David Dastmalchian\u00a0<\/strong>had no idea who Polka-Dot Man was when he was cast in\u00a0The Suicide Squad<\/strong><\/em>. Even as a longtime comic book fan, as well as comic book writer himself, Dastmalchian was stumped. Director James Gunn<\/strong> told him it didn\u2019t matter. The not-so-super villain was created by writer Bill Finger<\/strong> and artist Sheldon Moldoff<\/strong>, but Dastmalchian was led by Gunn\u2019s vision for the character.<\/p>\n

Abner Krill is a mystery to most moviegoers, and to the other characters in the film. Until the truth comes out. We recently spoke with Dastmalchian about the key scene in The Suicide Squad<\/em> that reveals his tragic past, and what went into filming it.<\/p>\n

This post contains spoilers<\/strong> for <\/em>The Suicide Squad.<\/em><\/p>\n

Polka-Dot Man first app<\/a>eared in Detective Comics<\/em> #300 as a crook aspiring to face-off with Batman and Robin. But the version of Abner Krill seen in\u00a0The Suicide Squad<\/em>\u00a0didn\u2019t choose to become Polka-Dot Man. His mother, a scientist, performed cruel experiments on him to unlock superpowers. He was abused. It\u2019s a trauma both Gunn and Dastmalchian take seriously, even in a movie featuring a lonely talking shark ripping people apart.<\/p>\n

During a memorable scene, Abner reveals his past to his new friends, and they listen and see him beyond the costume. For the scene, Gunn gave Dastmalchian very specific direction, which ended up paying off. The actor recalled:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a hard day for me as an actor and James at one point came to me, put his arm around my shoulder, and just gave me some really simple, but the specific physical direction of gestures that he kind of wanted me to try with my foot and my hip. I did it. We\u2019re standing there in the middle of the jungle, which is on the stages of Pinewood in these insane sets. I did this thing, I kind of dug my toe in the sand the way he wanted me to. I kind of looked at the ground and all of a sudden I felt like a 12-year-old standing there facing all the bullies and gym class again. I was like, \u2018Oh my God. It helps to be in the hands of a genius.’\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Dastmalchian went as far as to make a Polka-Dot Man book, writing stories about the character\u2019s past prior to shooting. He has given the character a great deal of thought, and has found a great deal of empathy for him:<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that having this really unique power and ability, if he hadn\u2019t maybe been so insecure, so broken, so lost emotionally and psychologically, perhaps life and the path would have just been so different. I think that no matter how powerful someone is, no matter how much power someone wields, someone can literally be walking around with the power to detonate every nuclear bomb on the planet, if that person is riddled with insecurity and pain, and there\u2019s a broken child living within them, then all that power is useless. And in fact, it can actually turn to bad. People will have to watch the movie to see if Abner\u2019s power gets turned to good or bad.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Suicide Squad<\/em> is in theaters and on HBO Max now.<\/p>\n
