Ranking: The Biggest Protagonists From 2016's Summer Blockbusters
9. Deadshot (Will Smith) - Suicide Squad
The Role: The crackshot assassin who becomes the de facto leader of the titular outfit, but of course, he also has a daughter he wants to prove himself to.
There's certainly an argument to be made that there was too much Will Smith in Suicide Squad at the expense of other roles, but he at least gave one of the strongest performances in the entire movie, melding his signature charisma with the never-miss bada**ery of his comic book counterpart.
Sure, the sentimental backstory with Deadshot's daughter is really only fitfully effective at best, but Smith proves himself a natural fit for the superhero genre, and it's just a shame that, like basically everyone else, he gets lost in the shuffle in the movie's dopey third act.
