King Shark set to return for “The Flash” / “Arrow” crossover event
Arrow star David Ramsey gave a huge tease of some funny shark business for the fabled “Arrow”/”Flash” crossover event. During a panel appearance this past weekend at Heroes & Villains Fan Fest in San Jose, CA, Ramsey who plays Diggle on Arrow indicated that King Shark may be making his return to the CW / DC-verse as part of the upcoming Heroes Join Forces event:
We are going to be tracking down a particular member of the Suicide Squad that so happens to be a 14-foot shark
King Shark’s 30 second first appearance was a shocker to fans, and with the nemesis back again, we know the CGI team was reeling with excitement at the hours of non-stop modelling, texturing and lighting they had to do.
Check out the details of the crossover event “Heroes Join Forces” below:
