Jai Courtney Hasn't Heard Anything About A SUICIDE SQUAD Sequel, But He's "Not Done With" Boomerang
Suicide Squad may not have impressed the majority of critics, but it still did very well at the box office so a sequel is inevitable... right? In a new interview, Jai Courtney shares his thoughts...
Before Suicide Squad was even released we were told a sequel was already on the agenda, but the negative critical reaction led many to speculate that Warner Bros. may rethink things. Of course, that was before the movie defied all expectations and took in over $700 million worldwide.
So, can we assume a follow-up is still in the cards?
During an interview with We Got This Covered, Captain Boomerang star Jai Courtney was asked if he'd heard anything about it, and although the Aussie actor admits that he hasn't yet, he also says he's far from done with the ruthless, but somewhat endearing villain.
“Listen, they keep their cards very close to their chest. I actually have no idea, I pray the answer is yes. I certainly don’t feel like I’m done with that character. I had a lot of fun playing him, and I don’t feel like anyone is done with that franchise, certainly not yet. So, I hope so, sooner or later. The studio is very busy at the moment, director David Ayer is directing something else at the moment, but I’m sure they have plans, just none that they’ve shared with me.”
It's safe to say Suicide Squad isn't very popular 'round these parts - but if Courtney and the rest of the cast did return for a sequel, do you think there's potential to deliver?
