Worked on together Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, director James Gunn and action legend Sylvester Stallone reunite this year for the R-rated DC supervillain team The suicide squad while Sly sinks his teeth into the anthropomorphic Great White, King Shark.

Based on the promotional material, King Shark has already established himself as a standout and a big fan favorite, and in a conversation with Den of Geek, Gunn discussed why he wanted to include the character and revealed that he had written the role especially for Stallone.

“Who wouldn’t want a fish to eat a lot of people that people somehow think are inexplicably cute?” Gunn said. “I knew I wanted to use an animal, and I knew King Shark was a member of the Squad in the newer comics. I liked the concept of that character. So King Shark [was my first addition]. “

“Oddly, I’ve become more able to get any actor I want for roles in movies, I started taking risks and writing for actors I don’t know,” says Gunn. So I wrote Bloodsport for Idris Elba, I’ve never met him, but I’m a huge fan of his work elsewhere. And I knew Sly, and I know him pretty well. So I wrote the role of King Shark with his voice in mind. “

Welcome to Hell – aka Belle Reve, the highest death rate prison in the US of A. Where the worst supervillains are held and where they do everything they can to get out – even join the super-secret, super-shady task Force X. Today’s do-or-die task? Collect a collection of cons including Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, Ratcatcher 2, Savant, King Shark, Blackguard, Javelin and everyone’s favorite psycho, Harley Quinn. Then arm them heavily and (literally) drop them on the remote enemy-drenched island of Corto Maltese. Trekking through a jungle full of militant opponents and guerrilla troops at every turn, the squad is on a search-and-destruction mission with only Colonel Rick Flag on the ground to get them carried … and Amanda Waller’s government engineers to their ears, who their every move. And as always, one wrong move and they are dead (either by their opponents, a teammate or Waller himself). When someone makes bets, the smart money is against them – all of them.

The suicide squad sees James Gunn directing a cast with Suicide Squad returns Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn), Jai Courtney (Captain Boomerang), Joel Kinnaman (Rick Flag) and Viola Davis (Amanda Waller) as well as new DCEU additions Idris Elba, Peter Capaldi, Alice Braga, Nathan Fillion, Taika Waititi, Jennifer Holland , David Dastmalchian, Joaquín Cosío, Mayling Ng, Flula Borg, Juan Diego Botto, Storm Reid, John Cena, Pete Davidson, Tinashe Kajese, Daniela Melchior, Julio Ruiz, Steve Agee, Michael Rooker, Sean Gunn and Sylvester Stallone.
