I honestly don’t know why this is ‘news’, but many MANY outlets are running this fan taken phone photo of Oscar winner Will Smith on the set of David Ayer’s Suicide Squad sporting a pretty bushy beard.

Smith will be playing DC character Floyd Lawton aka Deadshot, the expert marksman
with a cybernetic eye.  Usually listed as his most defining trait, the desire to die in a spectacular fashion is often noted as the primary motivation for Floyd joining the Squad. You can read more about the character on the official DC Comics Wiki here.

There are also these shots, showing Smith ON set in what we assume will be one of his costumes in the film:

Also, this writeup on ScreenRant about the upcoming film and how Deadshot is going to fit in is pretty awesome.  Ayer’s Suicide Squad is set to hit theaters August 5th, 2016.
