Michael Rooker Shoots Down Report That He's Joined The Cast Of James Gunn's THE SUICIDE SQUAD

Over the weekend, news broke that GOTG Vol. 2 actor Michael Rooker was in line to play King Shark in his old friend James Gunn's Suicide Squad sequel, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen...

Although the prospect of Michael Rooker bringing life to King Shark in The Suicide Squad is one fans were firmly behind, it doesn't look like it's on the cards after all.

Despite The Wrap reporting, and the trades seemingly confirming, that the Guardians of the Galaxy actor was in talks to rejoin James Gunn for his DC sequel, Rooker has since taken to Instagram to deny his involvement.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

DA...........NOT!!!

There's always a chance he was in talks and the deal fell through, of course, but based on Gunn's response to his friend's post, it seems more likely that there was never any truth to the report.

What do you guys think? Disappointed that Rooker (most likely) won't be playing King Shark in The Suicide Squad? Sound off in the comments.

Why has no one done a review of this? It was a damn good issue.

Gunn replies with "Ha ha"

Rooker replies with "This is not true news .... I'm not cast in this movie......"

I actually think he could've done it well.

Wonder who now will be King Shark. Some comparisons to The Flash's version will inevitably be made as well.

Waiting for the studio to try to push Gunn around and he walks. Then he can get on with GotG3!

I like Rooker but I don't envision a shark with a redneck accent personally.
