Jai Courtney’s Captain Boomerang: A Return? The Possibilities Explored
In the ever-evolving landscape of the DC Universe, fans are constantly on the lookout for familiar faces and beloved characters. One such character, Captain Boomerang, portrayed by Jai Courtney, has been a topic of discussion recently. From his debut in 2016's Suicide Squad to his brief appearance in The Suicide Squad in 2021, Courtney’s rendition of the Aussie antihero was met with considerable fan appreciation. Despite his character's demise in the latter film, the idea of Captain Boomerang's return remains a tantalizing possibility.
Jai Courtney, who has been candid about his experiences with the character, recently addressed the potential for his return while promoting his new movie, Catching Dust . Courtney shared his thoughts during an interview with ComicBook.com, stating that while he would be open to revisiting the role, he finds it hard to envision a scenario where this would happen. “At this point, no,” Courtney said when asked about the likelihood of Captain Boomerang making a comeback. “I’ve always kind of been candid about that. Boomerang was so much fun to play. I would love to see him come back in some capacity. It’s impossible to imagine, right now, that that’s on the DC hit list. But who knows?”

Courtney’s sentiment reflects a mix of hope and realism. Although the actor harbors a desire to explore an origin story for Captain Boomerang, he acknowledges the character's niche status within the DC canon. “I mean, I’ve always had a dream of finding a way to do an origin story with him,” Courtney elaborated. “I know he’s not like the most beloved character from that canon, but he was so much fun to play and I just think doing something in that space with such irreverence, and just that jovial sort of sensibility would just be a hoot.”
The landscape of DC Studios is shifting with James Gunn's new direction, which includes a variety of projects like Creature Commandos , Peacemaker Season 2 , and the Amanda Waller series. These new initiatives are set to expand the DC Universe and introduce fresh characters while possibly integrating some familiar faces. However, considering Captain Boomerang’s demise, the chances of Courtney’s return appear slim.
The potential for Captain Boomerang to reappear could lie in a prequel or perhaps as a variant from an alternate reality, a common trope in superhero narratives. Nevertheless, the current narrative direction seems to favor new stories and characters, making a return for the character less likely.
Despite this, Jai Courtney remains open to the idea. “So listen, I’m open to it if the opportunity ever came and the phone rang and they wanted me to resurrect that part,” he stated, leaving a glimmer of hope for fans who still cherish his portrayal of Captain Boomerang.
As DC Studios continues to build its universe under James Gunn’s creative leadership, only time will tell if we’ll see Jai Courtney’s Captain Boomerang once more. For now, the possibility remains a speculative but intriguing topic among fans and analysts alike.
