2021’s The Suicide Squad didn’t waste time showing just how dangerous the missions the DC supervillains part of Task Force X go on can be. Namely, almost all of Amanda Waller’s “first” team was killed on that beach in Corto Maltese at the beginning of the movie, including Jai Courtney’s Captain Boomerang, who’d previously appeared in 2016’s Suicide Squad. As if that wasn’t bad enough, The Suicide Squad writer and director James Gunn revealed that Courtney learned about his character being killed off pretty jarringly.
