Peacemaker writer/director James Gunn and star Jennifer Holland checked in from the set as filming on the second season rolled along.
Sometimes, it’s nice to start off the week with some nice, fun updates. For example, writer/director James Gunn checked in via social media from the set of filming the second season of John Cena-starring Peacemaker. It was a nice image of Gunn and Jennifer Holland (Emilia Harcourt) just letting us know that work is rolling on. That’s pretty much it. Nice, simple, and to the point. Is every other comment a request from someone to get Gunn to confirm or deny the Kyle Chandler/Lanterns report? Definitely – but that’s not Gunn’s and Holland’s fault.
“Live from the #Peacemaker set. ✌️🧜♂️” was the caption to Gunn’s post, with Gunn and Holland offering up some positive vibes:
Joining the cast for the season is Frank Grillo as Rick Flag, Sr. (from Creature Commandos), Sol Rodriguez (Star Trek: Picard) as Sasha Bordeaux, Tim Meadows (Mean Girls, Saturday Night Live) as ARGUS Agent Langston Fleury, and David Denman (Bosch: Legacy) in an undisclosed role. Behind the camera, Gunn also confirmed that Greg Mottola (Superbad) and Peter Sollett (Ordinary Joe) had been tapped to direct a few of the season’s episodes. Now, here’s a look back at the opening credits for the first season as we imagine what the opener for Season 2 will be like:
Steve Agee (Super, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Brightburn) rejoined Gunn and Cena for Peacemaker, reprising his film role of John Economos, a warden of Belle Reve Federal Penitentiary and an aide to Viola Davis‘ Amanda Waller. Danielle Brooks (Orange Is The New Black) joined the series as Leota Adebayo, with Robert Patrick (Terminator 2: Judgment Day) in the role of Auggie Smith. Jennifer Holland (Brightburn) reprised her film role of Emilia Harcourt, and Freddie Stroma (Bridgerton) took on the role of Adrian Chase, aka Vigilante. In addition, Chukwudi Iwuji (When They See Us) as Clemson Murn, Lochlyn Munro (Riverdale) as Larry Fitzgibbon, Annie Chang (Shades of Blue) as Detective Sophie Song, Christopher Heyerdahl (Togo) as Captain Locke, Nhut Le (Kroll Show) as Judomaster, and Elizabeth Faith Ludlow (The Walking Dead) and Rizwan Manji (Perfect Harmony) as recurring characters of Keeya and Jamil. Alison Araya (Riverdale) & Lenny Jacobson (Narcos: Mexico) were tapped for the roles of the married couple Amber and Evan, respectively.
Gunn, Brad Anderson (Session 9), Rosemary Rodriguez (The Walking Dead), and Jody Hill (The Righteous Gemstones) directed the eight-episode series. Gunn and Peter Safran served as executive producers, with Cena as co-executive producer. Peacemaker was produced by Gunn’s Troll Court Entertainment and The Safran Company in association with Warner Bros TV. The series explores the origins of Cena’s The Suicide Squad character, a man who believes in peace at any cost — no matter how many people he has to kill to get it.
