Fun Shark Week Promo Spot for THE SUICIDE SQUAD Focuses on King Shark!
I’ve got a great new promo spot to share with you today for The Suicide Squad that was released in celebration of Shark Week. The spot is loaded with new footage, and all of that footage focuses on King Shark!
The human-eating land shark is being voiced by Sylvester Stallone, and when talking about bringing this character to life for the film, director James Gunn said, “Rocket was hard because it’s difficult taking an animal and turning it into a humanoid shape, but it’s five times more difficult to do that with a shark – it was a very, very painstaking process.” Gunn went on to say:
“From a character standpoint he’s very different from [Rocket and Groot], because at the end of the day, with the Guardians, we know they’re good. That isn’t true of the Suicide Squad. King Shark is a fish and he eats human beings. He doesn’t have such a mammalian love for people. But he wants to belong and he wants to show that he’s smart. And he’s not.”
King Shark looks like he’s going to be an awesome and funny character and I have no doubt that he’s going to end up being a fan favorite. The Suicide Squad will arrive in theaters and on HBO Max starting on August 6, 2021. Enjoy the promo spot!
