King Shark was introduced by James Gunn himself when he madeThe Suicide Squadin 2021. The movie was a soft reboot of the existing 2016 movie by David Ayer. The character was voiced by the legendarySylvester Stalloneand became a fan favorite in no time. The giant shark demigod possessed a unique blend of violence and cuteness.
As the character finds himself among the countable characters who make it to the end of the movie, the fans wanted eagerly to watch more of him. As per rumors, the character can have an appearance alongside the ruler of Atlantis in the upcoming James Wan movie. But looks like, the fans won’t be satisfied with a mere cameo, as their demand can’t be more baffling than it already is.

Can King Shark appear in Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom?
Even though King Shark’s appearance is largely left to speculation,Aquaman 2does have Karshon aka The Shark. The role is to be played by Indya Moore. But the fans need to remember one thing despite the title of Shark attached to both characters, they are very different. While King Shark is largely interested in chomping off everyone like a Shark. On the other hand, Karshon is a full-fledged villain in the comics who has greater plans than simply chewing humans.
