The Suicide Squad Actor Poses With Life-Size Wooden Statue of King Shark
The Suicide Squad star Steve Agee has been pictured posing beside a life-sized wood carving of his character, King Shark. The 53-year-old actor portrayed the DC villain on set in conjunction with Sylvester Stallone, who provided the CGI character's voice. In addition to King Shark, Agee also played the secondary character of John Economos, an A.R.G.U.S. agent working under Amanda Waller (Viola Davis). Economos also features prominently in the HBO spinoff series Peacemaker.
Conceived in the 1990s by Karl Kesel and Tom Grummett, King Shark principally served as a comic book adversary of Aquaman. Enrolled into the so-called Suicide Squad in later stories, the character was one of several chosen to be depicted in James Gunn’s live-action movie alongside the likes of Harley Quinn, Peacemaker, Bloodsport, Ratcatcher 2, and Polka-Dot Man. Released in 2021, the film followed the misfits of Task Force X on a secret mission to infiltrate the dictator state Corto Maltese and destroy a giant alien lifeform known as Starro the Conqueror.

An obvious fan of the DCEU, proud_squirrel posed alongside Agee and her creation wearing a Harley Quinn-inspired shirt. Check out the post below:
