In an interview with Collider, Courtney explained his character of Boomerang in James Gunn’s upcoming The Suicide Squad sequel/reboot is still the “same sh*tbag liability,” as from the first film, who has to deal with a bunch of obscure new characters ripped straight from the comics.
The upcoming The Suicide Squad will have only a tenuous connection with Ayer’s film, and many of the characters from that movie will be missing in Gunn’s film, most prominently Will Smith as Deadshot.
While Jai Courtney expressed sadness over not having the OG gang back together again, he explained that The Suicide Squad is not meant to be a “strict sequel”.
One such character was Captain Boomerang, a notorious Flash villain played with wild-eyed relish by Australian actor Jai Courtney.
