Jai Courtney on Making an Acting Comeback in Cannes Serial Killer-Shark Thriller and if He Would Return to DC Universe: ‘I Have Hope’
Jai Courtney returns after a four-year break in IFC Films’ “Dangerous Animals,” a wild mashup of two of the most bankable subgenres.
Following his second stint as Captain Boomerang in James Gunn’s “The Suicide Squad” in 2021, the Aussie heartthrob ditched Los Angeles for upstate New York, became a father for the first time and took a break from wide-release films. After landing his breakout role opposite Tom Cruise in 2012’s “Jack Reacher,” Courtney became the Next Big Thing from Down Under, joining a list that has included Mel Gibson, Russell Crowe and the late Heath Ledger. The same could be said for the mindset of Tucker, the seafaring serial killer he portrays in “Dangerous Animals,” or the gonzo criminal Boomerang, which he first tackled in David Ayer’s “Suicide Squad” in 2016.
