Suicide Squad: Ike Barinholtz & Scott Eastwood Part 1027

We still really have no idea who these two actors are playing in Suicide Squad

Boy we love our internet rumors an speculation. Remember when everyone was pretty much convinced Jena Malone was actually somebody important like Barbara Gordon in Batman v Superman? Well, in case you haven’t heard she’s nobody in that movie. But we built it up like she was. So that’s something to keep in mind with two cast members of the Suicide Squad movie whose roles we still have no idea even though there’s been so much coverage of the film. That’s Ike Barinholtz and Scott Eastwood. All we know for sure is that they are in Suicide Squad. That’s literally it.

And thanks to that, rumors have been flying for what seems like nearly a year at this point. Is one of them Nightwing? Is one of them Deathstroke? Are they just random guys who will be in the movie for 5 seconds and not given another thought? This latest rumor about the roles they actually play might lend credence to that last one.

According to a German web site, Scott Eastwood will be playing a character named Lieutenant “GQ” Edwards, an original character not from the world of DC comics, and Ike Barinholtz will be playing Captain Griggs, a U.S. Air Force officer who has worked with Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor in the comics, so he could conceivably pop up in the Wonder Woman movie if this turns out to be true.

Well, anybody excited about this news? Yeah I didn’t think so. Also, if Suicide Squad actually has a character named “GQ” in it, my hype for this movie has gone down considerably. Luckily, foreign websites are just about as unreliable as it gets, so I doubt this is true. I’d be willing to bet Eastwood & Barinholtz will be characters unimportant to the story though. We’ll find out for sure when Suicide Squad opens in a few weeks on August 5th.
