THE SUICIDE SQUAD: Michael Rooker in Talks to Play King Shark

3365

Per THE WRAP, Michael Rooker is in talks to play the DC Comics villain King Shark in director James Gunn’s THE SUICIDE SQUAD.

Warner Bros. has yet to confirm.

Debuting in 1994, the King Shark is a humanoid shark and the son of Chondrakha, the God of all Sharks and has been a member of the Secret Six, the Secret Society of Super-Villains, and the Suicide Squad, of course.

It’ll be interesting to see how they portray King Shark in THE SUICIDE SQUAD.  Will he be a full-on shark/human hybrid, or is the name of “King Shark” not that literal of a moniker.

The relaunch, reboot, re-whatever THE SUICIDE SQUAD hits theaters on August 6, 2020. – Bill “Jett” Ramey

Bill "Jett" Ramey
Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
