Talking to Yahoo Movies UK, the 51-year-old confessed he was done with the franchise and is moving on from the role. "I don’t think I need to [do it again], to be honest. I did it, I enjoyed it, it bought me a Bentley and I will keep moving on," he said.

While the actor has opted out of the sequel, the filming of Suicide Squad 2 is going on in full swing.
