Suicide Squad 2: 7 Characters Dave Bautista Could Play

2. King Shark

Killer Shark has actually been rumoured to be appearing in this sequel a lot longer than Bautista himself has and it's not really difficult to see the appeal. He's weird, incredibly dangerous and the kind of villain that Amanda Waller absolutely would only send on the most high-risk, no-loss missions.

His characterisation would definitely fit what Bautista did best with Drax - humanising an alien monster and adding a surprising depth of heart and humour to the character. A King Shark who'd stereotypically lumber about the place biting heads and flexing his muscles is one thing, but one who is introduced as a charming guy with a brain (which he has been in the comics) would be far better. And the former WWE star already knows exactly how to do that.
