Jai Courtney, who played Captain Boomerang in 2016’s Suicide Squad, claims he’ll be returning for James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad.
In an interview with Business Insider, Courtney said “We’re getting ready to shoot in a few months’ time. There’s not much else I can reveal about it but, yeah, you’ll be seeing Boomerang back for sure… I’m happy, it’s going to be fun. It will be different, for sure, but it’s going to be great.”
In the first film, Captain Boomerang was captured by The Flash after a diamond heist, as forced into the Suicide Squad, and had a notable love for pink unicorns.
It’s still unclear exactly which characters will return for this reboot. We know Will Smith’s Deadshot won’t be coming back (due to scheduling issues), but rumors suggest Idris Elba was in talks to replace him. Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn will reportedly be returning as well, and reports suggest Dave Bautista could be up for a new role.
In January, reports confirmed Gunn would both write and direct the new Suicide Squad film, and that it will be a “total reboot” from the David Ayer-directed original.
