Since Fillion being in the movie was a given, I feel like the news that Steve Agee will voice King Shark is the bigger piece of news.

I really only thought they would bring back Robbie. Happy to see I was wrong.

I hope it isn’t some D list villain, but most likely it will be.

Polka-Dot man can only be considered as high as a L list villain. so I’m thinking they could very well go lower on the list if they wanted

Hope it is an important role and not a merely cameo, still with so many characters i dont know how many develovment he will get.
