Boomerang, though?
Exactly one week after announcing Margot Robbie would be getting her own Harley Quinn film, it looks like Warner Bros. is looking to continue expanding its DC Universe. With Suicide Squad only a few months away from invading the box offices worldwide, the anti-hero is set to see a few spin-offs.
Depending on the imminent success both Warner and DC Entertainment are expecting this summer, Jared Leto’s Joker and Jai Courtney’s Captain Boomerang are also likely to get their own solo films. We’re curious why Boomerang would need his own story, given the low level of intrigue most of us have, but The Joker is definitely something the masses would gravitate towards.
“They’re going to do a sequel for sure, and the recently announced spinoff with Margot Robbie has got everyone excited, too, but their plans don’t end there. The studio is feeling very confident in the property. They think it’s going to be a really big hit and they think audiences are going to fall in love with these characters.
I’ve heard more than a few talks of giving some of the other Task Force X members their own spinoffs, and like the Harley Quinn one, these films would open the door for a ton of new DC characters to show up.
The Joker is a definite possibility for a spinoff, and Jared [Leto] seems up for it from what I’ve been told. They’re also really hot on Jai Courtney’s character Boomerang right now. Nothing’s set in stone yet, but you’re definitely going to be seeing a lot more of these guys in the years to come.”
