\n\t\t\tJames Gunn Wrote 1 Thing into Peacemaker As An Afterthought \u2013 It\u2019s Now a Huge Part of The DCU
\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\nThere’s an element from Peacemaker Season 1 that impacted Superman, as well as the show’s second season. <\/p>\n
The physicality of Sasha Bordeaux was a big part of the reason why Rodriguez believed she\u2019d never get the opportunity to play in a superhero sandbox. I mention to her that there are some very funny moments in Episode 5 where her character is framed in such a way that emphasizes the actress\u2019s petite frame, whether she\u2019s standing next to John Cena, or staring Jennifer Holland in the face.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen they put me next to Steve Agee, I’m 5’2, he’s 6’7. Like, don’t do that to me!\u201d the actress joked switch CBR. \u201cThat’s another reason why I never thought I was going to be able to do a role like this that required that presence, that strength. Because I was like, \u2018Who’s going to believe I can kick ass?\u2019 But you know what? If you’re a cyborg, you can be small and still kick ass.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019s A Movie Made In Three Parts\u2019<\/p>\n

James Gunn has held the last three episodes of Peacemaker Season 2 very close to his vest. During the world premiere in New York City, he mentioned on the red carpet that he hasn\u2019t even let anyone in his personal circle see the episodes, for fear of spoilers getting out. But he did claim that the last three episodes (of which he directed episodes 6 and 8) are some of the most favorite stuff he has ever done.<\/p>\n
I asked Sol Rodriguez what she could tease about these episodes that no one is allowed to see, and she told CBR:<\/p>\n
It’s a movie made in three parts. It’s big, big episodes. Big everything. Everything becomes crazy. Everyone starts to intertwine, and they’re very \u2014 that’s why they’re not sending them to you. They’re very big episodes. I hope you enjoy them once they come out.<\/p>\n
She also elaborated on the different experience that came with having Gunn as her director for episodes 6 and 8, telling CBR, \u201cHe knows what he wants. He wrote this. Nobody’s going to tell him otherwise. He has his vision, and he just tells you what he wants and we do it, and it’s great having him directing. It was one of my favorite days on set, when he’s there. He’s also very fun. He’s telling jokes on his mic, laughing his ass off. It’s just so fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
Even though I feel like this season is heading for some devastation. Because I don\u2019t believe that the alternate universe is rose-colored and peachy keen. I don\u2019t think Auggie Smith (Robert Patrick) is a good man. And I think James Gunn like to hurt John Cena. And, by extension, us.<\/p>\n
Peacemaker Episode 6 airs Thursday, Sept. 25, and it all builds to the finale, set to air on HBO Max on October 9.<\/p>\n
