Will Smith established himself as a superstar long before the route to becoming one went through the gates of Marvel, DC, or any other big-name superhero studio. He has been on a roll since the 90s emerging as a superhero for the people, irrespective of the genre of the project that he took on. And as time-shifted and the audience started looking upon superhero movies as their favorite, Will Smith played an essentially underrated character, Deadshot, and made him a cult favorite.

However, the mountain of success and respect he had built through hard work appeared to be breaking following his Oscar 2022 controversy. And fans thought now would be the perfect time for Will Smith to take the route that went through Superhero land in order to rise back to his untouchable stardom. While fans had ranging views, an AI perfectly matched Will Smith to a Marvel character.

Which Marvel character should Will Smith play?

In 2016, Smith took on Deadshot’s role as Suicide Squad. And while we will stray away from indulging in any Deadshot puns, he quite literally Deadshot this role and his comeback to the franchise remains among the most anticipated. While Deadshot has been shot out of the way, an AI has found the perfect home for Will Smith in Marvel. If Avengers was released in the 90s, then according to the AI creator, Will Smith would be perfect as the Black Panther.

With how things have unfolded for the character, the thought of Will Smith reprising the role will not be spared without a few tomatoes. However, there is no denying that if Avengers was made in the 90s, there would not have been a more perfect choice than Will Smith, who was the reigning king of not just the action genre but also Hollywood, to take on the majestic role of Black Panther.

Can DC’s Deadshot be Marvel’s Tony Stark?

One of the most celebrated characters in Marvel is Tony Stark. However, as Marvel heads into a new phase and brings to us more characters and a multiverse, one Tony Stark cannot be enough. After all, there needs to be a multiverse of madness. And who better than Will Smith with a pocket full of experience in characters that are just another shade of Tony Stark to call upon?

This is a far call given how Tom Cruise has reportedly been avoiding Will Smith since the Oscar incident and Marvel is notorious for its ‘clean’ image.
