It's not happening.

I think Michael Rooker is awesome but in Guardians he played Yondu like an alien version of his character in Walking Dead, whether that's on him or James Gunn I don't know but I rather have someone else in the role.

Thank God. Again, I love Rooker, but he's not a good fit for that character. He is, however, a fantastic fit for several others if he does wind up being cast in the movie eventually.

Well this is great news I love this actor and hopefully he wont be killed off, we need king shark in multiple movies

I think Dave Bautista would be a better fit (although I would rather seem him as Bane, but I'm guessing that because of Dune, we won't see him at all). I just can't imagine Rooker's raspy voice and southern accent coming out of Nanaue's mouth. John Cena was apparently in talks to join the cast, and I think he'd be a better fit for that character, too. And I love Michael Rooker, but this doesn't seem right to me. I would however, absolutly love it he were to play Sportsmaster, Unknown Soldier, or Captain Cold.

I really like this casting were it to happen, he would make this character pop IMO. Hopefully this goes through and the movie itself will be good.
