The Suicide Squad Trailer Breakdown: 23 Things You Must See

11. Polka-Dot Man Bringing The Mood Down

The Suicide Squad Harley Quinn
Warner Bros.

One would think that polka-dots alone would be enough to raise spirits, but not in the case of David Dastmalchian's Abner Krill.

After Waller briefs Task Force X, the main response she gets is King Shark noticing that he's got a literal hand. Seeing the desperation of their situation, Bloodsport grimly quips how they're all going to die - to which Polka-Dot Man coldly states, "I hope so".

Dastmalchian is one of the great, truly underrated character actors of his generation, and he absolutely nails the depressing delivery of Polka-Dot Man in this snippet.
