King Shark Suicide Squad David Ayer

David Ayer's much anticipated SUICIDE SQUAD finally arrives next Friday and brings with it a swell line-up of villains including Deadshot (Will Smith), Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Killer Croc (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), Joker (Jared Leto), Boomerang (Jai Courtney), and several others, but for a while Ayer was contemplating adding another monstrous character to the squad. David Ayer responded to fan questions on Twitter earlier today and was asked which characters didn't end up making the cut.

Given the choice between a completely CGI King Shark and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje covered in some stellar prosthetics, I feel confidant that Ayer made the correct choice. Plus, if SUICIDE SQUAD winds up being as successful as the box-office projections seem to indicate it will, there's a good chance that the SUICIDE SQUAD sequel will have a little more money to play around with and King Shark could make an appearance.

Would you like to see King Shark turn up in the SUICIDE SQUAD sequel?
