King Shark Was Considered for SUICIDE SQUAD, Says David Ayer
David Ayer and the cast of Suicide Squad held a Q&A session on Twitter today. During Ayer’s turn, the writer-director was asked if there was a character he had considered for the film, but ultimately dropped. Turns out he considered a pretty big addition. Ayer reveals that King Shark was considered for the Suicide Squad team. However, he explains that bringing the character to life would have required plenty of CG work, and he didn’t feel comfortable with creating a fully CG character. Thus, Killer Croc was added instead. .@diablosantanas #askthesquad pic.twitter.com/pORnCzYpjH — David Ayer (@DavidAyerMovies) July 29, 2016 King Shark is a frequent member of the Suicide Squad in…

But that’s finally about to change with Suicide Squad next week. Comic Book has confirmed that Suicide Squad will have an extra scene in the middle of the credits. The scene is described as “pivotal and important.” No further details…
