Is It True That The Suicide Squad's Bloodsport Shot Henry Cavill's Superman? What James Gunn Has to Say

Is It True That The Suicide Squad's Bloodsport Shot Henry Cavill's Superman? What James Gunn Has to Say

The Suicide Squad comprises some of the most obnoxious characters from the DC Extended Universe. The majority of Task Force X's members have a variety of lethal skills, but they also have some personal baggage. Take Bloodsport, played by Idris Elba, who is imprisoned for placing Superman in the ICU. It's a great performance, but it's still unclear whether Henry Cavill's Man of Steel was injured in the process. With this, writer-director James Gunn has added some of his own views.

Bloodsport and Superman have a long history, dating back to the 1980s DC Superman comics, when the latter was used to assassinate the hero. While Bloodsport was unable to murder Superman, he got close with the use of a Kryptonite needle. He'll have used a bullet in The Suicide Squad, and when asked if Henry Cavill's version of Supes was on the receiving end of it, James Gunn responded diplomatically: “Bloodsport is in prison for putting Superman into the ICU with a kryptonite bullet. Yes, The Suicide Squad is a part of the DCEU, but I don't know which Superman it was because I don't cast the next Superman. So it could be Henry [Cavill]; it could be somebody else. It's whoever people decide on other than me.”
