Scott Eastwood On Why He Didn't Return For The Suicide Squad
The Suicide Squad is a favorite amongst fans, critics, and viewers alike. The spiritual successor «sequel» film has redeemed the backlash from the previous one. However, the original film was not released as director David Ayer envisioned, and this is partially why Scott Eastwood didn't return for the sequel.
Scott Eastwood played Lt. Edwards in Ayer's Suicide Squad film and didn't have too many prominent scenes in comparison to the A-listers on the film. Worse yet for fans of the character, Eastwood was completely absent from James Gunn's The Suicide Squad.

Scott Eastwood was approached to do a sequel film, but his issue became with the backend part of the deal. After speaking with his father, actor and director Clint Eastwood, the younger Eastwood knew exactly what to do. «They didn't want to pay me any money for those next movies and… they didn't have another script for the other movie, so I didn't know what I was going to be signing myself up for,» the actor told Insider. «I said, 'They don't want to pay me,'» recalling the conversation he had with his famous father. «He said, 'If it feels like they really need you and if it's a good part, then do it. If not, then don't.'»
Scott Eastwood's Edwards was shown in Suicide Squad, but apparently he was featured much more in director Ayer's original cut for Suicide Squad. This is one of the many reasons why fans are calling for the release of Ayer's true Suicide Squad film. However, Warner Bros. has given no indication that they plan to release an alternate version of Suicide Squad, even after the alleged success of Zack Snyder's Justice League.
