When E! News caught up with Scott Eastwood yesterday at the Maui Film Festival, the actor had talked a bit about the highly-anticipated Suicide Squad. Although he didn't address his mystery role in the DC Comics adaptation, Eastwood did discuss doing his own stunts, director David Ayer's vision, as well as Jared Leto's portrayal of the Joker. "David Ayer is doing something the world will be really surprised about," said Eastwood of his director. "We're a lot of our own stunts... really physical, and David is a very physical filmmaker. He wants everyone doing their own stuff, and he doesn't hire guys who are not willing to do that." About sustaining some bumps and bruises from doing his stunts, Scott Eastwood said, "I think active guys are always living with injuries. You're always dealing with an injury. That's part of it. It's like sports. There's always something."

Scott Eastwood was then asked what was it like to meet Jared Leto as the Joker for the time. "I think I was sort of afraid to approach him because I didn't want to mess with his thing going on," he said of his Oscar-winning Suicide Squad co-star. "But I knew him before. I met him before he was The Joker. I just met him as Jared Leto. So I didn't know if I wanted to mess up his thing."

Anyhow, Scott Eastwood has been heavily rumored to portray Steve Trevor in Suicide Squad before appearing in the Wonder Woman movie. However, given that Chris Pine has since entered talks for that role, Eastwood's character in the DC Cinematic Universe is still very much a mystery. The actor has been spotted filming Suicide Squad in military garb on several occasions. What do you think?




Directed by David Ayer from his script, Suicide Squad stars Will Smith (Deadshot), Joel Kinnaman (Rick Flag), Jared Leto (the Joker), Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn), Jai Courtney (Boomerang),
Viola Davis (Amanda Waller), Cara Delevingne (Enchantress), Jessie Eisenberg (Lex Luthor), and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Killer Croc), with Raymond Olubawale (King Shark), Jay Hernandez, Ike Barinholtz, Jim Parrack, Adam Beach, and Scott Eastwood. The film releases on August 5, 2016!

I kind of wish he was playing Bruce Wayne/Batman, he seems perfect for the role.

I could see him being Nathaniel Adam. It was rumored before that Amanda would have plans for Project Cadmus, so having him become Captain Atom to fight Superman would be cool. I'm not sure if WB is still going in the Project Cadmus direction or not, but if so it'd be cool to see.

He'd be a great Dick Grayson.

I'd be very surprised if he wasn't playing Agent Grayson, although I have no idea.

Who knows?

He has to be Dick. The roster is starting to run a little thin of people he could be. And why have people been saying that Dick is dead? Jason Todd is the one who dies. Even though I assume he is Dick - I hightly doubt we will be seeing him in the suit.

Pine is still a rumor. I'd rather have him a GL.

This guy would make a great young Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke. Plus I recall the rumor that they wanted to go much younger with Deathstroke

Doing their own stunts? Not surprised. Ayer had the cast attend boot camp and live in tents and shit. Impressive.
FrozenDiamondz

@SuperCat

It came from Variety doe

They said WB gave him a choice. Either beat out guys like Pine for Steve Trevor or take the guaranteed role in SS. He chose the latter
DavidGray
DavidGray - 6/4/2015, 9:19 PM
So he didn't wanna mess up his thing...

I'm not sure what am I supposed to make of that

My money is on Deathstroke, he'd make a good green arrow.

Dick has faked his death in the comics so its very possible that this is what they are doing.

Jared Leto's a big method actor so maybe Scott didn't want to disturb his process?
