunn and Elba provided a new glimpse at Bloodsport’s technologically advanced costume.<\/p>\n

While The Suicide Squad<\/em><\/a> will include a number of cast members from David Ayer’s preceding film, Elba’s Bloodsport will be one of several newcomers added to the titular roster as part of Gunn’s effort to offer audiences a fresh take on the supervillain team. The filmmaker had been tapped to write and direct a follow-up to\u00a0Suicide Squad<\/em> after Disney fired him<\/a> from Marvel Studio’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3<\/em> in response to the resurfacing of controversial social media posts he wrote years ago. Though Gunn was eventually reinstated as the director of the third Guardians of the Galaxy<\/em> film, his work on The Suicide Squad<\/em> will take precedent until the DC film is complete.<\/p>\n

As one of the guests included on CCXP’s The Suicide Squad<\/em> panel, Elba offered additional insight into the limits and capabilities of Bloodsport’s costume<\/a>. Accompanying Elba’s detailed description of the outfit is footage of what appears to be an animatic of Bloodsport wielding two weapons included with the suit. “He has a very cool costume, you know? His costume is, like, seriously innovative and technically advanced, and he’s the only guy that can use it,” Elba explained. “And in this film, he gets to show it off and he’s brutal.”<\/p>\n
