Idris Elba seems to be increasingly dropping hints that he wants to suit up again as his The Suicide Squad anti-hero Bloodsport. While walking the red carpet for his new movie, Beast, Elba made it clear that he wants to come back and tell the backstory of how his character put Superman in the ICU. Granted, the answer is “Bloodsport shot him with a Kryptonite battle,” but Elba is eager to bring the classic comic book moment to life.
“I would definitely like to tell the Superman story. There’s no doubt,” Elba told Variety. “Bloodsport versus Superman. It needs to happen.”
Before anyone chalks this up as wishful thinking, Elba also recently told reporter Erik Davis that he’s got a “got a really big thing cooking for DC right now.”
