Not to mention, boring characters no one ever heard of or cared about. I mean the same be said about Guardians of the Galaxy, but they had a talking raccoon, a talking tree, green Bautista and a hot green woman. I'm sure if the Guardians were just.... 4 or 5 normal looking joes, no one would care.
On a similar note, the first Suicide Squad had Harley Quinn, Will Smith, Harley Quinn, Killer Croc and Harley Quinn. The second Suicide Squad had John Cena and a talking shark guy, and Harley was there too. Not sayin either were big successes (though I heard people really liked the second one) but the characters were weird enough to make people go see it out of curiosity.
I can see this one might have gotten more attention if say... Jackie Chan was in the movie somewhere, maybe as the dude's mentor or something. I'm sure people would have been curious enough to see what he'd do in this movie.
