John Cena makes a brief cameo as Peacemaker in Gunn\u2019s recently released Superman, where he\u2019s seen on a talk show, giving a litany of reasons he\u2019s never trusted Superman. So did the end of that movie change his perception of the Man of Steel? Said Gunn: \u201cI think that Peacemaker probably admires Superman a little bit more than he did.\u201d But Gunn notes there is a bit of a murky area there, because as we see in Peacemaker Season 2 trailer, Chris is trying to join the Justice Gang in Season 2. <\/p>\n
As Gunn put it, \u201cWe see him in the movie and he’s talking crap about Superman and I think he probably admires him a little bit more than he did beforehand 1753584188, but also he really wants to get in with the Justice Gang. So he’s not going to say any more mean things about Superman knowing they’re his pals.\u201d As for his previous statements about Superman, if they were brought up, Gunn said Peacemaker would \u201cwalk it back. He’s got no backbone with stuff like that.\u201d <\/p>\n
Regarding his overall approach to Season 2, Gunn explained, \u201cI think the theme of Peacemaker Season 2, if anything, is about redemption. This is a character who knows he did wrong in the past. He has changed dramatically from Season 1. The one thing I didn’t want to do is have Peacemaker act exactly like he did at the beginning of Season 1. We saw dramatic things happen to him in the way he’s connected with other people in Season 1, and he has changed because of that. His friendship with Leota Adebayo has changed him completely. And now this is a new Peacemaker who is struggling to try to be the best person he can be. Often failing, but really trying his best to do that, and then all of a sudden his past won’t let him go, whether it’s his relationship with his father, who’s now gone, or his relationship with Rick Flag Jr’s dad [played by Frank Grillo]. So it’s really about that struggle about looking for redemption and also looking for love.\u201d <\/p>\n

On that last point, Gunn elaborated, \u201cThere is a love story in this. The first season was about the relationship between Leota Adebayo and Peacemaker. This in a lot of ways is about Peacemaker and Harcourt and their relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n
Among the additions to Season 2 is Sol Rodr\u00edguez as Sasha Bordeaux, a character primarily associated with Batman in the comics. Rodr\u00edguez said she felt \u201cSasha’s essence is still there from the comics, but she’s bringing new vibes,\u201d and that when it comes to the DCU’s eventual version of Batman, \u201cShe has nothing to do with that.\u201d Though who\u2019s to say if Gunn was joking or not when he replied, \u201cYet!\u201d to that statement about Sasha and Batman having no connection. <\/p>\n
When Rodr\u00edguez added she very much didn\u2019t know who will eventually be playing the DCU\u2019s version of Batman, Gunn then added, regarding all of the fan speculation, \u201cI don\u2019t know who\u2019s playing Batman!\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Warning!
