A variation of the unidentified incarnation of the Thinker appears in the DC Extended Universe film The Suicide Squad, portrayed by Peter Capaldi. This version is a sociopathic, Scottish metahuman geneticist named Gaius Grieves who is employed by Corto Maltese's dictatorship and the U.S. government to study and experiment on Starro in a Nazi-era base called Jötunheim for 30 years via Corto Maltese's citizens. After an anti-American dictatorship takes over the Corto Maltesean government, Grieves sides with them to save himself until he is captured by the Suicide Squad, who force him to work with them to destroy Jötunheim and Starro until he is killed by the alien in retaliation for all that he did to it.
