James Gunn is aware of methods to make VFX look lifelike. His work on Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy with creating Rocket Raccoon and Groot has made the characters a staple of the MCU.

However, his most difficult creation is King Shark from the brand new DC comics film The Suicide Squad, which Gunn is directing. In an interview with Gamesradar, Gunn offered perception into simply how complicated the method of growing King Shark was in comparison with his work on Guardians. “From a character standpoint, he’s very different from [Rocket and Groot], because at the end of the day, with the Guardians, we know they’re good,” Gunn says. “That isn’t true of the Suicide Squad. King Shark is a fish, and he eats human beings. He doesn’t have such a mammalian love for people. But he wants to belong, and he wants to show that he’s smart. And he’s not.”

The issue sounds prefer it’s all the way down to the kind of animals Gunn is working with. A Raccoon can stand upright, and when it’s time to get what they want, they’ll use their fingers. A Shark has no fingers or legs, however King Shark is a strolling, speaking shark with arms and 4 webbed fingers on every hand within the comics and the film. Gunn confirms this, stating, “Rocket was hard because it’s difficult taking an animal and turning it into a humanoid shape, but it’s five times more difficult to do that with a shark – it was a very, very painstaking process.”

Sylvester Stallone is lending his voice to the Shark man. Stallone and Gunn appear to have working relationship because the Rocky star additionally appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Interestingly, Gunn went with extra of an animated look than utilizing sensible results for King Shark within the first Suicide Squad movie directed by David Ayer. You would by no means know the way difficult making this character was as a result of Gunn provides these characters photorealism to look genuine and plausible on-screen.
