In a new interview with Screen Rant, while promoting his film Catching Dust, Courtney opened up about his big death in The Suicide Squad. The Australian star revealed the conversation he and Gunn had, while looking at the possibility of returning for the new DC Universe, sharing the following:

I don't have talks with James. [Playing a new character is] a nice idea, but no, we're cool. We haven't caught up for some time. But, yeah, look, man, I would love to see that character get on screen again, and if I'm the guy to play it, then that'd be even better. I remember having a conversation with him before we shot that installment, and kind of feeling like it was such a bummer that he was killing him off, because I felt like it derailed any chance of any lateral movement within that world. And he was the one that was like, "You know that's not true. Anything could happen, these things jump time, they go back and forth, and things."
It sort of, actually, helped me chill out a little, because there was obviously an emotional attachment to that part, and I still feel like there's unfinished business. So, who knows? If things continue to accelerate for me, and there's a time where the right people want to get involved, and we can create something more with that character, then I would obviously love to. It was so much fun to play him, and take him into a space that wasn't necessarily bound to what we came to know, or if people did get to know him from the comics, it sort of was a role that jumped all over the place and had different iterations over the years. So, I don't see why there's any reason we can't continue to have that conversation. It's just about the right people wanting to do it at the right time, and yeah, I certainly wouldn't be closed off to it.

Catching Dust is now playing.
