Creature Commandos star Steve Agee says he didn't expect John Economos to carry over into the DCU - especially given the fact that he spent more time on the Suicide Squad set as a CGI shark than Margot Robbie did as Harley Quinn.
"John Economos' role in Suicide Squad was a guy in the computer room, and he had some funny stuff, some comic relief stuff. And my role of King Shark - the motion capture for King Shark was way bigger. I think I worked more days than anybody else on the movie, including Margot, and that was mostly King Shark," Agee tells GamesRadar+.
"So when he said - again, it wasn't until he had actual scripts done - that we were doing a spin-off for Peacemaker and that Economos was part of it, I was shocked, honestly. I was one of the first people that he told about the possibility of becoming the head of DC. But at that point, he hadn't figured anything out. So he never mentioned anything about Economos. I kind of know about as much as you do, you know, and he doesn't tell me anything until he's had an idea greenlit and then finished the script. I’m along for the ride."
