Australian actor Jai Courtney (Terminator Genisys) who will appear in next year’s Suicide Squad playing the role of Captain Boomerang has shed some light on his bearded look for the film. In an interview with Hotfix the actor reveals that is was Director David Ayer’s doing. Courtney said that Ayer came into makeup for a meeting and “He just picked up the clippers and started shaving me. I’d shown up quite hairy.” Then the director told him “You look like bad news. Looks like your buddy got drunk and cut your hair. Good..."

 When asked if they just clean it up and it remains the same he replied “Just like this, it’s crooked and it stays the same. “

In the comic book Captain Boomerang is beardless, but this wouldn’t be the first time Ayer has altered  the look of the characters. What do you guys think? Share your thoughts below.

Jai Courtney is franchise poison.

I have no doubts he will be the weak link in this movie.

I get why people wouldn't like Courtney as an actor but he is actually quite a good one when given the right role and script. You're probably thinking I'm crazy, but I saw the Water Diviner, Russell Crowe's fantastic film, and Jai Courtney played an Australian Lieutenant and did a great job.
The role wasn't some American "badass" role he always ends up getting.
He didn't have to focus on having a good accent, because he played an Aussie like himself.
And his role played to his abilities. He wasn't a major character but not a minor one either. Same thing in Jack Reacher, where he was a pretty good actor in.
