Suicide Squad: 28 WTF Moments

25. Scott Eastwood Is Pointless

Suicide Squad WTF
Warner Bros.

Remember those heady days when everyone thought - assumed, actually - that Scott Eastwood was going to be playing someone really interesting like Dick Grayson undercover, or Deathstroke or... like, anyone, really?

Well, balls to your expectations, because Scott Eastwood plays Background Military Extra #1, otherwise known as GQ Edwards, and given the prime role of standing just behind Rick Flag looking more interesting than him.

He does have a key role in the defeat of Incubus - well, he needlessly holds the bomb - but other than that he's just sort of there, as if David Ayer just wanted a job for his mate and couldn't really think of anything he could do. And then he's made to have the heroic sacrifice that Rick Flag should have made.
