Marvel actor and all-around badass Frank Grillo is trading his crossbones for stars and stripes after joining the cast of Peacemaker Season 2 for DC. Grillo is lacing up his boots to play Rick Flag Sr. for the sophomore season of James Gunn’s superhero series, starring John Cena as Christopher “Chris” Smith, aka Peacemaker. Rick Flag Sr. is the father of Rick Flag Jr., played by Joel Kinnaman in David Ayer’s Suicide Squad and Gunn’s The Suicide Squad. Cena’s Peacemaker killed Rick Flag Jr. in The Suicide Squad, leading me to think it’s time for revenge.
Before Grillo’s Rick Flag Sr. appears in Peacemaker Season 2, he’ll debut in animated form in the upcoming Max series Creature Commandos. The monster-centric animated series revolves around a black ops team working for Viola Davis’s Amanda Waller.

James Gunn is currently on a tight and hectic schedule working on both Superman and Peacemaker Season 2. With both hands full and timetable loaded, fans have felt deeply concerned about the filmmaker and the fate of the two projects.
John Cena in Peacemaker
The director addressed this query on his social media platform, and it seems he is devoting more time for Superman while still making visible progress on the Peacemaker sequel. It is a tough job to handle two different projects and develop them at the same time, but that seems to be the thrill and joy of it.

Just like the first season, James Gunn has written every episode of Peacemaker season 2, but he won’t be able to direct as many this time around as he’s in the midst of directing Superman. “Yes, I’ve written all the episodes; but, no, in the interest of getting the show out there I won’t be able to direct them all (only some),” Gunn said last month. He added that that will be “three other great directors joining me for the season.“

With the release of ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,’ the Dceu era came to a close, making way for Gunn’s and Safran’s Dcu. It’s been known for years that the Dcu would mirror the MCU, with multiple phases or “chapters.”
The first chapter, ‘Gods & Monsters,’ was announced, with ‘Creature Commandos’ being its inaugural project. However, ‘Superman: Legacy’ is set to unofficially kickstart the new Dcu. Notably, ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 will transition from Dceu to the new Dcu, with Gunn ensuring it fits seamlessly into the canon.
Gunn recently confirmed that ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 and ‘Waller’ will be filmed simultaneously. According to Pwinsider, John Cena will be occupied from June to November 2024 with shooting the second season. Cena will be filming in the Atlanta area during this time, with production expected to wrap up around Thanksgiving.

Since then, a lot has changed, the most drastic change definitely being Dceu transitioning into Dcu under the leadership of Gunn and Safran.

The Dceu (DC Extended Universe) era of DC Comics film and TV adaptations has come to an end, making way for the Dcu (DC Universe) that’s going to be overseen by producers James Gunn and Peter Safran… but there is one Dceu project that’s going to make the transition between universes: the Max TV series Peacemaker, which was created by Gunn and serves as a spin-off from his Dceu film The Suicide Squad. Although season 1 of the show was produced during the Dceu era, Gunn is going to make season 2 part of the Dcu era, right after he makes his Dcu Superman movie Superman: Legacy. Interacting with fans on Threads, Gunn promised that Peacemaker shifting from Dceu to Dcu isn’t going to be confusing.

As the new year dawns, a fresh cinematic universe is on the horizon for DC Comics-based projects. With James Gunn at the helm, he doesn’t shy away from dispelling rumors surrounding ‘Superman: Legacy’ and potential additions to the revamped Dcu.
Recent rumors circulating about planned and unplanned Dcu properties have centered on the speculated ‘Waller’ TV Show.

As the DC Extended Universe is counting down its last months of existence, we are getting close to the start of the Dcu era. The WGA strike recently concluded, so the writing process on all the upcoming DC projects is now allowed to continue, and as soon as the still ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike is resolved, we’re expecting to get more information about the upcoming cinematic universe for which we all have high hopes because we hope Warner Bros. and DC Studios have learned a lot from their past mistakes with Dceu.

Orchestrating a reboot of a single property is tricky, but reintroducing audiences to a universe is far more complex. Do you start from scratch? Do you keep certain characters because of their established history and fan appeal? Does rewriting a world mean everything that came before is moot? These likely are some of the questions DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran asked themselves when shaping the new DC Universe. Thankfully, Gunn isn’t shy about engaging with fans and recently clarified when the new Dcu canon begins.

The highly-anticipated second season of “Peacemaker” has been delayed, DC co-ceo James Gunn revealed during a presentation on the upcoming Dcu slate that TheWrap attended along with a small group of reporters.
Gunn said that he’s been too busy writing a new “Superman” movie and the upcoming animated DC series “Creature Commandos” and, as a result, “Peacemaker” Season 2 got pushed. But not to worry — a previously announced spinoff based on Viola Davis’ Amanda Waller will help kick off a new era of Dcu storytelling.
“Viola is still playing Waller and she has Team Peacemaker in this,” Gunn noted. “This is really a continuation from Peacemaker.”
“Waller” will be written by Christal Henry (“Watchmen”) and Jeremy Carver (“Doom Patrol”) and executive produced by Gunn and Safran.

