Actor Jai Courtney has confirmed that he will be reprising his role of Captain Boomerang in the upcoming Suicide Squad sequel.

The much-awaited project will be directed by filmmaker James Gunn, who is best known for helming “Guardians of the Galaxy” series.

“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,” Courtney told Business Insider.

The film, being touted as a complete reboot of the 2016 film, also features Margot Robbie reprising her role as Harley Quinn.

Will Smith, who played Deadshot in the David Ayer-directed film, has dropped out and future of Jared Leto’s The Joker is still in doubt.
