Fans think Margot Robbie is the reason why Will Smith opted out of 'Suicide Squad' sequel
Recently, fans took to their Twitter handles to speak about Margot Robbie's relationship with Will Smith & they blamed her for Will's exit from Suicide Squad
It was recently reported that Margot Robbie is all set to reprise her character from the much-acclaimed film, Suicide Squad. Besides Margot Robbie, many actors from the prequel film like Viola Davis, Joel Kinnaman, and Jai Courtney will be a part of the second installment of the series. However, it was recently revealed that actor Will Smith has opted out of the film, which has led to several fan-made conspiracy theories about the actor's relationship with Margot Robbie.
Besides Will's decision of opting out of the movie suddenly, what added fuel to the fire was Jada Pinkett Smith's recent revelation about her affair with August Alsina. In a recent interview, Jada Pinkett Smith took a jibe in jest at Will about her relationship with him. Take a look at how fans blamed Margot for Will's exit:
I think Will Smith probably didn’t come back as Deadshot for the Suicide Squad sequel because he got into an... entanglement with Margot back in 2014-2015 and she’s married now. The scheduling conflicts excuse always felt off to me, lol.
