THE FLASH Will Enlist 'Diggle' To Take On The Returning 'King Shark'

Actor David Ramsey teased a potential return to The Flash last night, and now we know exactly why Diggle (and Mrs. Diggle) will be travelling to Central City: to help Barry Allen take down King Shark when he escapes from A.R.G.U.S. and goes on the rampage. More past the jump...

When carnivorous DC baddie King Shark swam in for a quick cameo on The Flash a while back, fans were very impressed by the effects used to bring him to life, and wondered if and when the character would return. Now, thanks to an interview with showrunner Andrew Kreisberg, we know that he definitely will be back, though we're not sure exactly when.

David Ramsey teased a Diggle appearance on The Flash with an Instantram pic yesterday, and Kreisberg provides some context for the Arrow crossover. "The Diggles arrive in Central City to help Barry take on King Shark who has escaped from ARGUS and is hellbent on completing his mission of destroying The Flash," the showrunner explained to ComicBook.com. Producers joked about how expensive King Shark was to utilize for even his brief cameo last time, so it'll be very interesting to see how much screen time he's afforded when he sinks his teeth into the superheroes in an upcoming season 2 episode.

The Flash returns on January 19 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.

So we can assume Thea is the one that is going to die since EBR is filming future episodes as well as Diggle.

In all seriousness, Marvel is killing it with these light hearted humorous CW shows.

Well there is a reason why Image Comics and its characters are not well known......and yes DC and Marvel copy from each other and from other companies on their characters. It is just the nature of the business.

Happy to hear they are bringing back King Shark... I felt like he was so underused earlier in the season.

They need to start making him more like his namesake.

What years did they both debut? Earlier than street sharks??

DC still beat Savage Dragon's sharkman by decades.

So I assume this is going to be Earth 1 King Shark and could therefore look somewhat different (a.k.a. cheaper)?

Hopefully EARTH-1 King Shark (real name Shay Lamden) from the show's tie-in comic "The Flash: Season Zero".



Last chance to make those comics canon, Berlanti!

Why the hell does ARGUS have King Shark?
And who is in the grave? I think it is Ollie's son or Sarah (the mom). They have been trying to hard to lead us astray and think that it could be Thea or Felicity.

I don't think there is an Earth-2 King Shark. I think Zoom literally broke this (Earth-1) Shark out of ARGUS custody in the first place.
