The Suicide Squad Cast Reveal - Predicting EVERY Character

23. Jai Courtney - Captain Boomerang

Captain Boomerang Suicide Squad React
Warner Bros.

Jai Courtney is one of only few actors from David Ayer's Suicide Squad to return for James Gunn's sequel/reboot, and also one of only few who emerged from that film with their head held high.

Courtney's turn as Flash rogue Captain Boomerang was brilliantly entertaining even if he had countless little to do. Hopefully the sequel can change that, and give the character plenty of time in the spotlight to compete alongside the Squad's newest recruits.

WhatCulture's former COO, veteran writer and editor.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
