Peacemaker Star Steve Agee Would Kill To Play This DC Character [Exclusive]

Actor Steve Agee has gotten to do some fairly unbelievable issues as super-hacker John Economos on James Gunn’s HBO Max sequence “Peacemaker.” He is gotten to point out off his sick PowerPoint abilities, kill an indignant super-gorilla, and assist save the world from an alien invasion in a barely extra hands-on function than he did within the 2021 film “The Suicide Squad.” He’d confirmed himself to be an impressively good buddy even when it looks like he is a disaffected loner, attempting to assist the eleventh Road Youngsters in any approach he can, even when that is from inside A.R.G.U.S., the very group attempting to make a few of their lives rather more troublesome. Economos is a good function for Agee that enables him to essentially exhibit his dry wit and comedic timing honed by years of performing on tasks starting from “The Sarah Silverman Program” to “The New Woman.” And but, there’s one other DC Comics character the actor says he would “kill” to play (once more).

I had the prospect to talk with Agee by way of Zoom about all issues “Peacemaker,” and when requested if he would ever need to reprise the function of King Shark (by way of movement seize), the reply was a really enthusiastic sure. Whereas there is no telling if King Shark’s unique voice actor, Sylvester Stallone, would reprise the function, Agee is all in and there is at the least hope that we may see our favourite chompy boy in motion once more.

Agee has mentioned up to now that offering the movement seize performing on King Shark was one of many “finest and best” roles of his profession, so it is no shock that he’s desirous to don the mocap onesie and displacement swimsuit as soon as extra to assist mimic King Shark’s large body. When requested if he needs to play the fishy fan-favorite once more, Agee mentioned:

“I’d like to. I am down. It hasn’t been mentioned, at the least with me, I have never heard point out of it since we wrapped the film, however he was such a fan favourite that I can not think about him not displaying up in some unspecified time in the future. He exhibits up in ‘Creature Commandos’ very briefly, so meaning he’s nonetheless canon and on this world. So if I needed to guess, I’d say sure, however I am simply saying that as a guess. I actually have heard nothing. And I’d kill to play, even simply movement seize him once more.”

In “Creature Commandos” we briefly see King Shark/Nanaue nonetheless imprisoned by Amanda Waller, although this time he is voiced by the all the time fabulous Diedrich Bader as an alternative of Stallone. What’s nice about him being in “Creature Commandos” is that he is now canon to Gunn’s DC Universe, which paves the best way for his return. Not solely that, however Gunn has mentioned he is eager on bringing again different “The Suicide Squad” characters like Idris Elba’s Bloodsport, so Nanaue has an honest shot at getting again at it in live-action in some unspecified time in the future. 

Here is the factor about performing: numerous it’s truly reperforming, and having somebody as heat and real as Agee contained in the King Shark mocap swimsuit possible helped the opposite actors to foster these fictional connections. Not solely that, however he contributed to his mannerisms, together with having points with protecting his jean shorts on correctly. 

King Shark is each terrifying and type of a himbo, and by the tip of “The Suicide Squad” his relationship with Ratcatcher 2 (Daniela Melchior) is one in all shut friendship. Gunn has a historical past of taking characters who appear to be monsters and revealing that they are truly rather more nuanced, and Nanaue is one in all his finest. Here is hoping that little second in “Creature Commandos” was only a trace of extra King Shark goodness to come back.
