While it has been confirmed Scott Eastwood will be featured in Suicide Squad, the son to actor Clint Eastwood’s role is currently unknown.
However, online speculation is leading to Scott Eastwood possibly playing Steve Trevor, who in the comics is the love interest to Wonder Woman.
The new DC Comics have Steve Trevor and Amanda Waller discussing the Amazons, with Trevor serving as a goverment liason to the Amazons as well. Steve Trevor has also been attached to various groups including ARGUS, Team 7 and Justice League Of America.
“I’m doing a movie up there called Suicide Squad,” Eastwood confirmed to Canada’s eTalk, as the film is shooting in Toronto. “I can’t tell you anything. It’s all under shhhh.”
“Suicide Squad” has an August 5, 2016 release date directed by David Ayer starring Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as the Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, and Viola Davis is playing Amanda Waller.
