The Suicide Squad Trailer Breakdown: 23 Things You Must See

Oh, King Shark...

Nanaue has long been a favourite of comic book fans, with this toothy villain often found battling The Flash in the pages of DC Comics. Not just that, but King Shark's popularity also took a massive shot in the arm thanks to the rogue's appearances in The CW's Scarlet Speedster show.

As soon as King Shark was announced as being a part of The Suicide Squad, some were already thinking how this character could be the real star of the movie. And with this first trailer, that point has only been further hammered home.

King Shark. In a movie. EATING people.

Added to that, it's today been revealed that none other than Sylvester Stallone is the person playing King Shark here.
