The "angle" as such for promotion seems to be a bunch of cast members are "leaking" the trailer and James Gunn in words shaking his fist in the air about it.
Sort of fun in that context.
EDIT: Also, film still looks fun. Looking forward to it.

Liked this trailer a lot more than the last one but the humor really isn't doing it for me.
Also, Bloodsport is such a stand in for Deadshot at this point that I don't get why they just didn't recast Will Smith.

And, like, if the character is there for you to use (and Gunn used a lot of obscure characters), you might as well go with it rather than...well, that highly problematic idea.

In what universe has Will Smith ever been problematic? He’s the corniest cornball there is, even when he’s trying to be serious.

I mean more just re-casting a black guy with a black guy when characters like Bloodsport are there to try out and see. Couldn’t really see the optics of that being great, but I could be wrong.

You'd have to be the most hypersensitive and solemn motherf***er on Earth to be outraged over something like that. I wouldn't see the harm.

I more put it like this; for this new version of Suicide Squad, you bring back Jai Courtney, Joel Kinnaman, Jai Courtney from the other film that "failed"...but just decided to recast Will Smith only. Like, I'm not saying it'd be a massive deal at all but, like I said, it'd be kind of weird optics. I didn't say it'd be a big deal. It's the same way how for the Powerpuff Girls reboot, they brought back all the male VO actors from the original show...but none of the female ones. A big deal? No, but damn weird optics.

I had to be restrained from walking out of the original Suicide Squad by my now wife, but I must admit that this one looks way better in the quick glimpses we've seen.

Think he wanted Bloodsport for this scene alone lol. Also think Gunn wanted to hit the obscure character part of the movie as well with him. Bloodsport isn't exactly an A lister and it seems Gunn really wanted to dig into the barrel of characters with this. twitter.com/JamesGunn/status/1407393293495717892?s=20

It'd be weird optics if Smith hadn't been offered the chance to return and declined, but as he did decline to return I doubt recasting would raise many issues. As it is, this version of Bloodsport seems to basically be Deadshot in all but name only.

Really giving me “Mystery Men” vibes. Good thing? Bad thing? I’m definitely going to wait to hear proper feedback.

I don't think it looks very good but with being on HBO Max f*** it, I'll watch it.

Incidentally, here is the scene in the comics where Bloodsport takes out Superman with a kryptonite bullet
