The Suicide Squad is James Gunn’s upcoming sequel to David Ayer’s 2016 Suicide Squad film. Based on the footage we’ve seen from DC Fandome, we can tell it is going to be a big event film. Some actors are returning from the 2016 DC film. Such as Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flagg. And Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang.
In a recent interview, Courtney talked about coming back and what fans can expect:
“It’s a big-ass movie again, as was the first. It’s cool to see a bunch of new characters and characters [Gunn has] plucked from the depths of the canon, which is cool and just kind of different and interesting. James like creatures and monsters and things as well. I felt like there was an injection of that kind of stuff with this take on it. It’s very funny.
It’s what you’ve come to expect from this kind of film. People are going to have a great time with it. it’s sad to see some of my castmates not involved, but I’m so thrilled to welcome a whole bunch more in. And I think it frees up the direction in which this franchise can take. It cracked things open in a way that we now won’t know what to expect from the next time. That’s cool for something like Suicide Squad. It’s not necessarily even a strict sequel, is the truth. It’s different, man, but people are gonna’ have a ball with it. I hope it’s massively successful.”
Courtney also commented on if we will see a change in his change. For example, Kinnaman had previously described that he was able to play a more loosened up version of his character than he did in 2016’s version. Courtney commented:
“I think it would’ve been a shame to run away from that side of Boomerang…[Joel Kinnaman] got to have a bit more fun with Flagg this time around. He’s delivery on stuff shifts up a bit and it’s fun to see him doing that and certainly fresh for him. Boomerang’s the same shitbag liability we came to learn about in the first one. He’s out there causing trouble as you would expect.”
