The cast and crew of "Suicide Squad" are back on set to do some reshoots, but it is not for the reason going around online, according to Jai Courtney, who plays Captain Boomerang in the film.

The actor said that while reshoots are indeed ongoing, they were necessitated not to give "Suicide Squad" a lighter tone but to add more action sequences to the DC Comics film.

"I wouldn't say we're going back to make it funnier. There's some additional action stuff that we've been doing, which is pretty dope. Yeah, really, we're just kind of adding in that sense," Courtney told ET.

"You can't believe everything you read," the actor said, when the interviewer said that reports and news online claim otherwise, especially that the "Suicide Squad" trailer earned a positive reaction from fans for its hilarity.

"Suicide Squad" is the next film in the DC Extended Universe. After contrasting feedback towards "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" for its dark nature, the news about the reason behind the reshoots made more sense to many.

According to fans, the lighter tone of Marvel movies is what keeps the MCU franchise different and more popular than those of DC Comics. Fans suggest that humor might just be the missing link to replicate the former's success.

However, as what a source told The Hollywood Reporter, "We're not going to take a movie that's supposed to be one thing and turn it into a copycat of something else." This was said in the midst of the rumors that Warner Bros. Pictures will make some adjustments in their approach.

On the other hand, "Heroic Insider" hosts Umberto Gonzalez and Daniel Alter recently hinted that Ben Affleck's Batman will have more screen time in "Suicide Squad" as opposed to a cameo appearance.

"Suicide Squad" will be released on Aug. 5, 2016.
