Scott Eastwood Will Be Nightwing/Arsenal/Steve Trevor/Deathstroke
When Scott Eastwood was cast in an unnamed role in Suicide Squad, the rumor mill went nuts. Who could he be playing? From Dick Grayson, to Arsenal, to Steve Trevor, to Deathstroke, every name under the sun was thrown around. Given that Eastwood is a hot name in Hollywood and the filmmakers were keeping their cards close to the chest about his mysterious role, it had to be a big one, right?
Well, he ended up portraying GQ Edwards, a character that no one’s heard of and turned out to be nothing more than Rick Flag’s bitch. Thanks for that, David Ayer. After all the drama around Eastwood’s secret role, we were left equally disappointed and bewildered.
It saddens us to say that this was a missed opportunity by the DCEU. Imagine if Eastwood had been revealed to be an undercover Dick Grayson, spying on Task Force X for Batman? It would’ve been a perfect plot twist, don’t you think?
