Sylvester Stallone is King Shark

[samsnee]

This was unexpected

 

[Sawyer]

Not completely. I think most of us knew it would be either him or Taika. Now I just wonder who Taika is playing.

 

[Enriquespy]

Still a better comedic role than Stop or Mama Shoots.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I understand they want to play with the more "funny" part of the character....but I wish he were more menacing.

 

[Gee]

Still a better comedic role than Stop or Mama Shoots.

I completly forgot about that movie. I loved it as a kid!

 

[Sawyer]

That’s... awful.

 

[Primal Slayer]

That’s... awful.

Everything can be improved upon!

 

[Sawyer]

I have no complaints. I wanted thicc shark and James Gunn gave me thicc shark.

I understand they want to play with the more "funny" part of the character....but I wish he were more menacing.

No.

Just...

No.

 

[Albright]

the cgi for him looks like 2000 - like mr hyde in league of extraordinary gentlemen

 

[psylockolussus]

Looks a bit cartoony imo.

 

[Brian Braddock]

This:



And this:



Isn't menacing - it's downright scary!

 

[emielaen]

The cartoony look of him with the gory brutality seems very intentional lol

[TheVileOne]

I love King Shark. He's a sweet boi! I think he's going to be my favorite character in the film.

 

[Sawyer]

King Shark cameo in Aquaman 2 pls.

 

[P Supreme]

I wanted a scene of Stallone doing an emotional speech ala first blood and for him while in speech eat someone lol hard to do when the character was basically mute I was highly disappointed with that aspect thats my problem I expected the HQ show version lol

 

[Prison Mike]

I think I like the King Shark version from the CW’s The Flash more than this one.

 

[Drizzle]

King Shark cameo in Aquaman 2 pls.

Sure, why not? After all, he's no sillier of a concept than King Gimli and his crab people.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

King Shark cameo in Aquaman 2 pls.

Exactly what I would love to see, even an interaction would be great.

 

[metaphysician]

You know, a possible gag could be that Aquaman and King Shark actually interact and get along far better than you'd expect. . . because Aquaman can actually *talk* to him fully. Sure, KS is obviously not the most brilliant bulb on the beach, but he also is working with the handicap of only limited language fluency.

 

[Captain Tired]

Aside from simply the money, I'm struggling to understand why Stallone took this on. I mean he was good, don't get me wrong... but literally anyone could have done this. It just seems like such a waste of a great and legendary screen personality to voice what's basically a monosyllabic shark.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Like Vin Diesel with Groot, it’s just a funny James Gunn thing to do to cast a star that’s been mocked for the deep mumble way they talk to voice just a few words for a character.

 

[samsnee]

It’s ironic that Stallone is a franchise called Expendables and that’s basically what the Suicide Squad is.
