Idris Elba had his time in the DC Extended Universe as Bloodsport in last year's The Suicide Squad. But, if you ask him, he's still up for more. Not only that, but Elba apparently wants to take a page out of the comic books and bring Bloodsport's comic book storyline to the big screens - him going up against Superman.
Technically, The Suicide Squad touched up on Bloodsport's previous scuffle with the Man of Steel. Just as Amanda Waller, who was masterfully played by Viola Davis, was rounding up the members of Task Force X, she mentioned that Robert DuBois is an assassin who almost killed Superman using a kryptonite bullet. Unfortunately, Bloodsport failed, which led to his arrest and incarceration in Belle Reve.
Here's what Elba recently said to Variety in an interview while promoting "Beast": I would definitely like to tell the Superman story. There's no doubt. Bloodsport versus Superman. It needs to happen. A Bloodsport prequel detailing the events of the failed Superman assassination could do well under the right direction.
