It’s Shark Week, andThe Suicide Squadis capitalizing on that with a brand new bite-sized teaser trailer for King Shark.
In the trailer, we see King Shark’s endearing“hand” momentthat captured the hearts of fans in the first trailer, but we also get a glimpse at new footage from the upcoming film. King Shark (aka Nanaue) is given a full introduction as Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) debriefs the rest of the Suicide Squad about the dangerous descendant of an ancient shark god. She also warns, “He’s developed a taste for human meat.”
His hunger is the central focus of the trailer as Ratcatcher II (Daniela Melchior) asks the important question, “Would you eat your friends?” One has to wonder if “fish are friends, not food” applies here… especially when an earlier clip shows King Shark contemplating making a snack out of one of the other members of the Suicide Squad. Nom, nom!

Sylvester Stallonemay provide the voice of King Shark, but comedianSteve Ageeis the man behindthe character’s iconic motion-capture movements. He balances a fine line of creating a menacing 7-foot tall violent shark, while also being an adorable and cuddle-worthy shark. The trailer underlines the same sentiment that was shared by King Shark’s co-starDavid Dastmalchianin a recentroundtable interview, “Funny, yes. But also horrifying. He’s so dangerous." Looks like a cinnamon roll, but could actually kill you.
