‘Peacemaker’ has commenced production on a new season, following the conclusion of its first one more than two years ago.
On Saturday, James Gunn, co-chairman and co-CEO of DC Studios, posted a selfie to Instagram featuring Peacemaker’s recognizable headpiece. Gunn wrote, “Cloning this picture” “Day 1 S2,” with the mermaid emoji paying homage to the show’s audience. Vigilante (Freddie Stroma) revealed in the first season that he preferred the mermaid emoji, which can represent a variety of emotions from happiness to melancholy.
Gunn was the writer and director of the first season of the superhero series “Peacemaker” on Max, which starred the violently sensitive character Peacemaker played by John Cena. Along with these actors from the first season were Robert Patrick as White Dragon, the father of Peacemaker, Danielle Brooks, Chukwudi Iwuji, Jennifer Holland, and Steve Agee. Gunn talked about his ultimate goal for the character and his growth in an interview with Variety after the Season 1 finale.
“The most important thing for me in the first season was who Peacemaker was and where was he going,” he stated. “What was his personal journey? The Butterflies and the plot and all of that is secondary to who he was as a character and what his changes were, as well as the other characters and where they began and where they end because they all have little changes for themselves — with the exception of Vigilante, who’s sort of a straight line the whole time. So I know where Peacemaker starts and where he ends, but I’m playing with other ideas around that and how that’s gonna play out.”
