Best known for playing Captain Boomerang in "Suicide Squad," Jai Courtney first gained attention in 2010 portraying Varro on Starz's "Spartacus: Blood and Sand." Since then, the Aussie actor has appeared
in "Jack Reacher" and "A Good Day to Die Hard," followed by "Divergent" and its sequel, "Insurgent."
Your "Suicide Squad" co-stars Margot Robbie and Joel Kinnaman have both told Variety how funny the sequel is going to be compared with the first movie because it's written and directed by James
Gunn.
Courtney: I think it's kind of got a different flavor. There's a whole bunch of new characters. James Gunn has an approach to things that is uniquely his; he pulls a lot of that into the "Suicide Squad"
world. And I think that it fits really well, and audiences are going to have a lot of fun with it.
Tell me about your most fun day on set.
Courtney: I won't to say too much, but there's a particular sequence when I get very wet, and a few other people do, and hilarity ensued when it came to that. When you're spending hours upon hours in a
water tank with a bunch of people treading water, and you've got Styrofoam stuffed into every crevice of your costume to try and take the load off and because it's 4 a.m., it gets quite ridiculous.

When you were in that water tank, did you ever stop and look around and think, "What has my life become"? It has to feel surreal.
Courtney: I am lucky that sometimes I'm making these small-budget gritty dramas like "Stateless," and sometimes I'm out shooting big ridiculous action comedies like "Suicide Squad." To have feet on both
of those trains is a lot of fun - and it also means that I never get tired of it.
