Who Will Scott Eastwood Play In ‘Suicide Squad’?

There has been much speculation about Scott Eastwood‘s role in the upcoming film Suicide Squad.

“He’s a very important part of the film and works directly alongside Colonel Flag in the mission,” producer Richard Suckle told ComicBook.com. “That’s kind of really the best way to describe it. David [Ayer] and Scott worked [together] before. Scott was in Fury. He was sort of a last-minute piece of casting by a bunch of different actors for these roles. His character was sort of existing, then it wasn’t going to exist in the movie, and David wanted to bring him back. It kind of went through a back and forth and Scott just kind of naturally found a place and he had had a pre-existing working relationship [with Ayer]. “

A popular fan theory is Eastwood would take on the role of Dick Grayson, but Suckle may have put the rumors to rest. “No one has guessed right,” he said. “I’ve seen some of the guesses [online] and no one has guessed right.”

Suicide Squad will hit theaters in August 5, 2016.