When director James Gunn took on a soft reboot of The Suicide Squad, he brought in some familiar members, some less familiar characters, and one who was, at best, tangential to the team in the comics. Yet, with a keen eye for casting, the director knew exactly who would make Peacemaker work despite his odd Pat Boyette-designed costume and weird rationale provided by co-creator Joe Gill. Christopher Smith loved peace so much he would violently assure it.
In the form of former pro wrestler turned actor John Cena, the character played it so straight that he was hysterical in an already gonzo film. Apparently, Gunn was so enchanted with the performance that he idly began writing a backstory miniseries and when he mentioned it to producing partner Peter Safran, he was encouraged to sell it. HBO Max snapped it up and it is now available on Blu-ray from Hob Home Entertainment.

In this edition of The Silver Lining, we’ll be covering Colin Minihan’s alien abduction thriller, Extraterrestrial!
At one point, it can be argued that the Vicious Brothers were one of Canada’s most influential filmmaking duos, only challenged by the Soska Sisters in genre cinema. While these punk-rock partners (who aren’t really brothers) skyrocketed to stardom after the popularity of 2007’s Grave Encounters, they weren’t too keen on repeating themselves after that initial success, even passing along their directorial duties to John Poliquin on Grave Encounters 2.
For their next endeavor, the duo decided to look back on an unproduced passion project. Inspired by their perceived lack of “cool” alien movies in the horror genre, the filmmakers had come up with a story informed by UFO abduction accounts and government conspiracy theories long before their first feature film. Updating the script, they soon began production on what would eventually become 2014’s Extraterrestrial.

After more than seven years together, James Gunn “finally” married the love of his life, actress Jennifer Holland.
The “Guardians of the Galaxy” director took to Instagram on Friday and revealed that he and the “Peacemaker” star tied the knot Friday in front of family and friends in Aspen, Colorado. The picturesque wedding ceremony even included one uninvited guest — a moose! Gunn’s post included photos and videos of the event, which showed a moose lurking in the background just as the ceremony began.
Gunn would later reveal that the wedding ceremony went down at Dunbar Ranch, where the moose made itself at home. The director tweeted, in part, “For those who don’t know, moose are the most dangerous wild mammals in North America. But the big dude just wandered by. @MatthewLillard yelled out, ‘It’s James’ Dad!'”

“There’s different directors that are like, ‘hey go for it,’ and then there’s directors like James,” reveals stunt coordinator Wayne Dalglish about the close collaboration between the expert stunt team and creator and showrunner James Gunn on HBO Max’s “Peacemaker.” For our recent webchat, he adds that “he’s like ‘I want to see this person, this person, then this person do that, and then within that, have fun! He’s really great at what he does, so for me it’s a learning experience. I’ve worked for other directors and they’re just ‘here’s point A, and here’s the end, go for it,’ and I enjoy that too, so it’s fun both ways.”
The stunt work on “Peacemaker” is so extensive and complicated that Dalglish invited Gaston Morrison to join him as fellow stunt coordinator to divide and conquer the huge undertaking before them.

Viola Davis is eyeing a return to the DC universe.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Suicide Squad and Peacemaker alum is in talks to reprise her role for a series in the works at HBO Max.
Waller was last seen on Peacemaker Season 1, and the series also featured Waller's daughter Leota Adebayo (played by Danielle Brooks).
It's unclear at this stage what the plot would be, and given that it sounds like it is still very early in development, many things could change.
Peacemaker was a huge success for HBO Max, and broke through around the world, so another series set in the Suicice Squad universe was inevitable.

Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, Chukwudi Iwuji and Robert Patrick also star.
Gunn wrote all eight eps and directed five, while also serving as exec producer alongside Peter Safran and Matt Miller.

The bad news: Peacemaker‘s super-fun opening credits are due for a Season 2 redo. The good news? One can only wonder — and in the meantime, speculate! — what series creator James Gunn might do for an encore.
Purposely created to be “un-skippable” (meaning, you’d never reach for the Skip Intro button), Peacemaker‘s Season 1 credits quickly amassed many a fan and critical rave. Barging into each episode with the first shouts of Wig Wam’s “Do Ya Wanna Taste It,” the 90-second song-and-dance number — choreographed by Charissa-Lee Barton, directed by Gunn and filmed over one day in a high school...

Freddie Stroma plays the very dangerous "yes man" in Peacemaker's life, Adrian Chase, Aka Vigilante. In Vigilante's story, in which he casts himself as a hero, he also casts himself as Peacemaker's Bff. He's less of a sidekick, and more of Chris' partner in crime -- and life. He's also unhinged and, all jokes aside, terrifying. Yet, against all odds during the season 1 finale, creator James Gunn and Stroma make audiences want to see this sociopath survive in the end.
Maybe a part of the reason why comes down to the chemistry Stroma shares with John Cena, which Stroma says happened on day one. "I'm...

James Gunn's "Peacemaker" has an incredible cast. After getting a taste in "The Suicide Squad," John Cena's endless charisma and pitch-perfect comedic timing takes center stage in the eight-episode HBO Max series. When you add co-stars like Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, Danielle Brooks, Chukwudi Iwuji, and Freddie Stroma to the mix, everything gets taken to the next level. Not just the comedy — the action, the emotional connections, and the stakes all go as hard as the incredible soundtrack assembled by Gunn himself.
